well when a possible cashcow enters the us market.


sad but true the new series just sucks hard...why? simply said, produces in the us. the problem is with good products like north star is, if you put money and censorship into something that was known for beeing really violent...well then dear fans, everything is over.


let's face it.

the storyline gets completly out of hand and just bores the fans and newcomers! why? because the original series was a typical japanese anime...dark, overacting and violent, what happens if you get rid of point one and two simply to get more customers...apparently kids(latest example is die hard 4) to make more money.

2. in japan something like that can never be successful, unless it's funny, well written or pokemon like. unfortunatly it seems violent cartoons still are what we get to watch in japan, elfenlieb for example! why not fist of the north star? even the animaterd series had no red blood in it, at least it was a quite thrilling dark story with tremendous one liners and fight scences...not too mention exploding heads.

3. and sadly...if something great just dies like that the only hope we can get is that in a different time we get some good ol brute fighting scenes, dragonball became crap and fans hate this series now...it just died out.
same with transformers and now hakuto no ken...fantastic.

us fans should write fan mails to the developers to make sure they get a descent product. we got the money to make a real descent comeback but the censorship rights forbid us to built a good storyline and an hig amount of action!?!? could it be me or am i jsut overacting?

What are you talking about, New Fist was mega violent, or have I missed your point?
