Baki Hanma

Before I give my review of this, I'll have to say something that many people are thinking: The original 90s "prequel" Baki was a fun time, when Netflix came out with a sequel continuation of the series, it actually made people appreciate the original series more and respect Netflix for continuing the Baki storyline on screen, regardless if they watched the prequel series. Many would have liked to see another continuation or spin-off of this franchise but Netflix decided to do a "What If..." reboot instead of giving old and new viewers what they want. Netflix thinks that their quality of production makes up for their lack of insight. Stop coming out with new shows and reboots and focus on what people actually want. People would rather watch 5 shows that they like and are invested in than 500 1 season shows.

Whether you're a Baki fan or not, it's a decent watch and interesting time. Watch it and take it for what it is. It still has the spirit of Baki, just not the story of Baki. It's a distraction piece that no one asked for but they will still watch. I'd love to give this a 1 star, just to tell Netflix to stop coming out with new horse****, but it's a quick and easy watch while you do other things around the house because the story doesn't actually matter and standalone it's alright.

Oh, and never trust what people say when they use exclamation points online....

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?

Hello, When i saw "baki the grappler(2001-2007)" series for the first time i was always excited to watch all it's coming shows. Its was fighting, martial art, exciting story and lot of fun to watch.

Now rest of baki is on netflix and all the series and season are less about fighting and more about history lessons. They are too slow, the fighting is of just 10seconds not more than that, and in between fight is again too much history lesson, which the whole series and damn boring to watch. Now in every episode i dont feel excitement rather i feel sleepy.

Very disappointed by the maker for making such exciting and fun anime series just boring boring and boring.

Great animation and awesome fight scenes. I love the style, and how the narrator will take you aside, going into detailed explanations of technique and style using all types of comparisons and analogies. The first half of season 2 is interesting, but ultimately ruins the whole series. The second half of season 2 is straight cheeks. The Ogre and Baki showdown is the worst of all the confrontations in the series, and is precluded by filler episodes where Baki and Ogre both engage in the most uncharacteristic behavior per everything we know about them. The finale will leave you extremely disappointed.

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!
