Baki Hanma (2021–2023)
6/10
9 episodes in and I've seen 2 fights...
3 October 2021
This iteration of Baki contains George Lucas levels of people standing around and talking. Where's the constant badass fights from the first run of the show? It's clear this was written by an entirely different and more boring team than before.

There were times I could barely make myself stay awake as everyone just keeps talking and talking. Some of the writing is ridiculously bad too. "He's not just pushing me back... HES PUSHING AMERICA BACK!" ?????????

As if we needed this show about ridiculously muscly dudes fighting each other to finally inform everyone that US capitalism is bad... Keep the simple minded politics out of my dumb epic fight show please.

Just a disappointment compared to the original BAKI show on netflix.

EDIT: Updated to 6 stars because season 2 was a major improvement, and the ending is actually super satisfying! Nice work on that!
