As an old school fan of the anime, this is an adequate adaptation of the original work. It has its merits, but also demerits. The first episode is long and spends a lot of time on unnecessary things, considering it is only 5 episodes long, but there is a key moment in the beginning that pays off in the best tournament arc in Anime history that this adaptation completely removed, which is a shame, it might have been possible if we had 10 episodes of 30 minutes each.
What can I say about the CGI? It is okay, but looks "fake", does that make sense? It isn't bad per se, but when you look at it at times, even normal stuff like fire, you can tell they are not using stuntmen for that fire, it is fake CGI fire, so some scenes feel "fake" and because of that, kinda lame?
There's a character wearing a particular hairstyle from back in the days, however one of the protagonists, Kuwabara, also has a popular hairstyle from the days, the pompadour. Did they really give up on that?
Anyway, there are some good and bad adaptations, I thought this live action was going to be bad, but it isn't as bad as I thought, might as well keep watching it.
