It was a few weeks ago that it was released -- I had meant to download it, but didn't have the space -- and when I got the space, my laptop's sound chip died. (I since got a USB Sound Blaster box.)
Anyway, I suppose I should ask before I again think about downloading it -- how is it? Not having watched the original series, is it a suitable substitute? Or will I need to go back to experience the original Hokuto Hyakuretsuken?

Episode 2 is pretty good... the fighting is a little less exciting, it's just Kenshiro trashing everybody... although there is a nice backstory on his fighting style... so crazy ass monks... and the main villian of the OAV is introduced. Looking forward to episode 3.

I have the first two episodes. I like it, but Takehito Koyasu's voice doesn't really fit Kenshiro IMO. I've watched enough of the regular series that I've gotten really used to Kamiya Akira's voice.

I saw it and liked it. Only complaint is there's a bit of overuse of CGI, (I don't mind it so much on cars, but not on fighting Auras. That needs to be hand drawn IMHO.)Though it's kind of expected with the directer of Initial D.
Kenshiro's new voice doesn't bug me. So long as he can pull off a WATATATATATATATA! and he can.
I loved the Gakt songs and seeing Gakt in the ending credits is cool beyond words!
Not to mention, we finally get to see blood and gore in Fist! Not that white stuff seen on the TV Show, and not that cheesy blurring affect used in the movie, but straight up blood!
The TV Show still owns this OVA, and the original Manga owns all.
