Haven't written a review in god knows how much, but I decided to write one today. It's going to be quick and simple:
Story: 7
Baki is not a show popular with it's in depth stories or whatever, but this single movie-episode? surprised me. Because it is a combination of 2 different shows the dynamic is great(since they are very similar). We got some sneak peeks at the end of the episode,where the prisoners from season 1 are shown.
Animation: 6
Animation hasn't every been a strong part of Baki, but this time it really flopped. It was basically a slideshow. The art is still great, so I bump the score a little. They also managed to integrate the 3D look from Kengan into Baki, so that was cool as well.
Sound: 7
Sound was a bit funky. There were moments were a single sound effect was repeated 10–15 times in a row. The music wasn't diverse, but it was still good.
Characters: 8
Classic Baki characters. If you have liked them up until now, you will like them here as well. The Kengan characters are very similar so they were a nice attribution to everything.
Enjoyment: 8
I still enjoyed it a lot, but that may be because I am a Baki and Kengan fan in general, so the two combined is pretty epic. The episode was a bit too long with all the dialogues and backstories, but that's just classic Baki. It could have been a 30-40 min episode, not 60.
Overall: 7
It isn't something groundbreaking and new, but it's a fun watch.
