[REMOVED TO PREVENT COPYRIGHT PROBLEMS]

Believe it or not, it was a kid's series in Japan... despite all the gore and violence.

Short background story and few screenshots, please?

Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:06 am

The series is set after the world was ruined by nuclear war in 199X (i.e. the exact year is not given). It stars a man named Kenshiro, who is the successor to Hokuto Shinken ("Divine Fist of the North Star"), a martial art that kills people by applying force to pressure points usually resulting in horrible deaths.

After the war, the Earth was plunged into an age of terror where the strong reigned supreme, and Kenshiro, while searching for his girlfriend Yuria, encounters and executes the strong bad guys along his way. He has no mercy for those who treat the weak without mercy.

Fist of the North Star is old skool man.

They had a cool target punching arcade game based on it, good times.

Ahh... good ol' Fist of the Northstar, they don't make shonen like they used to, that's for sure.

Here's another fun lil Fist of the Northstar AMV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSlaT2CNRKo

Also, Funimation just announced that they'll be carrying this (and Captain Harlock!!) on their website. Huzzah!

I remember watching the anime years ago, it was great.

That was one of the first anime's I ever saw after my kids were born. I was completely blown away...until I saw Vampire Hunter D...pant, pant, pant, oooowwwOOOOHHHHHH! heart
I was head over heals in love with a cartoon dude and willing to "dabble in watercolors!"
Oh well.
But I remember the violence in Fist of the Northstar and the way that one guy (my favorite character in the movie) used his hands to cut that baddie into meat chunks. I wouldn't let my kids see it.
Does anyone remember Galaxy Express 999? That was my very first anime.

Omg. thats.....awesome?

no no no thats.....bad..right?

i saw it before they went and made it look new.
i always found it funny when ever i'd see the last part of kill bill volume two.

when bill is walking aways it like you want to see a little timer in the corner of the screen as he walks to his death.

and that guy with the white hair is hilarious.
