Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hokuto Shinken wa muteki da
This martial arts series, made almost 20 years ago, is still one of the most popular anime in Japan, and for good reason. The soundtrack, voice acting, and action are all top-notch. It follows the story of Kenshiro, the inheritor of the Hokuto Shinken martial art, and the savior of the post-apocalyptic world the story takes place in. Hokuto Shinken is an art that shatters the opponent from within, causing their body to explode. Needless to say, the anime is ultra-violent. All fans of anime and action ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Messed up by Manga Entertainment!
This is the popular TV-series based on the manga by Buronson (story) and Tetsuo Hara (art). The story follows the manga very, very closely. Each chapter has been turned into one episode and partly it seems as if the manga was actually used as the storyboard for the animators. The animation quality is not that good since this is, after all, a TV series from 1984. There are more quiet, even thoughtful moments and beautiful depictions of post-apokalyptic rural life than in the theatrical movie (which ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - All of you are reviewing the wrong thing.
These reviews are for the Motion Picture. I don't know what they are doing on here. This tape isn't even a film; it's a set of episodes, and some good ones at that.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - WARNING - Why did I even bother to watch the whole thing!
"An Anime Classic" - Yes, it's old. And the animation isn't exactly state of the art. The characters change porportions from one scene to the next. That is permissable, even amusing, but the story line is not. It's predictable and stupid - evil vs. good with not so subtle pro christian overtones. It's freaky really, but the dialog is so banal and the gore so ungratifying that suffering through the whole thing is really like a trip to hell!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The ultimate action anime series
This series is excellent. I highly recommend the Japanese Subtitled version as it contains the orginal soundtrack and the original voices which are excellent. The art is showing age, but it is indeed one of the best anime series around. The story really provokes emotion.
