2/5
Though it can be entertaining to watch Baki's cool-headed analysis of opponents' fight styles, there's little else to watch for. Go to Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? Apr 16, 2023
Baki Hanma Season 1 is a lesser example of the quest for strength that permeates the shonen genre of anime. While there may be moments that will appeal to some, there are numerous other offerings out there that do everything this series does, but better.

Baki Hanma is absolutely ridiculous and absurd, but surprisingly addictive. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Dec 26, 2021
5/10
The effort to make the title tame is rather obvious here, probably in order to attract viewers that cannot handle the brutality associated with the franchise, but this decision has truly ruined a series that was mostly watched for its bloody fights. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Obalet A @RT62074688 Feb 8, 2025 If I'm being honest the fights are really good, the animation is way better now, and the arc is entertaining. The pacing is actually impressive too. Not a lot of people give credit to it for that. See more Michael A @RT37896895 Aug 10, 2024 Although this was the first baki season I've ever watched, which it shouldn't have been, it got me interested enough with the world to start watching the other baki seasons and shows, including the movie... BUT, this is most definitely the worst season of any baki show, still that doesn't make it bad, mid maybe, but not bad. See more John F @RT94248122 Aug 6, 2024 I love this awesome series See more Ben F @RT79996128 Aug 2, 2024 Don't listen to the haters baki is a great series See more Dec 9, 2021 I like the Baki series, enjoyable for any MMA fan. See more Oct 21, 2021 I really enjoyed Baki part 1 & 2 (not as much as part 1). The Raitai Tournament really wasn't that good. This is just bad. It feels like they ran out of martial arts explanations of training and styles so they went with this. I can't believe that out of all the ideas that the writers must have had, this was what they went with. The character motivations are weak and the overall plot that you are told, has little to do with anything in the season. Most of the fights are drawn out in the most ridiculous ways and the description and mechanics are half baked at best. See more Read all reviews
