3/5
If you don't mind the graphic violence, gore, and lack of a complex story, there's still a lot of entertainment that Baki can deliver with its hard-hitting action. Go to Full Review Mariló Delgado Espinof 12/01/2022
2.5/5
You either love it or hate it... It's ridiculous, outrageous, and peculiar with characters who have Hypertrophic musculature and impossible moves. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Erika Hardison Flickering Myth 05/22/2019
Netflix's Baki is a quick watch and it's not a story that commands a lot of attention. For some viewers, it might be background noise for others like me, I simply enjoy dubbed anime with blood splattered everywhere. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 05/22/2019
[Baki] only brings a lot of muscles and a flavorless anime dude who's great for greatness' sake. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

John F @RT94248122 08/06/2024 People should give Baki more of a chance it's a really great anime series See more Shirley C @RT02665393 08/04/2024 It was honestly okay It's not the best anime I've ever seen but it's far from being the worst. I quite liked all the exaggerated people and moves that wouldn't actually be possible in real life though I find Baki himself to be cheesy and he's really overhyped to be this strong and unbeatable character only to not get all that much screen time for a main character. See more Ben F @RT79996128 08/02/2024 Baki is an awesome series See more Slobodan D @Dzikoski 12/01/2023 Absolute perfection of Series See more Koda _ @KodaF 08/28/2023 Pretty good first season, but Netflix has much better animes. See more 10/06/2021 Baki gets hyped a lot during the course of the series besides his name being the name of the series. However, he rarely fights and many of the fight scenes are flooded with dramatic scenes that explain the fighting skills/styles without actually showing more of the fight. If you are expecting to watch an anime based on good fights you will have to sit through many scenes that take away from the fight. Nevertheless, it is a great show to sleep to and save you from the depths of boredom but not when you have better to watch. See more Read all reviews
