If I have to pick which anime film coming in 2006 that I wanted to see the most, it would definitely be the new Fist of the North Star movie. My taste in anime leans toward the darker and edgy stuff. When I first saw the Fist of the North star movie from Streamline Pictures, I instantly became a fan. To me, it wasn't just about the over the top violence but there is something deeper. Its about fighting for the sake of chivalry and standing up againest repression. The themes represented in the story is the reason I love this series so much.
To view the trailer, go to the official Fist of the North Star movie site and click on the trailer section. The video is in flash and its embedded. Also, the teaser that was reported here before is replace with a different teaser. The old teaser can be view here. Watching the trailer has got me pump up and eager to go see it.
Toho will release this film theatrically in Japan on March 3, 2006.
