Baki Hanma

This iteration of Baki contains George Lucas levels of people standing around and talking. Where's the constant badass fights from the first run of the show? It's clear this was written by an entirely different and more boring team than before.

There were times I could barely make myself stay awake as everyone just keeps talking and talking. Some of the writing is ridiculously bad too. "He's not just pushing me back... HES PUSHING AMERICA BACK!" ?????????

As if we needed this show about ridiculously muscly dudes fighting each other to finally inform everyone that US capitalism is bad... Keep the simple minded politics out of my dumb epic fight show please.

Just a disappointment compared to the original BAKI show on netflix.

EDIT: Updated to 6 stars because season 2 was a major improvement, and the ending is actually super satisfying! Nice work on that!

Baki is still the best fighting anime. Yea it's different than the tournament parts and there are a couple political messages. But it's manga accurate.

Finished watched yesterday and really it was a great experience.....Awesome visuals, awesome animation, epic fights .... a special treat for Baki Fans.....

The whole point of the show was characters performing ridiculous feats. The same way you don't complain when the characters in JOJO act unrealistically.

Secondly, it was obvious from the start that this series was never JUST about Baki. The previous seasons already made this clear. Plus it doesn't even matter how many fights were there as long as they are developed with proper build-up. And sorry to make you all butthurt but Baki does exactly that.

So what's next? Baki fights too much?

The writer thinks he's writing hunter x hunter but the fights aren't even that sophisticated. The artist is also a bit overly fascinated with male anatomy and it's kind of awkward to watch. I'm also very confused with the connection to the previous series which left off in a contradictory place. The pacing is the absolute worst part, since the narrator will start raving about something stupid, obvious, or not that special, and you'll have to listen to a 10 minute repeated rant about natural order, honor, or made up bs about the human body, and that's pretty much the whole show. They also spend a ridiculous amount of time animating very short seasons, which is a little pointless since there's so little action.
