Yeah defintely older Ken is a way more brutal badass than when he was younger which is like an impossible thing to do but yeah somehow Kenshiro made it happen lol.
Just bits and pieces; this one is a brand new story, it takes place after the events of the original series, and Kenshiro is now in his 40's, but even more powerful than before. How the hell is that possible? Fictional martial arts dealing with "chi" generally mean, said martial artists in fact get more dangerous with age, they don't decline, hence why the older Kenshiro is in fact more dangerous than the younger version.
Fist of the northstar doesn't seem as kid friendly as DZB ever was (even though parts of DBZ are anything but kid friendly) still Animes/mangas and media in general that manages to ride that median between entertaining and non-offensive they tend to be very successful.
With a smidge of editing DBZ was approrpiate for all audiences and yet still remained attractive to more mature audiences
To be fair, the Viz volumes took forever to come out, considering they published the manga as a monthly comic book before releasing the graphic novel compilations, so its unsurprising that they only got to the Jagi arc before people lose interest (which wasn't even a second year arc when it was originally published in Japan).
The colorized edition from Raijin Comics came out at a faster rate, but I don't think the high prices per book ($20) attracted many readers who weren't already a convert.
New Fist of the North star may have been lacking in the plot department but it was the first time I saw the tone Fist of the North Star manga Faithfully & unflinchingly depicted. Therefore it has earn a fond place in my heart. I have all 3 ep on one DVD Bought it off of Blockbuster.
first of all this isnt death metal. dragonforce is more fantasy metal. very soft compaired to something like slayer. both bands formentioned are amazing though as is FOTNS
First off i wasnt Talking about Dragonforce they are speed metal I was talking about Dethklok they are deathmetal i was replying to 9sunskungfu we were discussing Dethklok
Hey faggot,i dont want to know what you do in your spare time...which is obviously when you;re not typing or talking,stop tryin to tell me about it,im not interested. little fag lol :D
cool, i just started watchign the old fists of the north star i got of my friend for free im on the 3rd disc of 6, i think its the whole series..this movie looks awsoem, just shwos how good the classic manga can be when it is re=animated !!!
I seriously would like to see The original series redone as a straight manga Adaptation. Uncensored and no filler. I mean as a real series like they did Guyver not as an OVA Movie series.
Does anyone have a clue when this is going to be translated for American viewing, I'm a big fan of the original series and am looking for some info! Great vid.
@pwntor dont get the New FotNS, they are shit and dont follow the story. Get the subtitled versions of Raoh den and the next 3 ovas, they follow the Souther arc, Yuria, Toki arc, and then Raoh final battle, and the animation + music is 10x better than this. This was just crap trying to cash in on the franchise.
this is a kool video and the song fits the watered down blood and guts in this to me it just doesnt seem to match the brutality of the anime film of the same name it just doesnt give off the same feel of post apocalyptic war and suffering and sorrow and despair this one is all pritty drawings and colours like dragonball z and to me seems a bit micky mousey
Kenshiro got those holes in his chest from his former friend Shin because he wanted Kenshiro's love Julia for himself. He was going to kill him, but he instead gave him the scars to remind him who is strong and who is weak.
Its an anime based on martial art styles that instantly kill. In many of the attacks a person would suffer internal bleeding that brings on trauma and death. In this anime the same concept is used but to emphasis the lethality of the attacks instead of having people fall over relatively unharmed like in real life, their heads explode. Also it might have to do with excessive radiation fallout from the nuclear war, you everyone mutants to have explosive brains and no skulls.
If I remember right, but it has been awhile since i've seen it, the science they used in the anime was it supposed to block off some blood vessels and the blood continues to flow and gather in a single area until pop.
@WardSennes Well you know how in Dragonball, Naruto, and other manga people are shooting fireballs and other crazy shit at eachother, well these guys leave it inside your body when they make physical contact with you, with explosive results.
That's... not entirely correct. Hokuto Shinken is a martial art that is loosely based upon the concepts of Dim Mak in real martial arts.
Dim Mak in martial arts is the concept that one can kill his foe with less than lethal force. Usually Dim Mak would entail hitting a foe in a specific pressure point on their body that will eventually cause their death.
This death could happen years down the road though, which is why it's so hard to prove whether Dim Mak actually works or not.
Hokuto Shinken however, seems to have... Well sped up the process to take seconds rather than months or years. The creators of Hokuto no ken seem to have just wanted to do this in a more dramatic, violent way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
People's heads exploding just because someone looked at them is gay!!.......Thats why their heads explode after the effects of Kenshiro's fist you big dummy. Now I see why Eminem wrote "White America"
yo moron if u ever wayched hokuto no ken than ull understand wats the reason, its closer to some amrtial arts than any bullshit that is produced these days
This was hella cool. I actually put this up onto my facebook. Thanks for making this, your fist is strong.
