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!

This season is very slow and barley you can see fight scenes.

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?

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.
