Kodomo Band, Crystal King, and Tom*Cat made some songs for Hokuto No Ken, also known as: Fist of the North Star
Fist of the North Star is definitely the best anime ever created- certainly the most violent. In fact, it makes Clockwork Orange, Natural Born Killers and the entire Living Dead trilogy combined look like amateur demonstrations. True, it comes from the same minds that have developed some of the sickest and most perverse entertainment on planet Earth, but what's strange is that it's terrifyingly beautiful all the way through. The animation in and of itself from first frame to last is remarkable and captures all the feeling that goes in and with these characters. The story as well, while at times set up like the video games it inspired, is also quite credible, er for a kids movie. And yes, I said a kids movie, or at least that is how it's understood in Japan being that there is no real nudity and language past SOB and b*****d, but can still go no holds barred in earth shattering battle scenes. Funny how Japan works.
Still, this is absolutely an incredible must-see for all anime fans and even strident American animated patriots might want to look in the non-violent scenes for care and fortitude. Bottom line, the Fist of the North Star is one of the best animes ever presented. Bravo! A++
