Baki

Really Boring. But a little bit nice for free time

"Baki" had the potential to be a very good anime.

The story of a boy training to one day beat his own father could have been brought up really well.

Unfortunately, this potential was not used.

"Baki" somehow can't decide whether it wants to be a pure fighting anime or a deep anime.

Sometimes you have the feeling that you can't get out of the exaggerated fights and sometimes you have the feeling of falling asleep because nothing is happening.

The main character also just seems stupid and testerone controlled.

That's why I couldn't watch the anime to the end.

If you're looking for good fighting animes, I think you'd definitely be better off with "Kengan Ashura" or "Megalo Box.

Baki is a action and martials arts series directed by Toshiki Hirono. The series stars Troy Baker and Sora Amamiya who play the rôle of Baki and Kozue. It was originally released in 4 June 2020.

As of now 3 seasons and 39 episodes are available.

The serie is entertaining , for me is the best anime with martials arts. The animation is very good.

A very bizzare experiment of an anime. The plot is nonsensical, fights are incredibly over the top gory, violent and packed with cliche dialog and exposition. Plot ? What plot? Honestly I completely lost track of what is even going on there, who is fighting who and why ? At times it feels like Baki him self is not even the main character but a B-plot. Also the animation quality is all over the place , from very flash-like "handdrawn" scenes to just PS2 era cell shaded 3D, absolutely no consistency. Despite of all of that, it is really out to lunch crazy and it's almost impossible to predict what it's going to happen next, and it's somewhat entertaining in that sense, like watching a live car pile up on the freeway after a snowstorm and cold made the roads all icy. It's good to kill some time in a lockdown.
