They used 3d for the Doppo Jr vs Retsu fight but nowhere else which gives me hope that 3d use will be minimal and only for fights that dont matter that no one cares about. Although you could say the animation could be better in world where berserk 2016 exists you cant really complain about this. I cant wait for more

I read through it like two times before on the third run I realized that nope the scans didn't just stop in the middle of nowhere that was actually the entirety of it.

Such balls.

Good fights tho

Personal ranking of the convicts, spoilers in case people don't want to be biased watching the new anime:

Speck is the funniest, Dorian has the best fights, Doyle is the manliest, Yanagi is the boringest and Sikorsky also exists.

Also the missing volumes of the first Baki are getting translated on 4chan now. https://boards.fireden.net/_/search/subject/Grappler%20Baki%20translations/

The tournament had a bunch of really funny characters like the badass New York bouncer guy who fights in a tuxedo and the american super jumper guy who Yujiro is horny for.




Also Jack eating steroids like m&ms.

My favorite Baki moment is probably Doppo's reaction to losing his hand in that arc so I'm excited.

I really liked Hanayama getting punched so hard with his mouth full of bullets that all the bullets exploded

New episode was kinda blah with half of it devoted to Baki doing track and field, but hey the intro now has actual animation in it now and it looks pretty nice

It's airing on tv in japan and then available on netflix when it's done. There are fansubs as new episodes come out but they're engrish as gently caress so if you dont already know this arc it might be hard to follow.

I'm so glad the anime went with this arc, the Musashi stuff was just terrible. I really liked the part where Baki is loving around with the young punks in episode 2 I think.

I used to do the translation for Spinyback during the early part of the Musashi arc, and translating old Japanese euphemisms and poo poo was a giant pain. And Baki in general uses over the top language that sounds ludicrous in general. But the convict arc isn't so tough you shouldn't be able to push out some non poo poo engrish subtitles relatively quickly.

Thanks for the info I'll probably just wait then, I've stopped using fansubs to be honest.

Looking forward to watching this in all its gory glory

I'm shilling Baki to a few friends who really like Kengan Ashura but bounced off Baki's art and I hope it being in motion will do it for them and get em hooked! Did the anime get to the Hanayama vs Speck fight yet?

i'm reading through baki thanks to Jose's rec

i'm extremely sad that the first manga wasn't finished just as it got to the good stuff but now i'm on the third manga i think and holy poo poo the Pickle arc is one of the best things I've ever read

the issue where they all turn up to see pickle and orochi breaks out of the dinosaur and then yujiro faceplants his way into the enclosure was probably the funniest poo poo I've ever read in a manga

pickle rules and is terrifying

e: got really excited to see people talking about an anime, then immediately was devastated to see the words "3d"
its kingdom all over again

How has this gotten a new anime that's been picked up in the West but no Official translation for the latest manga?

It's over a hundred volumes long and doesn't have a thunderous amount of buzz. That might change if the show picks up steam on Netflix, but you don't see that kind of commitment from manga publishers without a bit of extra incentive.

unless those crazies who licensed kaiji put it out i dunno
