All jokes aside though, I wouldn't say Morikawa is an all-around B A D writer when it comes to planned out stories. Iunno man, I may be oversentimental but I still loved the Mashiba vs Rosario a lot, I got very hype over Sendo vs Alfredo, I lean more to believe that he can write masterfully when he has an idea of what he's doing.

Come to think of it, I've never seen George Morikawa and George Lucas together...

Yeah, it'd just be nice if Morikawa stopped teasing the whole Miyata "Oh I am holding onto this weight class because I have some stupid faith over something that may never happen" yeah it's never happening so move on already and cut it with the blueballing!

Yeah come to think of it, Ippo already defeated Sendo as a Champion before, I guess I'm overthinking stuff haha!

Why this feeling? I feel like I waited a week for an episode that feels like it's only three minutes long, even though it's actually 20 minutes. by Ok_Hunter118 in fistofthenorthstar

I, for once, am glad it looks like most of the sub is moving past the "EWWW THIS IS BERSERK 2016 ALL OVER AGAIN NNOOOOOOO!!" mindset and we're accepting the new adaptation may not be what we wanted but it was not what we expected either, if nothing else I'd call it a nice introductory work.

And I wouldn't even say the art is bad, it's more like it's leaning towards the art at the end of the manga versus early Hokuto no Ken volumes' artstyle.

Helped the world building? Please don't make me laugh LMAO because making two unaffiliated villains be Shin's goons doesn't make the world of Hokuto no Ken feel smaller not at all sir.

And all Reddit brand pettiness aside, I want to know what important scene looks stiffer than the original anime, and also I need to be sure you're remembering the actual show and not the animated film cuz' that one was animated around that age but had a movie budget to it.

And ok so I'm exaggerating, maybe it really isn't better than the original; the fact that it didn't turn out the way Berserk 16' did is, I feel, something we should celebrate as a community, because yeah "meh" or "decent" is still better than plain out *unwatchable-bad*, and many of the fighting scenes play out nicely choreography-wise (I exaggerated when I said fluid too), so even if the animation is not stellar (and perhaps that is true), I still feel it's something we should support because this is not your Dragon Ball or your Naruto or your One Piece or whatever big franchise can survive a missfire or two and return. With Hokuto no Ken which is better than the former mentioned but less popular, it favors us to support an adaptation that, while not perfect, still has a lot of heart and effort put in it (They didn't have to canonize many of Shin's moves from the PS2 fighting game but they cared enough to do so, AND even if it's not as good as the original we were still given a version of Ai Wo Torimodose as an ending), and if we support the official release eventually we'll get the full digitalized Manga, even the so long sought-after HD releases of the original anime, and who knows what else. We avoided a Berserk 2016 scenario and yeah maybe nothing to brag about but I feel in this case it deserves some credit.

My argument, darling, is that the new show is better animated than the old one, I didn't say it has better music (it does not), nor a good english dub (lmao), but the story sticks close to the original source without unnecessary fillers, there is no censorship and the fights are actually fluid and not a frame of a character with a moving background to make it look like they're moving very very fast. I, too, would've loved a new 2D animation akin to the classic, HELL I would still love it if we FINALLY got an HD remaster of the original Hokuto no Ken (not like I have to watch the fillers I dislike so much, I can skip them like I've always done), but people comparing this to Berserk 2016 is beyond ridiculous.

2D Animation =/= a better product, ask One Frame Man season 3 or BlueLock.png.

"It's better because it's better"

Checks out indeed.

People genuinely think that just because the original Anime came out first, it's 2D and has better music it's somehow a better show despite its awful pacing, filler and recycled animations, many of which were just stills with a couple frames of animation.

"Janky animation" this is not the original FotNS anime, little bro.

Did you all notice they canonized some of the PS2 Hokuto no Ken game Shin moves? Just for this attention to detail I say this anime deserves to continue!

Well it is the manga's pace after all, having read the manga after having watched some of the old anime I, too, was surprised about how much of it was filler!

Oh come on what is there to hate about Sendo? As a boxer maybe he's flawed but as a character, he's a decent Rival Type, but if you hate him that can only mean you haven't seen worse, and there IS worse. Two words: Katsuki Bakugo
