The only real praise goes to the nostalgic retro-flavored soundtrack that marginally lifts the material. Otherwise, surface-level writing, an obnoxious protagonist, uninspired fights, and 15 dull opening episodes sink the season, while the finale squanders whatever minor growth Baki achieves. The...

Story) The series revolves around it being a complete action series. It manages to have a good plot of a boy trying to make his mother love him despite it not being reciprocated as a motivation but once the events of Emi Akazawa in the middle of the series the plot changes to a revenge story. Des...

The first season of Baki the Grappler focuses on the childhood life of our main hero, Baki Hanma, who is an energetic and a hard headed 13-year-old boy who loves to fight. Day and night he actively searches for any strong opponents from professional boxers, war veterans, monsters to gang leaders ...

So I started watching Baki, which turned out to be season 3, so I paused it and decided I needed to go and watch season 1 and 2 as I heard it’s integral for the story going forwards. Story 7/10 – Quite a generic martial arts/tekken style story but with a few twists that caught me off guard that I...

In this Review you will find very few spoilers. Review first in English and then in Portuguese (PT/BR). Story (Score: 5) : Baki's story is not the best, it has several holes, many things poorly explained and I feel that there was a "hurry" when writing/publishing. Maybe if they had introduced few...

I swear to god this a comedy If your expecting anything like the 2018 Baki Netflix Anime, then your going to be disappointed. Its majorly different, down to how Baki looks, the story and much more. The 2018 Baki Anime, was set halfway through the story, during the deadliest Criminals arc thing, w...

I just got done with the final episode and have moved onto the next season upon writing this. I prior to watching this was a huge Baki the Grappler fan regarding the manga. I very much enjoyed the manga, however the first season of Baki falls short for me. Some of the problems I have with the fir...

In the final scene the boy now grown as a young man decided that his life was of going forward. Life had already beaten him (in an spectacular way) and the memory of his new friends and former rivals propel him to the future. In the road to eternity he makes a stop to meditate and reflect on what...

Baki the Grappler turns a simple “be the strongest” plot into something captivating through the protagonist’s enthralling will to fight, insane action sequences, well-played drama, and striking muscular art. While the series can feel lengthy, its high re-watch value and excellent Japanese voice a...

The martial arts story delivers some unexpected twists and decent art for its time, with Baki and Yujiro emerging as standout characters that show promise for future seasons. However, the remaining cast feels too generic compared to more diverse shows like One Punch Man, and both the sound and fi...

A rollercoaster of emotions that inspires you to be better, this simple yet exciting story pairs vivid characters with a perfect 90s house-electronic soundtrack to become the best fighting anime of its years. The only minor let-down is that the anime waters down the manga’s outrageous designs. Hi...

I only saw the anime that is in 2D animation. It's good but it gives me straw to see it with 3D animation. He has good fights, we see the origin of baki and who he is later in the other animes the story develops more and you understand more who are the protagonists this is only the beginning of b...

The 2D anime delivers solid fights and a valuable origin story that clarifies Baki’s path and future relationships, all while entertaining despite its flaws. The animation is only regular quality, and the prospect of switching to 3D feels off-putting. Recommended with reservations. The most compe...

Baki is an anime that is the definition of "the sum is greater than the parts." individually, it doesn't do anything outstanding. However, together, its just really entertaining. Let's be real. This anime is just one long meme. It knows what it is, who are the people who'd watch it, and caters to...

Baki succeeds as pure entertainment through its self-aware ridiculousness, delivering meme-worthy moments like teenagers defeating grown men and characters with absurd abilities like killing polar bears bare-handed. While the art and music feel dated and individual elements aren't outstanding on ...

due to recent internet fame i decided to give Baki a shot and thought the best way to start watching it is from the very beginning; however i was slightly disappointed to find out that this part of the story is genuinely just about fighting and nearly no BS that is prevalent later in the story; i...
