More Hokuto Musou

All-Request Week 2010 has ended but those of you whose requests weren't posted shouldn't worry. I plan to honor all that I can over the next couple of weeks with All-Request Week 2010 Extra posts. Also, requests are ALWAYS open so continue to send them in.

Now, today's post features more art from the game Hokuto Musou, based on the manga/anime Fist of The North Star. Art from this game was featured in the previous FOTNS post. The scans come from the awesome Dokuganryu (linked in the sidebar). Two of them have been cropped by me.

Today's post features more pics from Fist of The North Star. In addition to a few pics from a calendar, this post also includes some artwork from the upcoming video game Hokuto Musou, which combines Fist of The North Star with the Dynasty Warriors engine. It hits stores in Japan next month. After the rest of the pics, check out the game's trailer.

Fist Of The North Star

Fist of The North Star is an old-school manga/anime created by Tetsuo Hara and Buronson  It's a fighting series in a post-apocalyptic Earth and is known for its ultra-violence.  This property has had a lot of different forms apart from the original manga series including multiple anime adaptations, manga spinoffs, and even a live-action movie. 

Most of the pics come from the manga, although there are a couple of anime pics too.
