Baki the Grappler

This is hands down the best series I have ever seen in my entire life, it's not even close. The likes of one piece, naruto, dragon ball, bleach, death note, etc. Can't match this. If you call yourself a real man you will undoubtedly love this. Almost every character in this series is driven by their love and passion of fighting and they share the same view of fighting in terms of value, but not in terms of styles. These characters are essentially normal human beings who loves to fight, but they amount to ludicrous feats that are way beyond the limitations of a human. It's also very inconsistent in a way. But this ridiculousness and inconsistency is the epitome of imagination, which is probably the biggest factor that makes this show so damn good to me. The brutality, which is way more apparent in the new netflix version is also a big plus to me. On top of this, there is so much more that makes this show as great as it is but it would be way too much to write about.

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.

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.

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

Baki is my personal 2nd favorite anime behind JoJos Bizzare Adventure much like JoJo this series is over the top redicious but instead of focusing on the supernatural this series is more grounded in reality as in the fighters in this show use nothing but their muscles to achieve superhuman feats while still being humans no energy blasts or psychic ghosts here just brutal human on human bare knuckle brawls exadurated to the Max this not only makes it unique but very entertaining if you like manly anime like JoJo, Fist of the North Star, and Berserk or classic martial arts shonen like Dragonball z and Yuyu hakusho give this a watch you'll love it
