Did anyone else know there was a fist of the north star prequel anime in '06? I'm downloading it now and can't wait. Anyone (midget) know if it's good or not?

Yeah, it's supposed to be part of a series. 4 or 5 movies. I think it's the only one made so far. Not intended as a prequel, I don't think, just some side stories from what I heard. The one you're talking about, is it like Martyr something or other?

I watched the first 2 episodes. Definatly a series. It starts off in 197X with Kenshiro's birth and the old master from the original series (a young Ryuken), then it flashes back to 193X and looks to be telling the backstory of how Hokuto Shin Ken got where they were. Gonna see if i can get more episodes and see how it plays out.

The one I'm talking about is a series of full length movies, and they've only made one so far. But I know now what you're talking about. Fist of the Blue Sky. I haven't seen that one yet.
