Convicts Arc is my least favorite, but whatever.

I wouldn't have a problem with them redoing the Maximum Tournament with a real budget. The anime mostly looks rather bad

They're not that bad.

>>160628629

I wish I could get excited for that, but Musashi is basically making a point to get rekt by every single character. Makes all the KOs against him kinda meaningless. Baki himself KO'd him with a jab when he was fucking around

Even Hanayama got many hits in, with his slow-ass punches that have no business ever landing on anyone stronger than Gaia. I mean, Yujiro and Baki are already at "move faster than sound" levels

I don't even know where the hell this arc is trying to go.

>>160627976
How are they gonna deal with those ugly arts?

>>160628843
Yujiro VS Musashi. You didn't suspect anything from their fight being the only one that got interrupted before it could get serious? Even Musashi VS Baki concluded (and they got Baki out of the way like he was Doppo or any other of the secondaries, they're very clearly gonna focus on Musashi as a foe for Yujiro this arc).

Either Musashi wins and Yujiro goes into training and levels up into even more ridiculous levels OR

Yujiro wins having to actually go all-out for the first time. Yujiro VS Baki at the end of the previous series felt like Yujiro held back, even if it's true that at that time, Baki was second only to him in strength

>>160628995
yujiro dying is baki finale, so musashi will kill yujiro and then baki defeats him

Is this separate from the Convict thing that was announced months (years?) ago? Or is this what that turned into?

>>160630511
Fuck off.

>>160631492
It didn't "turn into" anything; this is exactly what the Convict arc adaptation is. I guess that they were just working out the details in secret for however long.

>>160630511
It was confirmed to get one a few years ago due to a poll voting it so, but we've gotten no news since

REALLY!?

>>160634106
Castlevania was successful with the format

Expect independent (or even studio one-offs) animation to debut on Netflix often from now on. All it took was the precedent

the art in this series is so bizarre

the convict arc is the best part of Baki

>speck vs hanayama
>donovan or whoever that fucking weird, singing, trucker guy is
>fighting with fists covered in broken glass and set on fire

no other part can compete

The convicts are possibly the most forgettable antagonists from all of Baki. The only memorable one was Dorian Kaioh

>>160634247
We get it, you're shitposting with your shit taste. Please go away now, you're interrupting people with actual taste (everyone else)

>>160634231
>>160634370

Chinese tournament is the GOAT Baki "part" (it's actually a sequence of chapters within the same series but eh)

We NEED Yujiro VS Kaku Kaioh animated. Fuck the convicts, they're all mostly jobbers

>>160627976
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

>>160634393
I agree that the Chinese Tournament is the best part, but I don't think that the Convicts are *too* bad. Besides, think about it like this: if this sells well, it's entirely possible that they might adapt later arcs.


On another note: I've just noticed that the OP posted totally no information on the adaptation itself. So, beyond 'lolnetflix', here's what we know:
There will be 26 episodes.
Each episode will be a full 30 minutes - that's *not* counting commercials or whatever.
It is being produced by TMS Entertainment.

>>160634393
The only two from the Chinese team I can remember are Retsu and Kaku. I have much more fond memories of the Convicts. Chinese tournament is almost Ali Jr tier.

>>160635248
>Chinese tournament is almost Ali Jr tier.

Worth it if nothing else for Yujiro and Oliva broing it up in the Japan Team backstage

>>160635248
You don't remember Jyaku? Or hand-pocket guy?

Is 26 episodes enough to adapt ~160 manga chapters?

Also, I wonder what they would have to change. Not only does the main character stop fighting like 3/4 through the arc, then the rest of the convicts are finished by old characters returning out of nowhere that hadn't even been there through this series. Both things would make for a really shitty conclusion.

>>160635390
Perhaps they'll end it with a lead-in to the Chinese Tournament, with a "To Be Continued...?"
That way, they can totally justify the cliffhanger ending of Baki being on the brink of death.

>"Baki" could be an intense watch for fans of mixed martial arts. Baki is a fighter in training to be the best in the world. The anime, which is based on a manga, will see him take on death row inmates with his friends in what Netflix calls "The Ultimate Fighting Legend." It will have 26 episodes.

I added confirmation that it will be the Convicts arc, assuming the guy isn't talking out his ass. I thought that's what you were implying we didn't know.

>>160628512
If it was good then its good now, the show didn't change.

This show isnt though, I watched it a few years ago and was pretty boring. The turning point was a fight where he kicks his opponent in the balls TWICE. Never looked back on this franchise, but its surprising that they're adapting the continuation after this long instead of just making it from scrap. If only Otokojuku got this treatment.

>>160635884
Oh, no. It is the Convicts arc, without a doubt. ...That was kind of the point of the OAD.

>>160635374
I vaguely remember it being completely onesided except for Retsu versus the guy who only ever showed up in that arc, Japanese Kaioh iirc.

No. If they say it's slated for 2018, they're not going to push it up. You know how horrible Jap animators have it already, after all.

I've literally never heard of an anime's release date being pushed *up*, now that I think about it.

>>160636468
Knowing how business is generally conducted, it would be virtually impossible for the anime to start in 2017. If it were to start in 2017, it could only start in the Fall season, which would be extraordinarily bizarre (and unprecedented) given that even just its means of distribution was only announced today. The Fall anime season starts in about a month.

I'd love it as much as you would were it to happen, but it really can't.

if I remember right, its in the prologue chapters

I actually kind like that if he says that this manga is not entirely canon so he go to the extreme and introduce a couple demihumans or monsters.

Could be good but since it's netflix I hope it fails.

>>160639714
why? this isnt a reboot, they're picking an arc thats kind of middle int he series so you would need to followed the series in the beginning before that.I mean who watches something new but the beginning of it? and the normies probably won't watch the old because of it being "old"

>>160639912
The original series isn't actually that important. All you need to know is Baki is a strong kid, Yujiro's his mean scary dad, and there's a bunch of dangerous motherfuckers who fight in an underground arena every now and then. Everything else is easily inferred by context in the series. Even stuff like Jack being Baki's brother isn't even mentioned until the third series (and then only briefly).

>>160640262
Still though, if you don't know the characters the ending is "and then these guys we never saw before and weren't even in the game came and beat the remaining prisoners".

>>160637542
>sci-fi

Not really no. Baki is one of those old as fuck mangas thats evolved a very unique art style and gained a cult following of readers.

Much like Jojo, but for many years nobody was bothered to scan Baki for the wider internet to enjoy.

>>160640496
and also the fact that theres no official english print for the series.

>>160640262
>Even stuff like Jack being Baki's brother isn't even mentioned until the third series
yeah one fo the things they change completely in the anime right? they droppings hints like yujiro drops bodies.

>>160640667

I mean it's a big deal in the first series, but it doesn't come up in New Grappler Baki at all. And IIRC in the third series it's only mentioned in a throwaway line when Baki's sad that Jack got to fight Pickle before him.

Prediction: Baki gives in to the Hanma fighting autism and starts killing fighters to get stronger, starting with Yujiro and Musashi (at the same time). In the end, there is only one man left standing to put him in his place once and for all.

>>160645400
>the second is missing some stiff
Not that I know of. It was done by a shitty scanlation group, but all the chapters are "translated".

Can it be done properly in 26 episodes? That's 6 manga chapters per episode.

>>160647468

The episodes will be longer. Each episode will be 30 mins, with ad breaks not included. So, an extra 7-8 mins per episode compared with traditional TV broadcasts. That's probably enough to squeeze it in.
