Have you seen the Fist of Nothstar?
I saw that Baki was on Netflix. Was debating on to watch it or not. I was a fan of the art when it first came out as a Manga series.
I haven't seen it before, I could check it out. Baki is just brutal and gorey.
Fist of North Star is gore. Exploding people all over the place. However, it’s a huge classic and a need to know show. Character development is rather deep and gets you ponder about the bad guys. Some you will even like.
I gave it a shot but with the 80's animation and graphics and low quality sound I had to stop. Just to old to enjoy for me. The fighting gore was not that gory and just a few cuts unlike that splatter in Baki and poking out eyes and even cutting a guys hand of with a molecular wire, fighting with broken glass and a guy twisting a broken bottle into another guys face. Just classy fight scenes.
Yeah, the quality is low. But that along with Gundam are the 2 majors you have to watch. Galaxy Express 999 and Captain Harlock (starblazer writer) are also standards.
Too bad the quality was so bad.
As for gundam I didn't like all the girly emotions and I'm not into giant robots. Heck for older stuff I started with Akira which I'll still watch occasionally, then it was cowboy beebop, outlaw star, and kenshun. I also liked when I was new to anime Howls moving castle just for the great animation. I also liked Kekkaishi a lot, the original FLCL, and one of my older favorites was Bleach. I used to like dragon ball but it got old but now I'm watching Dragon Ball Super and it's a lot different but still get stronger get stronger more powers so that's getting old also now.
