SWEET! What an odd title for them to grab. Never expected anyone to actually pick it up. I really recommend this series, it's highly underrated and an absolute riot with the Fist in-jokes and general wit alike, it's a comedy gem.

Well this came out of nowhere, actually glad to see this since I enjoyed watching the show in Crunchyroll. It seems really weird though even Crunchyroll seemed reluctant to pick this one up, I believe the show was like 5 episodes in when they started showing it. No complaints though, I shall add it to my Hokuto No Ken collection. Now only if we could get the newer films released over here.

Unexpected license, but a damn fun one. Definitely buying.

The artwork reminds of a show that you'd see on Cartoon Network.

I'm puzzled as to why they got any "Fist of the North Star" anime. That hasn't exactly done well over here,hasn't it? It's just going to flop here,just like "Saint Seiya."

Legend of the Dark King did well enough that they went back, dubbed it, and made it one of their first bluray releases. Plus, this was probably an inexpensive license or part of bundle deal.
