FIST OF THE NORTH STAR - FIST OF THE NORTH STAR (1 Blu-ray)

Im a big fan of the Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star) saga and though this movie has alot of changes to the story of the original manga and anime series it still is a great watch. Be prepared for alot of blood and gore though still to this day we have to put up with the censored version but credit to diskotek as they have released the best and least edited version to date. I read that some of the original scenes that were edited out have now been lost due to a fire so we may never be able to see a fully uncut version but I am just happy to have this version in my collection. Old skool animation with plenty of action and good story, contains both English and Japanese audio with English subtitles. If your into anime and haven't watched this get it done =D

I've watched the original VHS version that came out many moons ago! and now its on DVD!!WoW!! it was AWSOME then! and its AWSOME now!! one of the best MANGA epics ever and one of the most original stories Managa has ever done!,,,in my book on par with AKIRA.Now i can rewind my favorites bits with ease...yeah a Fantastic buy.They made a movie version starring some australian actor in the lead role! ( well if you saw the Jean-claude vandam version of Street fighter! you will give the movie version a miss and stick with the Animation ) NUFF SAID about the Aussi Movie version of Fist of the North Star! stick with the Manga version, the original is definetly the best.Check out the Episodes version as well on DVD, they are great too.

Fist of the North Star is an awesome anime, and a must own. The story is centered around Kenshiro (the hire to Hukto shinken, the martial art of the North Star) and is very engaging. The soundtrack is brilliant, especially "Heart of Madness" by the Komodo Band. This is a very violent film with heads and bodies exploding every where. This dvd lets you view the English dub as well as the Japanese origanal, which is good for showing how flawless the dud actually is. my opion is this BUY BUY BUY!!!!

Amazing anime, so entertaining with the best soundtrack in any anime ever.The new remaster is up there with the 2001 akira remaster in terms of picture quality....the film looks like it was made last year its that clean and fresh looking.Just a must own dvd for all anime fans.First time the film has been available in dvd since 1998, and that was a horrible vhs quality dvd.This is like watching a new movie altogether.

Great film have been a fan since its first release on vhs to which im a proud owner of. This dvd re-release is great except for a few gripes i have with it which is why it didn't get 5 stars from me. Firstly, the wording for the film e.g its title and cast credits are all in Japanese which takes a little away for an English fan of the classic. Secondly, although not as diminishing as the first point, its only available in region1 which although you can get round this, its biasly inconvenient for uk users. Shame really, it was almost perfect.

The blu ray has really nice picture quality and the translation is superior to fansubs I've seen.

Hunted so long for a region 2 of it and I'm so happy to finally have it

One of the best animes ever made in my opinion, love these old school manga movies such as ninja scroll or guyver or legend of the four kings. This is probably one of the more violent ones but the story and the fight scenes are brilliant. Definately worth buying.
