( Volume 1 - The Cursed City: A twist to the classic favourite that begins in the aftermath of the great apocalypse, across a barren Earth, chaos is the rule, and order the exception with bandits and enterprising overlords terrorizing the survivors of the holocaust. Will a hero rise from the ashes and cut a swath of justice across the Earth's ruined landscape?
In the aftermath of Kenshiro's attack on the citadel of Last Land, the boy known as Lord Doha falls deathly ill. Sara's prognosis is dire: it will be only a few days before death takes him. The serum to save his life is a two days drive each way. When pressed by Kenshiro, Sara admits there is a shorter path but it runs through Cliffland, a land haunted by demons who practice a mysterious killing technique. Fates collide as Kenshiro takes up the quest and departs for Cliffland.
Suddenly, another mysterious martial artist arrives in Last Land, pursued by two of the dreaded Clifflanders. The fighter gives his name as Seiji and vows to take all that Sanga has owned. The balance of power is once again thrown into chaos as fist is pitted against fist in a struggle to see whose justice will prevail. Meanwhile, Sara anxiously waits for Kenshiro to return; if indeed he is to return at all...
Volume 2 - The Forbidden Fist: Lord Doha falls deathly ill, and Kenshiro takes up the quest to retrieve the serum, but he'll have to cross through a land haunted by demons. Will he survive and bring back the medicine in time? And who's this mysterious martial artist that has suddenly arrived? Has the balance of power once again been thrown into chaos as fist is pitted against fist?
Volume 3 - When A Man Carries Sorrow: After escaping from the tower where Seiji imprisoned them, Tobi rallies the townspeople against Seiji calling them to a holy war in the name of Lord Doha. Wave after wave of people break against the fortress walls, but Seiji's defences hold firm. Kenshiro returns to find the entire city thrown into a maelstrom of blood and agony. Tobi betrays Kenshiro, imprisoning him before launching the final assault against Seiji. Can Kenshiro summon the power to break free? Will the justice of the North Star prevail?
Don't miss a minute of the fist-pounding fury in the climatic conclusion of the New Fist of the North Star!

Nothing like the '80s original.

This is really bad, nothing like the original OVA series or animated movie of 1985/86, the environments and voice acting is ok but the characters look terrible and the story is just complete rubbish. I was really disappointed with this.
Great fun, brutally violent, most amusing

Like the original this version of Fist of the North Star certainly doesn't hold back on the violence. Plenty of graphic exploding heads - including teeth flying out and veins bursting. Glorious.
The plot's pretty good, with a few twists along the way, but nothing too taxing. The real treat is in the visuals though, as everything just looks soooo good!!!
The only real let down is the ending - don't worry, I'll spare you the details. But I will say that you may, like me, find yourself almost laughing at the shear cheesiness of the final moments. Not good at all.
All in all, if you're a fan of anime, and you love the brutal violence as much as the funny dialogue then you'll enjoy this series. But be aware that you may feel a little let down by the ending.
