Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Gekitou-hen

"Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Gekitou-hen" is a movie that retells Kenshiro's final fight with Raoh with a few minor additions and a lot of left out story. I'm still not completely sold on the art style, though it undoubtedly looks pretty, but I don't like those black lines on characters.

Voice actors are mostly fine and doing their best, though I'm not sure Kunihiro Kawamoto was the right choice for Raoh, same as Shigeru Shibuya. Hiro Shimono does a good job with Kenshiro, but same as Eiji Kanawa his wailing during fights is cringe.

Music is alright, but again, don't count on old cult classics from ... the series to come back.

Fights are alright and definitely more detailed. Violence is mostly stylized and I like that.

All in all, "Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Gekitou-hen" is not a must-watch, but if you are a fan of the series, you can't go wrong with watching it. Just don't expect a masterpiece, because you won't find it here. Those who didn't like the original don't have anything to look for here. 7.5/10!
