It's Grappler Baki: The Ultimate Fighter for our first ever "Freestyle Episode"! Same Shmanime hi-jinks except we prepared less! We watched this short OVA immediately before hopping into the studio to get into it. All the head kicks, nerve rips, and action packed fights were as fresh in our minds as they could be. We laughed a lot and made some very obvious and not so obvious comparisons to other beloved stories from our pasts (It's Initial D meets Cool Runnings).

 SPOILER ALERT!!!
 Save this episode for later if you want to experience this show without a high-energy, often heated, very thorough discourse on it's high and low points. We cover each Anime from top to bottom, leaving no stone unturned. 

 Later Shweebs!
 -Mikey, Jay, and Jordy
