So, New Fist of the North Star: The Forbidden Fist is kind of a wild ride, really. It picks up after the Last Land has fallen apart thanks to Kenshiro's relentless quest for justice. The animation style is gritty, which I appreciate, and the pacing feels intense as Kenshiro navigates through this demon-infested wasteland. The story revolves around saving young Lord Doha, who’s in a tight spot, needing this rare serum that’s his only hope. The themes of sacrifice and survival resonate throughout, and while the practical effects can feel a bit dated, there's a certain charm to them. The character performances carry a weight, especially Kenshiro's as he faces his inner demons alongside the literal ones. It’s not just another action flick; it’s steeped in that classic Fist of the North Star atmosphere.
