Baki
The protagonist, Baki Hanma, trains with an intense focus to become strong enough to surpass his father, Yujiro Hanma, the strongest fighter in the world. Five of the world's most violent and brutal death row inmates are gathering to face Baki. Their objective is to taste defeat -- their unmatched strength and skill have led them to grow bored of life itself, and they now seek out Baki in the hopes that he can overwhelm and utterly crush them. In this crisis, other underground martial art warriors gather to fight by Baki's side: Kaoru Hanayama, Gouki Shibukawa, Retsu Kaioh, and Doppo Orochi. An epic showdown between violent death row inmates and Baki and his friends begins! (Source: Netflix)

Read full review on AniList →Baki the Grappler was a bad manga, and Baki: The Netflix is a bad anime. This is an odd pick on Netflix's part, because Baki 2018 begins several arcs into the manga. When I was reading the manga I got only a little way into the Maximum Tournament arc, so there's a bit of a gap for me in between wha…
Read full review on AniList →Baki is in an odd position where Netflix promotes it as a good place to start for new viewers, but the series itself doesn't quite fit the bill. Baki is a manga and anime franchise that began in 1991 and continues to this day. It's also one of those shows that hasn't been effectively translated into…
