This show was really disappointing, just barely made it through the 13 episodes that were available on Netflix because I was hoping it would get better at some point, but it never did.
The voice acting (at least in the english dub) makes it difficult to tell the difference between the expositional storyteller, the thoughts of the characters, and the actual spoken lines. Especially noticable when one character says something off-screen, followed by another off-screen characters thoughts.
The story is all over the place, jumping from following the main character to following some random character we're seeing for the first time with no obvious connection to the main character, from brutal fight scenes, to the main character not knowing how to talk, to board meetings.
The characters are _weird_, the main character apparently doesn't know how to run or jump, even if he supposedly is 17 and is an experienced martial artist, the police chief thinks a board meeting is best held by shouting at everyone he disagrees with, repeatedly, and everyone is apparently immortal and will magically heal from any injury.
On top of it all the animation and fight coreography is bad, we never see the actual moves, and it is never clear when any character actually lands a blow of significance.

@thorbears apparently this dude doesn't know this anime is the 3rd one in the series, all the character besides the inmates you get to now in the 1st episode had already appeared in the show, even the minor character the inmates stomps while making their way to baki<br /> <br /> but he is right about one thing, this is not a kung fu anime, the fights are messy with low choreography since the focus are grapplers and brawlers

@samalakyan I did indeed not know that there were any previous shows when I wrote that comment. Perhaps you get a more positive experience if you have seen the previous shows. Unfortunately Netflix doesn't advertise that there are previous shows, and those shows are not available on Netflix in my region.<br /> <br /> Regardless, this isn't a show for me, so I won't be checking the other Baki stuff.
