Baki Hanma

Great animation and awesome fight scenes. I love the style, and how the narrator will take you aside, going into detailed explanations of technique and style using all types of comparisons and analogies. The first half of season 2 is interesting, but ultimately ruins the whole series. The second half of season 2 is straight cheeks. The Ogre and Baki showdown is the worst of all the confrontations in the series, and is precluded by filler episodes where Baki and Ogre both engage in the most uncharacteristic behavior per everything we know about them. The finale will leave you extremely disappointed.
