I. Financial Standings
The first four Baki series has over 75 million copies in circulation. That’s not an ordinary achievement for a manga series. It’s incredibly popular among shonen fans. Even the spin-off series Baki: Gaiden Scarface has sold more than 3.5 million copies in print.
II. Animation Quality
There are mixed reviews regarding this aspect of the show. It seems like the culmination of 2D and CGI nowadays is the upcoming fashion in the anime industry.
Furthermore, instilling both 2D and 3D fights isn’t a smart choice, although one can’t deny that there is an improvement from the reboots of the same show.
III. About Keisuke Itagaki’s Health
Prior to becoming a manga artist, Itagaki has also served Japan Ground Self-Defence Force for five years. He has also competed in Boxing in the National Sports Festival.
Currently, he is 63 and is all fit and fine. He even works out till this date. There’s nothing to worry about his health (he’s the Baki of this world!).
