Far and away the funniest anime I’ve ever seen. Just awful, hysterical garbage, and the author makes sure you understand just how low they can stoop. One of Baki’s earliest training arcs involves penetrating a heavily fortified country and subduing a superhuman genius land-swimming war criminal freedom fighter.
SA warning: one of the main villains, and father of the protagonist, canonically travels around the world raping men and women and pointedly states that if they are aroused by someone, they must be a woman. The same character’s father fought the entire US military and won.
This is an utterly irredeemable mound of slop, and I can’t help but watch it. Its pseudoscience and post facto justifications are captivating
I still can’t get over how homoerotic it is. You’ll always get layers of that in anything that centres on hyper-masculine sports or fiction, but Baki is so heavy with it I can’t tell if it’s intentional as some kind of commentary or if the author is just a severely repressed gay guy.
hmm, I’ve heard of Beastars, but what’s this Sanda?
The story takes place in the future, where the birth rate in Japan has been rapidly declining. The main character, Kazushige Sanda, is found to be the descendant of Santa Claus by his classmate, Shiori Fuyumura. Together, they attempt to find Fuyumura’s missing classmate, Ono Ichie.

I mean, if his daughter (Paru Itagaki), the author of Beastars and Sanda is any indicator, dude is just goofy like that.

Ohno Itchy sounds like it might explain the declining birthrate
