this was on sinimax pax and the anime chanel back in 2003-4-5 they only had the 39 english dubs then they stopped. the most bad ass anime i had ever seen. kenshiro is the most unstopable walking force. when he meets the south star guy then it starts to get really insane.
The English accent of the narrator in this intro is fantastic. His voice reinforces the deeper biblical aspects that made this series such a classic. Very poetic and dark. And that very simple ever-present back beat that plays in the background as he talks adds a very ominous apocalyptic element to this intro as well. This is a very cool intro. This is such a thought provoking anime. One of my all time favorites. It's like the Star Wars of martial arts tales. Just perfect.
@XINKAI I know your comments old but who would even watch anime shown on television. Unless they speak Japanese and like in Japan ^_^ everywhere else pretty much has stupid censors and annoying cuts ^_^.
Doesn't really matter anyway if there's water or not. It's a romanticized image of a post-nuclear world.
Obviously the destroyed world was invented just to clear the battlefield for these maniacs and to basically set a new world order to ease the work of the creators.
are you saying chuck norris inspired it? because thats bull shit. bruce lee inspired it and if you meant chuck inspired it you really need to stop kissing the ground he walks on and stop worshiping him like a god.
what are u talking about you were the first one to bring up chuck (hehe) you replied to a comment about the road warrior with a rant about chuck norris, fuckhead
dude go to the damn comments section. no one in our comment bracket said anything about chuck before you. now im not gonna call u any more names cuz u seem to honestly believe what your saying so maybe youtube made a mistake but u should really check
because im quite sure im right but unlike u im willing to make sure that ur wrong instead of just assuming it and ruling out all other possibilities like a jackass
dude wtf is ur problem are u not reading my comments yet still replying to them or something cuz already told u:i dont see where he said anything about chuck within this comment bracket so instead of chalking it up to u being an idiot im blaming youtube and saying we were both right which i think is pretty fair
dude you still are not even looking at the comments section and not understanding that i did not bring him up first. cyberdemon107 did not just say it inspired hokuto no ken he said something else about chuck. if all you desire to see is my comments then dont reply because you refuse to look at all of cyberdemon107 comments.
this is exactly why im saying maybe youtube glitched because cyberdemon said "it inspired hokuto no ken.....of course its similar" yet u seem to really think he mentioned chuck so maybe youtube deleted a comment about chuck and both of us r right or it didnt and im right
Oh i hope you understand but like i always say there someone better around the block ...but this has alot to do with all fighting games and much more .....Blessings to all
REmember BROS come Before hoz
so contiune to mash BROTHERS the sistas wont care.
You mean Manga. Streamline only dubbed the movie. Anyway, I don't think the whole half-brother thing was a translation liberty. I believe it was actually something the anime writers made up before the manga introduced Ken's four brothers. I'll probably need to check the raws/subs again to see if they mention it.
That's plausible, though that wouldn't explain why they show Raoh as Shin in the video above. Yup, when I first saw this vid (and I saw this vid before watching HnK/FotNS), I was wondering why SHin constantly looked different. But then, I didn't know whow as Raoh.
Hokuyo no Ken differs in terms from violence in the anime and manga. The anime is edited because, well because they think exploding flesh and blood is a bit too much. But still it is a great series and one of my favs.
word I loved this show... Why doesn't it play any more. Maybe tooo much violence and gore. He waz blowing peps up and stuff... Fuckin awesome. Im gonna go look for it.
This is one of my favorite cartoons, but it's not a cartton fit for a small children to watch at 5 in the evening. They use to air this violent cartoon with red blood on it first, can you believe it!? Japanese PTOs revolted of course. I guess my mother was right not allowing me to watch this show, even after the blood was whited out. lol. Now as adult, I love this comic very much.
This is a promo clip for Manga Video's dub of the series (you can tell by the drum and bass soundtrack). Unfortunately, Manga Video didn't handle the series very well and it shows by this completely misleading clip. They essentially talk about the premise of Season 1 (the Shin/Bloody Cross arc), but most of the clips they show are from the early Season 2 episodes (i.e: talking about Shin while showing clips of Jagi and Amiba).
Thanks for putting this up. I live in italy and I was born in 1983, and every boy of my generation in this country grew up watching this series, I mean EVERY BOY, this reminds me a lot of things. Thanks.
I already knew that the FCC couldn't do anything internationally, and you've just answered what I asked, I guess I didn't phrased my question properly. =P I forgot: ...WHEN IT COMES TO THE US., sorry.
A shame FCC always fucks everything up, even at stuff on cable. >=(
Its funny how much they drag out the Shin part,for those planning on watching fist of the north star,bear in mind theres waaay better things to come ;P
this was on sinimax pax and the anime chanel back in 2003-4-5 they only had the 39 english dubs then they stopped. the most bad ass anime i had ever seen. kenshiro is the most unstopable walking force. when he meets the south star guy then it starts to get really insane.
