Baggy English Sub & Dub

About Baggy

If you are hunting for a new action series, Baggy (Daishizen no Majuu: Bagi) deserves a look (1984). The setup goes like this. At its core: Ryo is sent out by the people of a village to kill the monster which has been attacking the villagers. It is rumored that this monster is a cat-woman named Bagi.

From there, as Ryo waits for the monster to come to its watering hole, he thinks back to how he first met Bagi as a kitten who learned how to write, and later reenters his life on a quest to discover who and what she really is. Now she has gone wild, and as the time of her arrival approaches, he strengthens his resolve to kill her.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by unknown, so the studio's house style defines how Baggy looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.3/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 1984, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
