From what I've gathered, the anime adapts most of the original manga (which is currently getting translated).
New Grappler Baki is next (which is fully translated), then Baki: Son of Ogre (which I believe is also fully translated?), and finally the recent Baki-dou (which is still being published).
Yo, that trailer with all the "beasts" going HAM on a series of increasingly fucked security guards, this show is gonna be on some
type shit, lmao...

Hype! Netflix is not playing around. Hopefully this trend classic resurrection continues. Where are you Golgo 13, and Guyver?
Hopefully the Chinese market is paying attention because I got into Grappler because my love for Jademan comics. I'm sure a series based off their old stable I.e. Dragon Tiger Gate, A Man Called Hero would find success in the medium.

WTF is all of this. Is this the MMA anime we never got? Can I start with this Netflix series? Is Baki popular in Japan?
I liked the corny-ness of JoJo but I found the focus on the super natural to be less interesting. If this is grounded in Martial Arts I dont mind its over the top.

You love jademan? We are now bros. Saint Legend was my jam. So sad the comics one translations died off fast before they finished anything.
I recall seeing pictures of Saint Legend but never read it, but that being said any fan of the Jademan manhua......
Ahhhhh... The anime label. Even the Ghibili films had it.Yo, that trailer with all the "beasts" going HAM on a series of increasingly fucked security guards, this show is gonna be on some

Nice that should let them cover a good amount of manga material without having to rush
Man, I'm rewatching the Maximum Tournament arc now, and this shit is honestly right behind the Dark Tournament for me. The way individual fighters are hyped up is soooo good. The old anime series rises above it's subpar animation, art, and censorship, because the source material is so damn entertaining inherently.
I'm so happy that we're finally seeing an animated continuation. The ending for the original anime just gives you blue balls lmao.

This film was actually my first exposure to Baki. It was pretty nuts with the cord cutting style of martial arts and junk. Had no idea on the history of Baki, Yujiro Hanma, and all the crew. Blew my mind to find out that who Baki fought in that film was just one in a tournament and a relative jobber-tier dude by Baki standards. The stuff people do in this series is nuts. Biscuit Oliva was a crazy thing to read. Dude kept treating his skin with saltwater till it was tanned and hardened like cured leather so it'd work for armor and worked out and consumed crazy amounts. Ridiculous strength (like hulk shit or something) and was essentially a king in prison so powerful that he was unofficially employed by the penal institution to help them bring in fugitives and in return he got whatever he asked for while in prison. Thing was it was more like a courtesy he did anything in prison. He got what he wanted regardless of if he helped because he terrified them. He was essentially unchained which was he nickname. A guy who could come and go as he pleased even while incarcerated and who was in charge not by brutally abusing folks or thru violence but just by his sheer existence terrifying them to the point of catering to him. Sweet thing was he only ever got strong because he loved a woman with all his heart and when she got sick the treatments she took caused her to put on huge amounts of weight and messed up her metabolism. He still wanted to be able to carry her and hold her and never feel less than the goddess she was to him. Dude was all smiles and love for her and was generally pleasant to everyone. He was also an absolute monster of strength who loved to be challenged. He existed as a statement that against certain levels of strength technique loses meaning. He was a very scary concept.
God damn this series had some crazy cast. The intimidation factor and zen-like serenity some of these monsters existed in knowing in full confidence that they were unchallenge-able by normal society was some of the scariest things. Folks knew without knowing them to stand back, not act threatening, and not to challenge them...because they just instinctively knew that if a Baki series fighter was walking calmly thru he was existing hoping that someone out there might challenge him so that he could maybe have a chance to enjoy for a few brief seconds the skills that made their entire life have purpose. The cast is terrifying in how eager and happy they are to go in on folks. They are incredibly happy and thankful for opportunities to have the kind of fights that usually end in dismemberment, paralysis or death because its the only moments they feel alive and get to fully experience themselves living for the monstrously dedicated fighters they are.
God I love this series.
Lol, i've always known about Baki but never really gave it a second thought. This post is amazing tho and makes me want to check it out.
I dropped the manga because Yujiro is so OP nobody can even come close to him. That and the pacing is glacial. This entire last arc was literally nothing happened the manga.
I don't know anything about this, but more violent high budget anime in netflix are always welcome!
There are a few female characters but the series main characters are almost always men.
This arc was what got me into baki. I went in this arc without knowing about the series. Its was cray
Looking good. Happy they didn't make it CG or something. Only bits and pieces of these trailers look familiar though(Granted it's been a long while since I read these). Is this a remixed ver of the convict arc?
to be fair this a show about usually half naked men wrestling with each other...
Somehow I missed this. Looks great! The old anime was my favourite. Some episodes were very well animated.
(I'd prefer Shootfighter tekken to be made into an anime though, they're in the same genre.)
Why is there no goddamned english subtitles? >:(
But anyway, looks great, and exceptionally brutal, as usual.
I really hope they get the guy who did the original soundtrack. He was great.
Wait, what do you mean the first episode is out in Japan? I thought this was coming to Netflix?
There's only one female character in this series and that's Baki's girlfriend.
Only in Japan I believe. The rest have to wait till the fall, just as we did for other anime which Netflix got the rights for but did not fully own / produce.
Shieeet. I know what I'm looking up when I get home.
I've been bumping tracks from that OST for like 10 years lmao. I love the Baki OST.
Just watched the first two episodes.
It was super hype to me :)
Love the insanity, direction, art and violence.
The animations are often limited, but they get buffed up with some nice effects and nicely deliver the impact of forces and moves.
I never really watched the various anime adaptions and never read the manga, so I don't know how happy the baki fans are, but I'm highly entertained by the new show!
