This animated feature film of the famous manga "Fist of the North Star" is worth watching perhaps just to see how ludicrous and terrible a lot of anime was back in the '80s. Reviewed by jadavix 4 / 10 Makes you more appreciative of modern anime It might be the best 'cult' anime film ever produced an absolutely incredible must-see for all anime fans and even strident American animated patriots might want to look in the non-violent scenes for care and fortitude.īottom line, the Fist of the North Star motion picture is one of the best animated films ever presented. While not without having some off-putting material in the nature of the violence and in some of the hints of the subject matter, it's not without having its true merits as a genre picture.
And yes, I said a kids movie, or at least that is how it's understood in Japan being that there is no real nudity and language past SOB and bastard, but can still go no holds barred in earth shattering battle scenes.
The story as well, while at times set up like the video games it inspired, is also quite credible, er for a kids movie. While the ending gets weak, the animation in and of itself from first frame to last is remarkable and captures all the feeling that goes in and with these characters. True, it comes from the same minds that have developed some of the sickest and most perverse entertainment on planet Earth, but what's strange is that it's terrifyingly beautiful all the way through. Reviewed by Quinoa1984 10 / 10 A harrowing trip into apocalyptic visions and LOTS of violence from anime Japanįist of the North Star is definitely the best anime ever created- certainly the most violent, in fact, anyone who has the grace to see this film should note that this could very well be the most violent film in any genre of any time period it makes Clockwork Orange, Natural Born Killers and the entire Living Dead trilogy combined look like amateur demonstrations.
