How good/bad is Hokuto no Ken
It is a historical classic on its own merits, and deserves to be in the Enlightenment list.

It isn't bad, but there's no point in adding it to either list.

It is the granddaddy of all pseudo-mature violent anime, and deserves to be in the Relations list.

This series is a well-known classic, and is often parodied and alluded in other works. However, doubts have been raised on whether it is really excellent or really over-hyped.

If you haven't seen the series yet, use the reviews and opinions expressed here or elsewhere to help decide whether to watch it or not, NOT to decide your vote.

Anyone not behaving as an Uber-Elite should shall be mercilessly exploded.

Maximum cheesy beefcake violence. Of course, it is close to perfection.

Now this is what shounen should be like. Sure it might seem like mindless violence but in the end it manages to deliver great emotional impact. (People here die all the time. And they stay dead. No magical ressurections. Nobody with a name (who doesn't die in the first episode he appears in) becomes decoration in the background. They all have strong presence and you really DON'T know beforehand if they remain alive after the battle)


And yhis is indeed the manliest anime ever:

Oh shoot, I accidently put 'relations' when I meant to click enlightenment. D=

Assume there is one less for relations and one more for enlightenment.

Oh was I? Uhhhh.

I'd say Kuragehime, since we mentioned it before.

You should also do one for Pokemon just because it would amuse me and I'm curious to see how people would vote.

I'm not sure if I would've picked the 2nd or 3rd option if that was the next poll. I loved it as a kid, but looking back, it's an incredibly shitty show.
