terry the lone wolf Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I've just seen the new Fist of the North Star ova and it's great. It is new story about Kenshiro fighting a tyrant, Sanga, who wants to dominate the world's last unpolluted water supply. It has a mixture of 2D and CGI effects. The fight scenes are more detailed and fluent. The characters are less mechanacal. The OVA features new characters like Sarah; who can heal people with her fingers and maybe a member of the Hokuto Shiken clan. Also a boy named Doma who can create water from his fists. There's is a silver haired fighter who shows up at the end of the feature. He looks sort of like Rei from the first series. Does anybody know who he might be?

Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 It should be noted that our fave Macross seiyuu Akira Kamiya (Roy Focker) won't be reprising his role as Kenshiro in this Fist of the North Star OAV. Instead, our fellow Macross seiyuu Takehito Koyasu (Gamlin Kazaki) will be taking over the role of Kenshiro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit29 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 The bootlegs of this are on ebay. The video quality is good and so are the subs. I hope this gets an offical US release some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I hope this gets an offical US release some day. Be careful what you wish for. Doesn't Mangle have the rights to the original series? I'd hate to see them follw it up by ruining a brand new OVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now they aren't doing anymore. I had heard rumors that Gutsoon Entertainment would do with a US release of the new OVA once Mangles rights are done. They are the parent company of Rajin comics who publish the new FOTNS graphic novels and prequel Fist of the Blue Sky comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 You can get a digisub of it here http://www.anisekai.com/aniworld/torrent/torrents/[aW-FS]New.Fist.of.the.North.Star.OAV.1.rar.torrent (you'll have to cut and paste the URL) I watched it a few weeks ago and thought it was very well done. Though I know little about FotNS, so I didn't even know if it was a re-telling of an old story or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
