Trailer Synopsis Cast

His name is Baki Hanma. No one knows where he came from or where he learned his unique fighting style. When it comes to Karate, Baki Hanma is just plain GOOD. He can defeat an opponent with a single blow and he's taking the Karate Championship by storm. In a prestigious match, he defeats competitor after competitor even though he's totally unknown and barely even ranked. But now he's in for the fight of his life and he may have just met his match. Anything goes and his opponent can rip his nerves out -- literally. If he wins, he's the BEST. If he loses... he's DEAD.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Grappler Baki is a great short anime film about a man named Baki Hanma who goes up against various opponents and even defeat a man who beats his enemy's by pulling out their Jugular veins. I really enjoyed it. The art is really well done for 1994 and the voice acting is good too.It is based on a forty two volume manga series by Keisuke Itagaki which I have never read, and there is also a TV series called Baki the Grappler that is licensed by FUNimation.Be sure to see this if you can, that is, if you like martial arts and lots of action with blood. I give Grappler Baki: The Ultimate Fighter a 7/10

This movie is about fighting. I can tell you that without spoiling anything, this movie mainly consists of 2 two fights in an arena. And guess what? In 45min minutes that is quite a good entertainment. The first fight is OK and has some surprises and the second one gets weird with strange techniques and stuff. The animation itself was well done. 45min is a short time for a story to develop so there isn't really much going on besides fighting. What bothered me was a bit the slight homo-erotic components and transgender looks of the second fighter, that made this anime kinda weird. But still it's enjoyable, if you're in the mood for a not so long anime and you like fighting-sports you can watch this.
