>>215123848ugly muscle men who refuse to die, no matter what you do to them. The author seems to be ultra gay.
Poorly disguised homoeroticism that lacks the charm of jojo or the significance of hokuto no ken to make it enjoyable.
>>215123848>glass half fullcool show for manly men, nice fights, nice inspiration to be stronger and go hit the gym>glass half empty>>215123876>>215123896
Genuinely one of the dumbest pieces of media ever made. It's by design too but that doesn't make it any more entertaining.
>>215123981>nice fightsYeah, all of them almost got killed and they let them escape again from the hospital/whatever. Most stupid shit I watched.
>>215123848You'll enjoy it more if you watch the original Grappler Baki first, even though it's on a shoestring budget (on the other hand, it at least has a couple of well animated episodes, whereas Netflix Baki is a consistent slideshow). It's also better written.
>>215123848>what am I in for?mostly kino
>>215124139this
One of the best endings in all of anime
>>215123848Jojo but good
>>215123848plenty of testosterone
>>215123848
>>215124204That entire series where he mashes up Breaking Bad and Baki is hilarious. The first time I saw Skyler doing the full Yujirō split from the shadows while cooking breakfast I lost my shit
>>215123848unadulterated kino
I read the manga for a couple of monthsI remember almost nothing about itIt all blended together into a weird machismo fever dream
>>215123848homoerotic schizobabble
>>215123848an ugly cartoon with bad proportions judging by this thread
The most masculine anime . Starts out very random if you don't watch the original series
dadaist comedy kino fr fr
>>215123848A fun but underwhelming experience, watch the English dub as well because it's better
>>215123848Complete trite nonsense, that has no drama or meaning.This thing wishes it was Fist of the North Star.
>>215123981>nice inspiration to be stronger and go hit the gymHanayama was born that big
>>215126610It's about surpassing your father and being the strongest
>>215126637And its told so poorly it has no meaning.
>>215123866Shut up bitch. Hey OP if you like it I recommend reading picrel as well as the manga "Tough". I kinda lump a few works into that same box. Golosseum as well. Have fun. I assume you've seen Riki-Oh.
such a shame ill never get a proper jiu jitsu anime kengan ashura doesnt count, characters and story are limp as hell.
>>215126689Picrel D:
>>215123848a LOT of rape
>>215126637>>215126675Also Jujiro lost to Ali jr before he lost to Baki
I look like this btw
>>215126610>Complete trite nonsense, that has no drama or meaning.There's some interesting messages on masculinity and fatherhood in it.
>>215123848It's pretty much reddit meets netflix meets globohomo feminism. Basically it's feminism the show made to hypnotise the viewer into thinking "japanese men bad" and "POC women good". There isn't really much more to this dreary show than that.
>>215127377I don't remember this in the manga :(
Knowledge that if Baki and most of the men didn't have pretty faces then you would have been turned off by the anatomy and/or plot years ago. A series about average-to-ugly autists obsessed with hurting one another getting bruised up and swollen and bleeding? Not too interesting. Watching the prettyboy who is scarred in every place but his face somehow win fights and keep his mug from taking the same damage his body has suffered? Kinda interesting for a self-insert power fantasy but little else. >What if I had the prime, power and promise of youth, was beautiful and could dominate others effortlessly?
>>215127377Chatgpt answer.
>>215123848Insanity kino
Why does this show make so many chuds start thinking about anal sex?
>>215123875>I'm being dabbed on, how could this be happening?
>>215127428Because it doesn't exist
Some fights are kinda neat but the majority of them have wwwwwaaaaaaayyyyy ttttooooooooooo much exposition.>baki slaps his dad on the back>Narrator talks about the epic slap for five minutes>10 minutes describing that one guys super fast punch on pickle>yujiro spinning baki around>narrator talking about how this is true love for like 15 minutes
>>215123848I thought it was kinda fun. loled when the black guy's girlfriend was 500 lbs.
>>215127863The narration tangents are the best part.
Should i watch the 2001 series first to know whats going on?
>>215127863>wwwwwaaaaaaayyyyy ttttooooooooooo much exposition.Compared to what Hunter x Hunter? In that case it has about 80% less. And compare it to shonen shit like Jujutsu Kaisen and the fights are over much quicker.
>>215127863Filtered and uninitiated>>215127957Yes
>>215127863Baki isn't about the fights themselves, per se, but rather, it is about Strength.Fighting is just the most direct way of showcasing that Strength; Strength of varying types, from the purity of Hanayama to the unrelenting domination of Yujiro.In no place is this better emphasized than in the Father Son fight. Yujiro, despite clearly being the superior in physicality, admits defeat due to the prevailing dominance of his son's fighting spriit.Yujiro, the man who cannot be made to do anything, was made to buy an illusion by his son's tenacity.That is their love. That is their Strength.If you want a show just about fighting with similar vibes, Kengan is your thing.But Baki is about Strength in all forms.Strong is Beautiful.
>>215127957You don't need to, but it's better.
>>215123848An anime about beating up your dadexcept at the end, after the pointless side quest about a caveman baki that is never mentioned again, he doesn't even really beat up his dad, he serves him imaginary tea instead
>>215126695>jiu jitsu animelol>LOOK! HE'S SITTING ON THE FLOOR, AND BUTT-SCOOTING! WHERE DID HE LEARN SUCH AN ADVANCED TECHNIQUE?!?>AIIEEE HIS OPPONENT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
>>215128164Didn't they even make fun of it in Baki? I think I remember someone laying on the ground waiting for the other guy to attack and that other guy just walked away
>>215126695There's an MMA manga that's popular right now, Red Blue. I could easily see it getting an anime. It even had a live action TV adaptation.
>>215128297Baki's dad wanted to spar with Mohammed Ali Jr, who's a boxer and was like "here, I'll even start the fight by laying on the ground" and Ali Jr. just walked away saying "weird, in Boxing when someone is laying on the ground that means they've lost" and walked away.also an easter egg of the real Antonio Inoki vs Mohammed Ali fight.iirc the rules were incredibly biased towards Ali, I don't think takedowns were even allowed, and Inoki was only allowed to throw kicks from the ground - which is exactly what he did for the entirety of the fight
>>215128403>iirc the rules were incredibly biased towards AliIt was ridiculous and Inoki was blamed in the West and portrayed as a coward for fighting according to Ali's own rules and stipulations instead of, I guess, walking out there and taking his knockout like a good little boy.
>>215123848>Gay as fuck>Worships blacksi see a pattern here.
>>215127863the tangents explaining the scenario using a random spectator or the narrator explaining how a blow to the nose will make you tear up because its some sort of reflex are the BEST
>>215124204Sandwichis safe
The art of baki has an unique soul to it. I really love how the author does his textures and the way he draws hair. Everything has a hypnotically detailed quality to it that makes the pages a pleasure to look at.
>>215128403>>215129043This was literally a show match, holy shit are you two biggest marks.
One of my favourite baki faces. Perfect combination of proudness for the bullshit feat he accomplished, but also simultanious regret for how fucking stupid and painful it was.
>>215123848enormous amount of psychopathic gay energy from the author
>>215129416Yes. But it's masculine on masculine type of gay energy, which is the based kind. None of that fruity femboy anime shit here.
>>215129416Autobiographical strip by his daughter.
>>215129767I like how he didn't talk down to her
>>215128094>never mentioned againHe's a recurring character from then-on, retard
OH N
>>215123848An anime that can't do the source material justice
>>215129416>enormous amount of psychopathic gay energy from the authorwhy would you say that?
