More news on the new Hokuto no Ken anime??? Kick ass!!! I can't wait to see it this summer when it's released!!! I hope I'm able to go to Japan by then to get myself a copy.

I actually own a copy of the live action movie dubbed in raw Japanese. They actually use the real seiyuus from the anime from what I can recognize. I recognize Gary Daniels from Jackie Chan's City Hunter when he became Ken in the infamous "Street Fighter II" fight scene.I understand how fans can disapprove of the movie, but I was satisfied with the way it was done and the other cast members such as Dante Basco(Flip Pride in Da' House) who played Rufio (most bad ass Lost Boy) in Hook, and former WCW World Champion Vader (I'm guessing his size and popularity in Japan was what gave him a role), happens to be casted in the movie as well.

I knew Hokuto No Ken is still popular in Japan after all these years, but I did not know it was popular enough to actually make a new anime. Is it to celebrate the 20th anniversary or something (wasn't the manga made back in 82 or 85?) It will be exciting to see a new anime with the increase in technology and animation quality.

My Japanese reading is not that great compared to my speaking and listening, but I'll do my best to translate that article sometime soon to see what other news they have. I like to see if it's going to be more bloody than the original.

I love the Punchmania edition featuring the characters. The learning curve was really difficult for me when I started playing, but I improved when I started learning from the buddah master/father of Kenshiro. I saw kids beating Shin at this game no problem and actually doing the "atah tah tah tah tah tah tah tah tah tah tah waaaaaaaaa chaaaaa" when they played it.

Is the anime a continuation of the original series? A remake? Or some original thing seperate from the manga,anime, and live action movie.

By the way, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Hokuto no Ken virus protector. I've been searching for it for a while now.

mmmh...
the art is a bit different from the illustrations in the novel book, but the character looks like Seiji (the main rival in the novel)

I hope it's going to be successfull... that would increase chances on having an OVA series based on the manga... Ken and Toki vs Raoh, Souther, Rei vs Yuda, they all scream for hi-quality animation!

HNK had a novel? I knew Video Girl Ai did and if the art is different, I would assume that a different artist did it. After all the only art you see the creator get to do is exclusive to only the manga. I recentley bought the english version to the live action movie and I plan on watching it later tonight.

And as for the success of the new oav. It will be successful. Hokuto No Ken still has a following after all these years like how Gundam does. I'm sure lots of people will love it.
