The New Fist Seem To Be The Best

(5 out of 5 stars)

"New fist of the north star is truly the birth of a great series. With great characters and a well done storyline it only leaves you asking for more.

In this volume Kenshiro encounters a big twist in the plot that seemed to be already decided. When he finds that Tobi has gone mad and betrayed him, I mean how dumb is that. Kenshiro is the only one that can beat Seiji and Tobi would rather have power over his own people's lives.The only downfall in this series is the continuous pressure point head explosions I mean it was great in the first episode but after a while it gets annoying and they dont even poke the pressure point with their finger anymore they just punch them and they expload it's still kind of cool but I think they should pull back on it just a little bit. I don't like to tell everything so I'll end it with this, overall episode 3 gets 5 stars for great animation,an unpredictable story line, and great fight seens. The last fight seen may have been the best one yet out of the first 3 eps.This episode gives a little info on the background of Kenshiros fighting style and the fist of the northstar."
