The manga is known for having unique art, and man, Netflix did that. We don’t understand why Netflix is lowballing art quality expecting people to watch just because it’s Netflix. This art is worse than A.I.C.O. or Sword Gai, so you’re in for a treat if you want to watch. The first episode is boring as you watch criminals escape. There is ZERO explanation as to why they all go to Tokyo to fight, but somehow, everyone knows Baki–most likely due to his father. As for who this anime caters to, well if you watched the first season from like 20 years ago, you’ll love a sequel. Otherwise, if you love hyper-violent fighting anime or anime akin to say, Ashita no Joe, then this is a good watch. If you want semblance of a story at all or art that is remotely enjoyable, then skip.
