So yesterday i finally found out what the Hokuto no ken movies i hadn't seen were called. they're from 2004 and were called "new fist of the north star". 3 OVA movies 1 hour long each.
Events takes place after the 2nd series, and maybe because of that there really isn't anything that feels important about it. Kenshiro's pretty much just wandering around doin what he does, and that's it.
Kenshiro saves a guy, ends up being involved etc etc...
Art is nice, kills are excessively detailed and graphic, everything looks good, but personally i kept having the feeling it was just another Monday for Kenshiro, he barely seemed to care about the events himself.
Only thing a fan would enjoy is the brief fights Kenshiro is involved in, and how they have 2 variants of hokuto shinken in it and explain it by saying that they could had been created by candidates to b the heir of hokuto shinken who weren't chosen, had their "fists sealed", but still retained enough knowledge to teach part of the art to others. A variant is used for medicine, and the other for fighting.
I think that's the first time that it's addressed what happens to people who don't become the heir, but seems that as soon as they address it they find that it's been done twice. In the same week finding 2 variants of hokuto shinken seems pushing it.
If you're a fan, I recommend watching it once, it's not bad, just, all things considered it's meaningless.
Note to my friends, my character Brooke's anniversary is on the 30th.
