 5/5

Overall   4.6 / 5

 

Being a fan of the original I thought this version was even better, the artwork and animeation is much improved. Kenshiro looks better and more beefed up than ever, Sanga is no weekling either. The fight scenes are much more graphic and pull no punches. I have to say my favourite part is as always the Kenshiro can kill a man just by touching his forehead and quotes "Your already dead!" at this point the blokes head will explode.

If you're a fan of the original or just like old fashioned blood shed then this is for you.
