Speaking from total ignorance, doesn't he look a bit like Kengan Ashura? - I don't know if you've seen it but it's a fighting anime that puts a lot of comedy in it so at the end you don't know what you're watching. For example, I liked this one, so I might give this one a chance, I've heard it a lot but I haven't seen it.
Cheers!!!
Yes, I totally confirm. There is a resemblance between the two series. So much so that there will be a cross over between Baki and Kengan Ashura.
