Fist of the North Star

Hey there,

Yesterday, the Master of Cosmos told me about this anime called "Fist of the North Star". And since he dressed up as Kenshiro for Halloween I knew it must be good...

I've just finished watching the movie to the series and I tell you, it's wicked. There's a lot of things too awesome to describe. I mean, the setting alone is the best thing ever. Earth has more or less survived a nuclear holocaust and now people strive for food and water (aside from Ken, he seeks leather jackets, red shirts and shoulderpads) and they formed gangs. Sounds like Mad Max, doesn't it? Oh, and there's an oil tanker sticking in a skyscraper. And the slogan is, as usual, "only the strong survive". And there is Kenshiro, undisputedly the strongest of them all, even opposing him is an act of idiocy. Yet there's still people who want to give it a shot. So Kenshiro has, after being beaten to death, thrown off a cliff and having half a moutain thrown on him, to find his girl again...

There's the best dialogue ever. between Ken and his brother Jagi. Jagi is dying because Ken used his special technique on him (which I will describe later) and then he dies. Ken killed him, don't get me wrong. And then Ken says, horribly dubbed: "Jagi... damn... what a waste." Isn't that the best line ever.

Now a bit more on Kenshiro. He's so strong, it's almost beyond funny. And his eyebrows tell everything. He is badass. Everytime he fights, his body bursts out too much energy for his red shirt, his shoulderpads and his leather jacket. They just vapourize! And reappear for no reason at all. And in his first big scenes, he lets skyscrapers collapse... on his head! And he has this awesome special attack that lets his opponent's head explode. I swear I'm not making this up.

And there's at least a hundred people dying for no reason at all. And the people are at least 15 feet tall.

So, who has seen this masterpiece and liked it as much as I did? I mean, Ken's Xena-scream is the best thing anime has ever given me. To any of you who haven't seen it, I tell you that you missed something.
