Baki the Grappler

One of the best animes out there. Wish they would have made another season for some closure

I watched this one in order to gain a better understanding of the world of the Netfix 2018 one. The first season was good and fun dont take it seriously it was like Kenichi but more violent.Its the usual shounen get stronger become the strongest bla bla bla The main villian was introduced and plot presented become the strongest. Enjoyed all the fights and the animation and sound were bearable.

Season 2 began with the worst opening ive ever heard in an anime and i knew this was gonna pretty. A generic tournament arc began with more characters i didn't care about. They tried to rush squeeze in back stories but i stopped paying attention when one guys fight was shorter then his story. It was like they blew all the money on the first season and didnt know they had make a second season so they scraped some cash and tried to paste together a series. Animation dropped to like 20fps and they were just cuting too many corners. In one fight a guy gets punched so hard he turns into a gif and spins 3 times in the same spot before landing. This part I give 4/10

So just watch the the first season (avoid the 90s OVA) and read the manga for this part if you need to learn more.

If you are a martial arts fan you will love this anime because It's got lots of action and marital arts tournament and displays many style of fighting from the real world.

The story is a bit fast paced for my liking, I would've enjoyed it more if it had more episodes.

All episodes are really high quality and if you prefer to watch the series dubbed then I can tell you that the dubs are really good for this one.

The animation is good and art style too although a bit outdated since it was released in 2001.

It's my favorite anime from all time.

If you are looking at this you are probably familiar with this anime. Maybe you know there is also a manga which takes the blood and bone, bordering realistic theme of this universe, into even greater hype domains.

My favorite manga, my favorite anime, my favorite peace of literature, my favorite philosophical discourse about nature of being A MAN.

Its wonderful in so many ways, and it speaks on many levels. Be prepared to set new PR's and practice sardonic smile in front of a mirror. Be prepared to yell in Japanese for no reason whatsoever (sub > dub). Be prepared to look into the distance and remember ancient arrow catching techniques. Be prepared to start overeating and challenging animals to duels.

1000/10 Would watch again, and AM watching again. hahahah PS: there's a new season out, 2018 production. Its awesome!

I for one love this Anime but going over 48 episodes it may drag out for some fans BUT in my eyes it only helps understand all the people who take part in the show.

Baki is a very interesting hero in this as he is a very troubled young warrior and his father takes the cake in evil bad a55 father awards.

I tell any fans of anime to check this out because it is well worth it but to clear things up this isn't the most blood gory anime out there and yes there is A LOT OF FIGHTING and blood but not on the same level as many other anime titles.

Baki is well worth watching and even though the ending may upset many fans there is always room for more Baki however they decide to go.
