Cornelius T @RT56430633 4d Ts was amazing, frieren fans are review bombing this and sbr like crazy on imdb but they mad that they anime mid af ✌️ rip retsu 🕊️ See more Emanuel T @HabsburgMonarch Mar 7 Whilst maybe not the best season for new Baki fans it certainly is a treat for returning fans with more ridiculous fights and comical narration. Only complaints about this season is the abundance of still frames which seem to be plaguing a lot of new shows recently, and the point at which the season ends in the story, which feels rather abrupt. Aside from that however, this season was fun and I'm certainly looking forward to more. See more Stu C. @Stucart Mar 7 None of that time will ever come back. This was my first Baki experience and my last. The 13 episodes gets you half way through the story. Waste of time IMO! See more Mr. B @Uijgfcc Mar 1 Another talking still frame produced by Netflix, bad even by Netflix Baki standards. Rushed half-baked plot only half completed by the end of the season, not a single file or frame of note, not really worth watching in the slightest. See more Read all reviews
