This is my first post here, so hello everyone :)
I've been lurking here for awhile, and I really like this BBS :)

Now, I recently discovered this:
Shin Hokuto no Ken

Does anyone have more info on this? I can't read Japanese...

I also found a brief trailer

Link Here

Mirror

Quality looks promising, light-years ahead the old series and the animated movies...
Don't know why, but when I saw this the first time Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust came to my mind
Kenshirô look more badass than ever

3rd Strike rulez ;)

first of all - welcome to the boards, enjoy your stay.

second of all - NICE trailer. I see why you'd think of bloodlust when you see this... D does the same thing in trailer: catching an arrow and snapping it.

anyway, I highly look forward to this, since hokuto no ken is still one of my favorite movies of all time. one thing though, there was a certain "grittiness" that the tv series and movie had, that made the animation stand out - kenshiro looks a bit too "clean" to me.

HnK is a standpoint in my likings, it also was my very first manga (which i prefer to the anime version). Is Sôten no Ken any good?
You're right, Ken looks "clean", different for sure, but I'm inclined to like the new incarnation better...
matter of taste, anyway.

Since that looks like -at least in a few of the shots- a CG arrow that Ken is catching I wonder if this means that the latest in computer technology will be used when people pop apart? No longer fettered by conventional hand drawn animation, Ken could now make people explode in 3D!

I agree with Kenshiro looking to clean - his wounds don't look as scabby as they did in the later half of the Anime series - Hokuto No Ken 2 where he looked his best IMHO. But this new OVA's gonna rule!!

Loved the second series! I hope they keep the crazy cast of fighters that played such a big part there. I loved the American fighter with the kid, that Kenshiro got the right hand glove from.

I just thought that trailer/teaser looked, it reminded me more of footage from a cutscene in a videogame.

Remember in Hokuto No Ken 2 when Kenshiro had that Gouki looking God Stand over him when Shachi was walking around with unconscience Ken and Kao approached him? Imagine that God dude with some computer Graphics! If this is an OVA, I've got high hopes!

Looks like it's going to be based off the novel book (which happens after the end of the manga)
Don't know if it's good or bad news...
