Fun fact: The main character is based on my Sensei and RIZIN FF Lightweight champion Roberto Satoshi. We train in Shizuoka. Netflix came to film here. Really cool.

Glad to see this uprising in Martial arts anime and manga lately.

Fun Fact: Yujiro Hanma is a Playable Character in Garouden Breakblow for the Play-Station 2

Tiger King is a straight up Tekken move.

It’s biggest problem is it feels like 2 seasons in one it rushes to get to the fights but also rushes those but the themes are really for martial arts anime

Itagakis garouden is peak, would love matsuo to show up in the underground arena!

Haha, i messed up the timeline a little when comparing when itagaki started baki and when he did the art for the garouden

But does it dissect the irl mechanics and philosophies of different fighting styles you see in real MMA?

It's interesting that they went with Fujimaki as the main. I guess that made it so there was a clear story, but we missed out on meeting so many cool characters that you only heard the names of like the Great Tatsumi.

from humble beginnings to batshit insane fights 😅

Finally you make a video about it.. we absolutely eating. This was a great watch

My man Mr Weeb. I am GLAD that the channel came back. All the best for the future. Your vids i always keep in the notification for any update. I have a request for you. If possible, get the PS2 emulator named Aethersx2 on your device (preferably Android) and try the two Garouden Breakblow games , or just try the sequel Garouden Breakblow - Fist Or Twist. It was those two games which introduced me to Garouden, and hence deepened by love for martial arts/fighting fiction even more. It's a fighting fan/Weeb like you and me's closest dream game come true. The game is easy to pickup, has enough fan service for the diehards of the manga and also has a secret character from Baki. THE character from Baki , himself 😂. It doesn't have a learning or execution curve like Tekken, Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat and still imo it beats all of those when it comes to how grounded and arcade-style the thing is, plus how source material faithful they went about the roster, character models and attitudes. From one fan to another, I'd love for you to at least be aware of what I know. The Garouden Breakblow Duology is what any Japanese developer should be inspired by and need-to-heed if the thought of developing a Baki, Kengan, Tough or any other fighting manga game adaptation is planned off. 👍🏽

the garouden movie is based on the novels after tanba is beaten by kajiwara he goes to train with a sambo master and fights a lai kenpo yakuza enforcer the novel is called blue wolf fist and acts as an explanation to where and what tanba was doing after his defeat from kajiwara.

Another good addition to the fight genre

thanks im gona watch this i love martial arts and we need more of it

The author might have wanted different designs to the baki series so it can stand on its own feet as a series instead of being carried by a baki connection.

The manga art is very close to the 2nd or 1st Baki manga series

Another great fighting anime/manga right now is Windbreaker.

It's fight animation is probably one of the best I've seen in a martial arts anime

I hated the ending, but I hope it changes and him and the love of his life get back together and get married, sir.

It was good, enjoyed it.

The main character reminded me of Dexter. I enjoyed it. Would love to see another series.

"More human" Tanba shakes a building just at the start of the manga XD Garouden characters are linda in the same tier as Kengan and Maximum Tournament in Baki

Yujiro being a guest character in the PS2 game was fucking awesome

Legitimately good anime. The fights are AMAZING, and the story is heartbreaking.

I love the Baki artstyle, I really want more animes with that artstyle

Very awesome anime. I loved the story , i would like to see more seasons

First thing that popped in my head was Islam Makhachev when I saw the thumbnail. As a combat sports fan, I'll have to check this one out.

The manga is so good!! Haven’t seen any Baki cameos yet

I am gonna watch it 💪

as a muay thai/kickboxing practioner and a judoka, any martial arts anime makes me salivate. No matter how outrageous the lore or stupid the anime may possibly be, Im all in lmao.

Mysterious weeb itagaki started baki before garouden i.e baki(1990) while garouden(1998)

Btw, why is the channel's name still showing to me as MicroStrategy? I hope your true name comes back again 👌🏽

Do u think we will get multiple seasons of Garouden like baki and kengan ???

Overall I enjoyed it. Pace was lightning fast though. Blew through 3 tournaments in 8 episodes. Should have been 3 seasons

I’ve never read the manga but I quit liked the anime, I like the fact that the fight scene are more realistic than Kengan or Baki. Some people get their kicks in from bombastic show where the protag overwhelms the opponent, but this is where I get my kicks, the real it is the more brutal it gets and that gets me.

It’s cool how baki can also use tiger king

Have you ever read the manga Tough. I thought it was pretty good.

I just hate they did not showed the fight between johey and tanba

I immediately drop the anime after seeing the character design of Tanba and Jyuhei

Bro First Got NTR then Lose and is Now in Prison and in his 30s in Still a Vergin B***h hard to believe they Both exist in same verse but its True😂😂

The problem is that the anime focuses on a side character because tanba is the mc in the novels and manga not juzo also some fights were skipped and I just wasn't a fan of reliance of rotoscoping also the main story of "I can't release my inner alpha" was lame after a bit lol plus a lot of the characters felt shallow too

Fun fact: The reason the CGI is there is because they did mocap with real kickboxers and MMA fighters

Garouden is peak fighting manga i swear, shame it didn't end

I'm sorry My culture consider eye's as very important I can not see yours

Similar style however not really connected plus the series already ended with no other season yet.

but it’s rated pretty low on MAL??

I think juzo in the anime was a pretty chill and fun character compared to juzo in the manga he was a menace, this man literally stalked himekawa every time. He was mean and a walking black Air Force member

The battles were commendable, but without substance and a compelling narrative, everything else becomes inconsequential if there is no proper buildup. Pretty much it was boring

Not sure what yall were watching because that anime wasn't good in my opinion. When you compare it to Baki, and Kengan, it doesn't come close. Fights were below average, and animation was meh.

Name of the anime and where to watch it ?

Pffffffff. Have you heard of oni chin chin?

So does he get the girl? I was kinda annoyed by the ending.

Meh, not that it’s bad, the manga was moving in all the right ways, I’d hail it over Baki if it didn’t get so sexual, I quit halfway in 🤮 Mangadex should categorize it as erotica in my opinion Edit: Okay, sitting down an watching the Anime convinced me to start reading again. The Ending of the Anime had me in tears, and while the fights looked weird, having all the context made them feel better!

Liked the show, hated the ending tho. Didn't even watch the final 5 minutes

If this is anything like Itagaki's Garouden, it may just be unwatchable for me. It's a series I really wanted to like, but it was quite the letdown for me. If the plot was razor-thin in Baki, it's basically non-existent in Garouden, with fights occurring for no particular reason even in the pants-on-head retarded context of the world it takes place in. Also, not for nothing, but seeing stand-ins for true great fighters like Igor Vovchanchyn get made to look like absolute chumps to wank the same two guys so Itagaki can have his Mas Oyama and Antonio Inoki stand-ins always look invincible is really annoying. Guys get built up just to get jobbed out like chumps, and always to make the most uninteresting, predictable ones look strong. My biggest problem with Itagaki's approach to writing fights is how almost all of them are full of no-selling and anticlimactic, one-sided finishes. Competitive fights are fun, not a ceaseless parade of "guy stands there looking smug and takes out his opponent in one move" fights.

I prefer the anime art style

Animation was horrendous

This anime was complete ass… just watch Kengan Ashura instead
