New Fist of the North Star · review
Fist of the North Star, one of the first series/movies I'd ever seen. Basically story is post-apocalyptic with martial arts being the main defense/offense for all rogue citizens. There are certain martial artists that practice Hokuto style which is the "creme of the crop" the type of martial arts that can debilitate, kill or heal others with a single touch. A wandering traveler, Kenishiro meets and decides to help save a country from a false leader. Story: 8/10- it's a classic, straight up action martial arts anime with a simple to follow story line and lots of violence. Art: 9/10- A great thing about OVAs isthat animation is always brought up a level, with a lot of detail and clarity involved.
Sound: 9/10- I love Gackt (which is the intro & outro songs) plus who doesn't love "Watatata!!!"
Character: 7/10- Not a whole lotta development for characters, but they're still likable and you want Ken to succeed in all he does.
Enjoyment/Overall: 8/10- I love this story, action and strength of martial arts, so its an enjoyable OVA for me.
