Netflix announced on Friday that the second half of the new anime of Keisuke Itagaki's Baki (New Grappler Baki: In Search of Our
Strongest Hero) manga will debut outside of Japan on March 18.
Netflix premiered the anime on June 25 inside Japan, and it
ran for 26 episodes ending on December 17. Netflix posted the
first 13 episodes outside of Japan on December 18.
Netflix describes the story:
The
protagonist, Baki Hanma, trains with an intense focus to become strong enough
to surpass his father, Yujiro Hanma, the strongest fighter in the world. Five
of the world's most violent and brutal death row inmates are gathering to face
Baki. Their objective is to taste defeat -- their unmatched strength and skill
have led them to grow bored of life itself, and they now seek out Baki in the
hopes that he can overwhelm and utterly crush them. In this crisis, other
underground martial art warriors gather to fight by Baki's side: Kaoru
Hanayama, Gouki Shibukawa, Retsu Kaioh, and Doppo Orochi. An epic showdown
between violent death row inmates and Baki and his friends begins!
Toshiki Hirano (Rayearth, Dangaioh, Magic Kaito: Kid the Phantom Thief) is directing the anime
at TMS Entertainment (Lupin III, ReLIFE). Fujio Suzuki (Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo, 009-1, New Getter Robo) is designing the
characters. Tatsuhiko Urahata (DNA², Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, Tsuredure Children) is in charge of series
composition.
