Silliest part of the anime imo. You just have to get over it like I did because it did but me at first but the anime was to good to miss.

movie holds up so well. i wonder how many all-nighters the animators pulled to get that slick animation down.

I still prefer watching the dub with new music that aired on Showtime Beyond back in 2000/2001. gives the anime a really different kind of feel from the original.

After the 4th or 5th episode I was saying that shit out loud every time Kenshiro did his work on one of Raoh's minions. Got'Em!

Another thing... is it seems Ken had a weird sense of Black Humour in determining how teh minions died...

...the touch of regret... where you have 30 seconds to think about your life before you die... seems almost cruel...

My fav is prob when he made that guy saw his own neck off...

Ken is a SUPERSTAR!

Yea, it's twisted but to be fair he or someone else always gives the dumb minions fair warning but they never listen. If someone told me that I was fighting Kenshiro the true heir of the The North Star, I would be like fuck that, apologize and take off at full speed. I don't want my body to explode.

Nice! I just repurchased the Streamline DVD and watched it over the holidays. Always fun to re-watch after a long time away.

Not sure how Kenshiro does it, but I believe Marvel's go to answer for how garments survive such abuse is that they're made out of "unstable particles", courtesy of the genius of Mr. Fantastic. It's funny how ripped clothes on superheroes/heroines always manage to cover the person's naughty bits too, even when they're shredded everywhere else.

I think there's a pressure point technique that explodes cows into new leather jackets. Free clothes for everyone!

Here's a side by side of the TV OP and the PSX game OP.

Whenever they show the people in the desert and the woman starts singing, I feel the power of Hokuto Shinken surge through me.

Maybe that's why Hulk is so mad, I'd be pretty ragey if my junk was getting crushed.

Yea, the theme song is so awesome. I get pumped everytime I hear it. This is also one of my favorite tracks from the show.

What i have found as well.. is the obvious use of old frames in some episodes so far...

Not that I'm not enjoying the show again... BUT...

1. Fast forward 2min 30 seconds for intro...
2. Skip 5-10 minutes per episode for useless chatter...
3. 5-10 minutes for innocent victim death...

...this leaves me about 5-10 minutes of Ken doing his medieval killing thing...
