I ended up enjoying my time watching this show, I mean I liked the fights and the overall animation (when they tried to use 3d models...horrendous. please never again) but overall...it feels like such a mess.

Most of the time the dialogues or the characters developments/actions felt completely nonsensical, and left me questioning wtf was happening.

Sometimes a character gets pumped up like unbeatable, perfect, unmatched, then he gets his ass cheeks clapped by an absolute random character (that you actually never seen sometimes), then they fight someone else and they are once again deities of fighting. Like, you either are the most powerful being on earth in this series or you are fighting against the most powerful being on earth.

But this isn't really that much of a problem cause it's something that you see often in anime, the thing I really disliked the most is that

The series is called "Baki", there is a character called "Baki", everybody pumps him up like he is the most absurd human being to ever grace this world, he is the son of "the strongest being in the world" (which makes it weird because he is often called "the strongest human in the world" and it feels like a contradiction) BUT.....you barely see him, when he is actually shown he either does nothing, says something that most of the time is nonsensical, or loses in some way. I swear I have seen the whole series and I think if I had to count all the times Baki fought two hands would be more than enough to keep count. This dude's does NOTHING and gets literally ALL the praise. And finally when he actually DOES fight and he DOES win...it's always in like...2 punches? I get it "ohhh 2 punches and he already won he is so strong", dude just develop this goddam character!!! At some point this other dude, mohammad ali Jr. comes in and he gets MULTIPLE episodes of him fighting, developing his character, his story, EVERYTHING. And you don't see Baki ONCE. Like seriously, who is the main character anymore ???? Mohammad Ali Jr. seriously got more characterization in like 3 episodes than Baki got in the WHOLE series.

All in all, as I said, i liked the series, but for the fights and animation... certainly not for the plot that feels really clunky, messy and disconnected
