New Fist of the North Star OVA

I just got done watching The new FOTNS OVA Volume 2. After watching the whole original series. This new new series just doesn't live up to the original IMO. I dunno, Im just not feeling it. Yeah the new OVA has some kick ass animation, but Kenshiro just doesn't feel the same. The characters just aren't as appealing as the orignal series. Then again there hasn't been a lot of characters introduced anyways. Hopefully it gets better as the new series progresses. I have to admit I do miss most of the orignal cast. There was a brief flashback of Toki in volume 1. Kenshiro has no flashbacks in volume 2 (Damn!!!). It would of been nice to clear up somethings with Raoh's son Ryu who inherits Hokuto Shinken from volume 1. I wonder how many episodes there's gonna be in the new series? We will just have to wait and see.

I think I'm gonna hold off til there are way more episodes to watch. I can't stand seeing one or two episodes and having to wait a month or two for the next tid bit.

I've seen the first episode, I thought it was pretty cool. Some good ole fashioned anime violence lol. It's good to see a masculine male lead character make a comeback these days when everything is so wimpy nowadays.

True, Kenshiro seems different(not the just the voice or the way he looks) but I don't mind that. Some of the old cast would nice like Rei or more Toki. I could do without a new appearance Bart and Lynn ugh are they annoying.

I don't know how many episodes the new OVA is. I hope this will get a US release.
