To make this short, Baki the grappler is a great anime series mixed with brutal fights and well rounded fully fleshed out characters that really make the fights shine. The fighting styles of each character really differ from one another making each battle different and unique. The story pales in places but not enough to affect overall. For the price (which was about 20 bucks for me) it’s simply unbeatable, it may lack story elements that other more deep anime shows contain but it more than makes up for it with great characters and amazing fights.

Like I said, if you love mma and anime (like myself) you’ll love this show. If you’re looking for a deep story, you wont find it here but if u like action this is for you and for 48 episodes and for this price you just cant go wrong the only thing is no matter how much of a bad ass baki becomes he has that baby face that will always make you laugh but that is just nitpicking so just buy these dvds.

Baki the Grappler, eight discs, 48 episodes of pure violence, and
as another reviewer stated “The UFC of anime”. If that is your cup
of tea then this series will not dissappoint. Baki boasts nicely done
voice-overs and a heart-pumping soundtrack which pulls the viewer
further into the world of hand to hand fighting. As with many anime
series, certain episodes are animated by different artists, sometimes
subtly, sometimes blatantly. There were only a few episodes that I
wasn’t too impressed with due to the artist’s lack of understanding
with the way the human body moves, but this is a minor complaint.
A likable 13 year old boy (Baki Hanma) is a tormented soul, living
under the intense pressure from his sadistic, megalomaniacal father
(Yujiro) who is considered the strongest fighter on the planet. Despite
this pressure, Baki is still his father’s blood and equally enjoys the
thrill of combat, but for different reasons. For Yujiro, it is supremecy,
instilling fear into the hearts of opponents just by the utterance of
his name; a man so swallowed up by destruction that he became possessed
by a demon which occassionally reveals itself in a musculature anomaly
on his physique, enabling him to tap into superhuman strength… a man
Baki would like nothing more than to destroy. Even the government bows
to the whims of Yujiro’s insatiable desire to destroy.
The series begins with Baki’s early training as a boy under the guidance
of his uncaring mother, Emi; a woman chosen primitively by Yujiro to bear
him a son.Baki transcends mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually
and inevitably his path takes him to the underground fighting arena where
a fighter can earn his true merit – a battlefield where anything goes. And
this is where the majority of the series takes place, showcasing eclectic
fighting styles pitted against each other with the outcome being mostly
unpredictable.
The series ends rather unpredictably as well, and in my opinion a bit
anticlimactic,which was probably the writer’s goal, to avoid a cliche ridden
ending. This series is a classic among its genre and will hopefully inspire
many other creators to produce a similar anime.
