Fist of the North Star

Summary: Love it or Hate it....
Review: Whichever side you're on, you can't deny that Fist of The North Star is satisfying to watch. Fact is, the world would be a much better place if martial artists like Kenshiro actually existed. Kenshiro represents something truly fictional; kindness towards good but weak people, and extreme cruelty towards strong and bad people. In the world we live in, particularly in the typical american high school, its the other way around. Sad thing is, if a martial artist like Kenshiro actually existed and executed his brand of justice on evil people, he would be demonized by the media because the more powerful, fortunate and cruel among us would be threatened by him. I guess that, despite the fact that the voice acting is terrible, the animation horrible, and the effects downright cheezy, people love this move because Kenshiro represents an impossible ideal.

Summary: Funniest damn movie ever
Review: If you like real cheezy martial art flicks, you'll love this. One of the first anime films I saw, I always like taking the VHS tape out and watching it. I'm not sure if this DVD is still in production though, since it seems streamline is out of business....maybe manga video will buy the rights. They should. Its a milestone in anime history for comedy.
