Editorial Reviews

His name is Baki Hanma. No one knows where he came from or where he learned his unique fighting style. He can defeat an opponent with a single blow and he's taking the Karate Championship by storm. But now he's in for the fight of his life. Anything goes and his opponent can rip his nerves out — literally. If he wins, he's the BEST. If he loses... he's DEAD.

3.0 out of 5 stars The ULTIMATE fighter? Just maybe..., December 13, 2000

This review is from: Grappler Baki [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Once in a while, I like to kick back and watch an anime that's got nothing but lots of good old dirt-under-the-nails FIGHTIN'. You can't go wrong with a title like "Grappler Baki: The ULTIMATE FIGHTER", can you? So I gave it a rent and checked it out. And you know what? I was pretty impressed. There's a lot to enjoy in this flick, most of which is the fighting itself. The fight scenes were well done; not on par with, say, the choreographed genius of "Street Fighter: the Animated Movie", but they hold their own. A lot of the moves hurt just to look at (like when a shoulder gets separated and they show you an inside-the-body shot of the bones coming apart) and the animation is pretty decent as well. There's not much story here; just a guy named Baki who wants to be the best fighter in the land and the people he goes through to get there. The final battle, though, between Baki and the "Cord Cutter" (speaking of painful techniques, ever have someone pull on your NERVES?) is a sight to behold. All in all, a decent fight flick that will keep you entertained for almost an hour. The only real problems I saw were the crowd shots (completely still and noiseless; I guess they were completely mesmerized by the fight) and the dubbing. It wasn't bad, but I've heard a LOT better. But hey, if you like the fightin' stuff, you'll enjoy it. Great action and a minimum of sentiment. It's a good combination.

5.0 out of 5 stars no holes barred, rock sockem action in a nutshell of an hour, October 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Grappler Baki (DVD)

if you like your anime with non-stop fighting action with one fight better thean the next,check this one out pronto!! grappler baki is a high school kid who obviously spends most of his time fighting because he can take out fighters twice his age.baki skillfully defeats his foes with dramatic style only to face a fighter with an unusual technique that "cuts like a knife".the only drawback is it`s short length which leaves you looking for a sequel.chek it out!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars it's short but cool, May 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Grappler Baki [VHS] (VHS Tape)

With Street Fighter 2 style of fughting Grapler Baki is 45mins of jammed packed action. it's not long but it has so monay cool things in it you'll keep wathching it. With intresting characters and slap stick humor Grapler Baki is a must see.
