Review of Baki the Grappler

[This season is the best by far] ⪻- Review | Comment and Reflection -⪼ Baki's scoop is very fresh. By fresh I mean that it is a first that brings something new to this industry with such repetitive and generic animes, and this is surprising, since Baki itself is very simple. Baki's story is good, simple, and entertaining. As the scoop says, Baki is a 13-year-old who under the supervision of his mother grows stronger, learns different martial arts techniques and fights against different enemies. All this to surpass his father from him, considered the strongest being in the world and nicknamed the "Ogre". Baki as such does nothave a strong enough reason to defeat his father, that is what I find interesting, since he is being forced into something he does not want, but then the push would enter that would drive Baki to fulfill his objective until the end. day of his death, and that would be the death of his mother, which causes Baki to go into anger and challenge Yujiro in one of the most epic battles in anime.

The art and animation are very bizarre, but I love them, as they transmit a lot of power in the blows, and the aesthetic is very original.

Finally, the negative points.
The fundamental thing I consider is that Baki abuses the factor "this character is the strongest in the world", and this is bad. It gets to a point where you can't take power levels seriously due to how absurd everything is, let alone expect something from a character. The best example would be that the anime says that the soldier Baki fought with is considered to be the second strongest being in the world and in the end he is a smoke seller ...

Another thing I hate is that it does NOT make sense for Baki to befriend all the guys he fights with. For example, the smoke seller who was considered the second strongest man, who previously intended to kill him without problems, now suddenly become friends for no reason.

For these negative points, Baki just seems good to me, but it is not an anime that I would watch again or crazy.
