BAKI
| I never see Baki brought up in general anime discussions regarding 2018 anime. I wonder why that is? I think this anime is extremely good, every episode it feels like something spectacular happens. It's bizarre, over-the-top, funny, good fight scenes. As far as a battle anime goes Baki feels unique and a fresh twist on the genre with the hyper focus on real world martial arts and peak athletes taken to superhuman levels. Is it because it's a sequel to an anime from the early 2000's? While the original 2 seasons of Grappler Baki were good, this season somehow feels like it has amped the crazy up orders of magnitudes. Imo it blows the old anime out of the water. Though I am a bit disappointed that Baki Hanma has hardly fought at all this season, Baki himself as a character actually doesn't matter much too me, as pretty much every other character feels way more interesting and badass than Baki. We have the likes of Haneyama, Doppo, Retsu, Oliva, Shibukawa, Jack, and fucking Yujiro who are all badass as fuck so I really don't miss Baki that much. I haven't read the manga yet but I will get around to that eventually. Around here I see many people complain about how current anime is too moe, yet none of them are watching this incredible kickass anime. smh |

ziad1419 said: I think baki 2018 better than baki 2001 I liked Prisoners characters and oliva They better than old fighters in baki 2001 I agree. The prisoners are interesting and each one has a neat gimmick. I love how dirty they fight compared to the martial artists. There is never a dull moment in these battles. Oliva is my favorite character so far. He's incredibly badass and also hilarious. Dude is a monster who can regenerate by eating steak and drinking wine. lmao |

| Maybe there are more people like me who has a "Don't watch until it finishes airing" policy. I'm %90 sure I'll love the hell out of this show, it looks so absurd and over-the-top it's my thing but I'll have to be patient because waiting a whole week for an episode loses it's momentum for me. |

| Its a mindless action flick, nothing wrong with that but people are over those type of series for the most parts. A lot of people are looking for series that has both good action and depth to it. You should be happy that it is not popular though or it would be getting a lot of hate as well. I can see the jo jo fans liking this series though, because it is "manly" lol |

I can see the jo jo fans liking this series though, because it is "manly" lol Pretty much all anime is "mindless" though. For example, LotGH is just a mindless space soap opera. There actually is some "depth" in Baki though if you look at it. The way the martial arts and athletic phenomena is covered is with realism and its apparent the mangaka did his research. The mangaka knows what he's talking about. Plus he has had military background. Sure the main draw is strong guys hurting each other, but for that there is depth in that for what it is. I suppose this would appeal more to people who are into martial arts or MMA. It's interesting to those who know or have interest in the topics covered in this show. Can't really say Baki lacks "depth" imo. |

| Modern anime fans only watch waifu-pandering and fujo-bait anime. They also like watching anime with generic art. |

| might be that people are waiting for it to finish? that said though, the art style's a bit of an acquired taste - it's quite a lot to take in when you start watching and, rather than seeing normal people, it's just a whole lotta muscle. agree with you that baki feels irrelevant. so far, it seems the only development he's had is that he had sex? the other characters are way superior to him; loved how doyle's changed over the season. |

| I only knew about Baki on Netflix. Didn't even knew such anime existed. I enjoy this fights a lot. Also I gotta watch season 1 and 2, and holy shit the season 1 is released on like 2000. After 17 years they release season 3. |

| Tbh I never really was motivated to watch JoJo. Downloaded episode 1 of the 1st season. But there was just too much to catch up and I didn't like the char design and the fancy colors. On the other hand I liked the preview of the new Baki series and found out about the older series. (And the manga which seems to have even more volumes than JoJo manga - even with Donald Trump appearing at some point lol. :D) Watched old season 1. Liked it. Currently watching season 2. Then this one (new anime = season 3). I only hope they are adapting everything. Saw already another season got announced. I like the brutal battles. No magic style super power (even though those battle techniqes are super powers). Nice char design. (So far in the old seasons.) And fun, fun, fun. Sometimes the differences in fighters really leads to fun battles. Especially if someone gets really pwned. |
| Because the plot is nonexistent, the characters are poorly presented, are brain dead and have very little charisma with the exception of Oliva and the fights are stilted and boring to watch. |
| Because it kind of sucks. There is never any real danger to Baki since he dispatches his enemies as if they were feeble toddlers, no matter how much they were hyped up prior to a fight. |
| To answer the OP's question, Baki is popular, but the overlap isn't as great with users active on MAL. I remember when RIZIN (the current premier Japanese MMA organization, even if they're a pale shadow of what PRIDE was), released a poster for an event with Baki on the cover; https://i.redd.it/87ez55sggq201.jpg You'd be amazed at how many of the grizzled MMA gamblers I talk to, men (including myself) in their 30s with a wife and/or kids who one would never peg as anime fans that knew exactly who Baki was. The series straddles a very fine line between cool and ridiculous, funny and serious, bushido code and piss-take, and it's not one that I imagine every anime fan to appreciate or enjoy. |
