It's with great pleasure that I be the first critic to write the review for "Fist Of The North Star".
After writing several number one reviews, I will write a great review for this incredible anime.
Fist of The North Star is based on the movie and manga which has been one of the top anime fan picks ever!!!
It's based on a post nuclear society in which their is no law. Only the strong shall survive.
Kenshiro , the hero of our story is part several brothers of the Hotushin school of Martial Arts.
His Brother Jagi, Toki and his friend Shin all were honest, fighters, but all their hearts became evil.
Jagi became jealous with envy after the leader of the school chose Kenshiro as the new leader of the school.
Jagi tries to kill his brother, but Kenshiro using several moves including his "North Star Death Fist" stops Jagi and leaves Jagi face disfigured and ugly.
But this is only the beginning as Kenshiro, remeniscent of the Clint Eastwood Western character, travels to place to place battling Evil and giving hope and entertainment to the people he meets.
I am laughing right now, because I have all the episodes on tape, and I keep getting amazed with every episode I see.
The series is hard to find, but through my best friend I've gotten it on tape.
I am sure they are people who would love to see this series, so email me if you want it.
Back to the series:
Fantastic action!!! Unbelievable moves and many groundbreaking animation scenes make "Fist Of The North Star" one of the greatest anime ever made.
