| Drop that nonsense and go read some Hokuto . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| Woah, that was fast, going to watch it. Merci all |
vgbnd said: Woah, that was fast, going to watch it. Merci all Dunno if you're a sub or dub fan, but Yu Yu's dub is better. That's my honest opinion. It's funnier, at least. |

| OMFG HOW COULD YOU NoT KNOW WHO THAT IS LOLZ you NEWB WATCHER That's the reaction you were hoping for? It's from a anime called Yu Yu Hakusho, its old so its okay if you haven't heard of it lol |
vgbnd said: strider_91 said: Don't listen to him. Watch hxh next for even something better. Already watched, was a really great anime ! I hope it will not end there.. If you liked Hokuto no Ken then you should definitely enjoy Yu Yu Hakusho. And yeah its one of those rare the dub is better than the sub anime. |

strider_91 said: vgbnd said: Already watched, was a really great anime ! I hope it will not stop there.. Yeah we hope so. Watch the older 99 version if you haven't done so or vice versa. Only watched the 2011 version, is the 99 version a different story? Or the same with og graphics |

| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
Why would I kill you when you can do it yourself? |

| Never seen Hokuto, seems like it look like History Strongest Disciple Kenichi, or nah? |
vgbnd said: Never seen Hokuto, seems like it look like History Strongest Disciple Kenichi, or nah? Hokuto is one of the first battle shounen and is one of the most violent however the anime suffered from heavy censorship so its better to go with the manga if you read manga however the anime is still really entertaining. The post apocalyptic wasteland theme inspired by Mad Max is really awesome though generally I feel the good guys don't have a hard enough time beating the bad guys. |

GreenSoap said: Waifu_Strangler said: I don't agree with this. While people tend to favoritise the Dark Tournament arc, the following arcs are still very entertaining. Actually, the arc from the picture might just be my favorite. Its execution is spot on.by that point the anime drops in quality tbh. Another must-watch is the original HxH adaptation. I think the last arc feels kinda rushed which is what I was thinking of but isnt that pic is from the previous arc now that I think about it. |

Alright, I was planning on watching it but I guess I'll read it instead, thanks sir ! |

vgbnd said: Never seen Hokuto, seems like it look like History Strongest Disciple Kenichi, or nah? I've read the two and I'll say no . HSDK has a wider variety of martial arts with at least a bit of realism to them .Hokuto has manly men performing moves that split heads .It also has cool lines .HSDK and Hokuto are sort of similar though in the sense that they both use "love"(in a sense) as a decider for the winner of some fights .If I had to put their similarity in percentage terms excluding the factor that is them both being martial arts anime then I'll put it at 40% . |

Waifu_Strangler said: vgbnd said: Never seen Hokuto, seems like it look like History Strongest Disciple Kenichi, or nah? Hokuto is one of the first battle shounen ... That is the farthest from the truth! I don't know why such a misconception is so widespread. Is easy to see that this is not true when you know that Weekly Shonen Jump the magazine where Hokuto no Ken ran, started late into the shonen magazine game, in 1968. Weekly Shonen Magazine and Weekly Shonen Sunday started in 1959 almost 10 years before Jump. And that isn't the only thing, before either Magazine and Sunday there was other shounen magazine, and many of them now don't exist. Then if you look at the time Hokuto started and look at the beginning of battle shounen anime series you get this mega simplified chronology: 1952 - Astro Boy(anime in 1963, Shonen Kobunsha Magazine) 1956 - Tetsujin 28-Go(anime in 1963, Shonen Magazine(Yep the magazine was called Shounen)) 1963 - 8 Man(anime in 1963, Weekly Shonen Magazine) 1963 - Big X(anime in 1964, Shonen Book Magazine (is the father magazine to Weekly Shonen Jump) 1964 - Fujimaru of the Wind(only anime, 2nd Toei animation TV series and their 1st Shounen Battle manga) . . . 1969 - Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daishou(A Shining Example of a Bully)(anime in 1969, 1st Weekly Shonen Jump Battle Manga) . . . 1983 - Hokuto no Ken(anime in 1984, Weekly Shonen Jump) Not only Hokuto no Ken was made 14 years after Weekly Shonen Jump 1st Battle Manga, but Hokuto was made 31 years after the 1st "Popular" Battle Manga. And yes, there were numerous Battle Shounen manga and anime between Astro Boy, Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine beginning and Hokuto no Ken. |

Waifu_Strangler said: bigivelfhq said: I don't understand, what do you mean by Serial? Not episodic. Continuing storyline often divided in arcs. I don't think is that either! Even Astro Boy isn't really episodic, and there is a ton of other series with ton of different types of storytelling during those times. |

Just having action isn't enough to be a battle shounen, or is getter robo a battle shounen now? hokuto set the tone for modern battle shounen, and everyone followed suit. |

Yep, Getter Robo is a battle Shounen. It is targeted to the shounen demographic(Weekly Shonen Sunday), and from the genre(Action) and Robot(Mecha). So, yes again a battle shounen Mecha series. Hokuto no Ken is a Battle Shounen Martial Arts series. Tell me about this so called "Tone" that you're talking about. |

Even Astro Boy isn't really episodic, and there is a ton of other series with ton of different types of storytelling during those times. The episodic nature you talk about Astro Boy can easily be called "arcs", because each of the stories took various chapters, and there is stuff that goes from one arc/episode to the others. Hokuto no Ken is basically like that. The only thing that unites stuff is the Hokuto Brothers and 5 Nanto fighters. The rest the story is pretty much "episodic" just like Astro Boy. Something being episodic has to do with being like Sazae-san, Doraemon, Crayon Shin-chan, Chibi Maruko chan, Black Jack, Detective Conan(though is in reality a mixture of episodic and progressive) and Kindaichi Case Files(Also a mixture). Where the Status Quo of the series resets fast and there is no relation between time, space and events. For example Pokemon isn't an episodic series, even though it resets in the end of an area(new game coming). Most Shonen Battle stories in the past, and significantly before Hokuto no Ken, were already not episodic. |
