I binged this over the weekend and it is KILLER!!!

This has some of the best animated MA fighting I've seen in a while. It's comparable to the first animated Street Fighter movie. There are definite styles and techniques on display. And it has some old school MA movie plot touches. The story is really good, too. And it ends with a nice segue way for an upcoming season. I will sitting through this again. Great mix of occultism and martial arts.
