Review of Baki: The Great Raitai Tournament Saga

After the release of the first season I had high hopes for this adaption of Baki, however, while it is a great adaption- its a far cry from the first season. I have 3 key points to pick at. First off the fights, the art was crisp and direct exactly like the manga, I wasn't at all disappointed, but the commentary- the commentary was disgusting, I hope they know that most anime watchers aren't blind, I don't need a screeching voice drowning out the action and screaming "Ryujin this" "Ryujin that" every damn second. The narrator was as good as always Secondly the pacing, while the pacingseemed fine at first they seemed to have shortened the fights out quite a bit but its overall fine.

Finally the characters, we finally see development in Baki and not side characters! The character of Mohammad Ali Jr is way to cocky in the anime compared to the manga.
Overall I am not disappointed but the announcer in the arena pissed me off enough to throw my remote into the wall.
