Sentai announced today that it acquired BAKI (グラップラー刃牙, Gurappurā Baki), the brutal martial arts anime series, for release in a home video complete collection. Sentai’s release will feature the original Japanese with English subtitles together with an all-new English dub.
Five vicious convicts escape death row. They make their way to Tokyo intent on committing violent blood sport. Now they’re after Baki Hanma. With the onslaught looming, Baki must enlist Kaoru Hanayama, Doppo Orochi, Sea King Retsu and Goki Shibukawa, each with his own unique combat ability, if Baki wants to live to brawl another day.
From the mind of the series’ original creator, Keisuke Itagaki, BAKI adapts the “Most Evil Death Row Convicts Saga” of the second manga series. BAKI is produced by TMS Entertainment (GUGURE! KOKKURI-SAN, MEGALOBOX , LUPIN THE 3rd) and directed by Toshiki Hirano (VAMPIRE PRINCESS MIYU, MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH, MAGIC KAITO).
