I was very impressed with how Toshiki Hirano and his staff at TMS adapted the second Baki series (titled simply "Baki"), and I was hoping the anime would continue at least until the end of the third one ("Hanma Baki"), which is where the manga was originally supposed to end before Itagaki decided to continue it two years later with even more ludicrous opponents for the main character and his friends to face.

Hopefully the staff will remain the same, but once they get to the end of the third series, I wish they'd go back and remake the first one. The 2001 TV series was a very compromised adaptation, which toned down or removed a lot of material and had very inconsistent animation, especially in its second half, and I don't think it's streaming legally anywhere.

The Oliva V Baki prison fight is what I'm looking forward to the most.

Streamers seem to get consistent results with the insane martial arts genre. And Baki is no different, since it cracked the Netflix top 10 when it hit, something most of their anime and Western animation can’t do.
