Plot Summary: In a post-nuclear future, human race has made many steps. Normal people have become slaves, while genetically modified giants rule the world. Gunpowder is a distant memory and martial arts is the only weapon a man can count on. Two schools face each other in the battle for dominion: Hokuto and Nanto. Kenshiro is the rightful successor of Hokuto school, while Shin is Nanto’s. Shin stole Ken’s girlfriend Julia and Ken is looking for her. Kenshiro travels the barren wasteland of post-apocalyptic Earth as seeks to rescue Julia. As the series progresses, we are introduced to the six Grand Masters of the Nanto Seiken school, as well as Kenshiro’s three adoptive brothers, also trained in the art of Hokuto Shinken. Eventually, Kenshiro’s ultimate rival becomes none other than his eldest brother, Raoh, a would-be conqueror who does not recognize Kenshiro as a worthy successor.

[quote]new anime licensed
We will be releasing these anime titles in 2010:
Fist of the North Star TV Series 1-152
Lupin the Third Episode 0 First Contact
Sea Prince and the Fire Child
The Fist TV series will be released in 4 boxsets.
Also we licensed the Miyavi live action movie Oresama for release in 2010.
Storm Riders is now out, and I feel that its the best version of the film ever released. It has 2 discs and includes the original uncut version and the English dubbed international cut. We remastered the video and subtitles.
Uzumaki and Sex and Zen are also coming out on October 13th. Tokyo 10+1 will be out on November 24th.[/quote]
Definitely buying FoTNS and Lupin.
Didn’t they announce Fist some time ago. I remember reading about it once or twice. Let’s just hope it’s not like the last Lupin movie they got, and they just decide to not release it.

They got the movie, which I still need to buy.
Sounds like the movie did well for them. Good can finally own this show on DVD. Also gives me hope for Galaxy Express 999 and Captain Harlock. Wonder if the Mangle ent dub will be included.
Maybe not just GE999 and Cap Harlock maybe more Lupin III specials and some unreleased tv. Of course if they did never release that other lupin movie then I guess there is no hope on that one. Keep my fingers crossed.
If you have the Showtime Channels you can watch the live-action movie tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 4, on Showtime Beyond at 8:00pm ET/7:00pm CT.
