If you’re familiar with the Baki series, then you already know about its ‘no holds barred’ style. This season, it takes this to another level, handling intense and sometimes even disturbing themes with a grounded realism that hits hard. This is not an anime for the faint of heart or the easily affected, but for those who like their anime raw and uncompromising, this will be right up your alley.
