	'Fist of the North Star'
		rame by frame, "Fist of the North Star" is spectacular -- which is to be expected from an animated feature inspired by a popular Japanese comic book that has spun off a television series in Japan and a Nintendo Game Boy cartridge in America.
		Definitely not for children, "Fist" would be rated R, and possibly X, were its stars human.
		Dubbed in English (Julia sounds just like Jane Fonda!) and featuring characters who'd be quite at home in Sweden, "Fist of the North Star" is a gut-punching ecological fable (a stretch, but it's there), but watching it you'll feel as comfortable as a hemophiliac in a razor blade factory.

	Fist of the North Star, Volume 5 (1984-1987): Akira Kamiya, Yuriko Yamamoto, Keiichi Nanba, Tomiko Suzuki - PopMatters ...
		Kenshiro is Fist of the North Star and master of the martial art Hokuto Shinken (according to the series' mythology, Hokuto Shinken has survived for 2000 years, passed down from individual master to individual master).
		Bodies matter in Fist of the North Star; they're the surfaces on which Kenshiro inscribes his story of redemption and revenge.
		He is himself inscribed by seven scars (in the pattern of the Little Dipper), the residue of injuries inflicted by Shin, but also the indications of his rightful place on the side of "Truth" and "Rightness" (in other words, signs of grace or beatitude -- the symbolism is hard to miss).

		Fist of the North Star is a great anime, and i found it to be remotely similar to Ninja Scroll, which is great, if you love blood and gore along side of lots and lots of exploding heads then Fist of the North Star is a must have.
		Fist of the Northstar utilizes many under used techniques which are reminiscent of those introduced by the all-time greatest animator ever: Ralph Bakshi.
		Longtime FIST fans like myself are constantly frustrated by the structure of the original story simply because it takes a long time to get past the whole Shin plotline and get to the real point of the story: the power struggle between the three remaining Northstar brothers.

		Fist of the North Star seriously overestimates its excitement value, which is brought down by a ponderous tone, and while there is a fair amount of violence there for those who want it, anyone digging deeper will find a hollow experience, with its love and revenge storylines amounting to only the most predictable outcomes.

		Since Fist of the North Star was one of the first feature-length anime releases I saw in America, New Fist of the North Star easily takes me on such a journey.
		Just like the manga that spawned it, New Fist of the North Star is an extremely gory series, and again reminds me of the truthfulness of the “Warning: Contains Extreme Brutality” disclaimer on the box of the original theatrical release.
		Overall, the look of New Fist of the North Star is very sharp, and surprisingly, at times I’d even say it was pretty.
