THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Didn't expect this for the ova, the manga montage was cool and an interview with the mangaka.
The rest was a preview for season 3, pretty good quality and the gore is there as well.

This ova served only to increase anxiety, the incredible thing is that everything there seems brutal so it's hard to believe that it will be that way on TV, but well, Drifters was broadcast uncensored.

The art in the OVA is incredible, faithful to the manga and the soundtrack is good, it's a shame that the series is receiving little attention in the forums, but I think if it was a harem shit would receive more, in fact, the west is not better Than Japan in that.

The fact that it was just a preview is kind frustating, but it was awesome nonetheless, The visual was amazing and the animation was good, I AM hyped as hell.

Just an average anime fan.

I definitely loved it, just wanted to see more from Oliva.
But it's just kinda weird how it has stuff from way ahead in the manga. Does that mean they're pulling a Lupin III (the 2015 one) and are getting it done before it even airs?

Wow, this totally hyped the TV series, if they keep the brutality it has the potential to be great.

Really pumped to see it's getting a season 3, the way season 2 ended left a sour taste in my mouth. But this one definitely looks great both the art and animation.

Is this just a pilot for the 2017 tv anime?

For an extended trailer this was pretty badass, I just wonder if the actual T.V series will hold the same level of intense violence or if it'll be a 12 episode censored disappointment.

Well, I saw the announcement for the new Netflix animation of Baki. Had never heard of the franchise before so decided to watch this to know what to expect. Wasn't disappointed. This 12min preview is more than enough to decide if this is something you'll enjoy or not.

The scene, where the guy busts at Baki's school was awesome. I also liked the end shot faceoff between Baki's team and the convicts.

How I wish it wasn't a trailer. And damn, the old man looked badass.

Damn this extended trailer really hypes me up to see the third season

baki fighting in school looks pretty awesome, especially considering he never told anyone except Kozue that he is a fighter

It's a sneak-peak at season 3. Wouldn't watch it if I were you, unless you wanna hype yourrself up. But season 3 is out so just go watch it. These clips might contain some light spoilers.
