In commemoration of the manga’s 40th anniversary, a new Fist of the North Star anime has been announced. The show will have a new voice cast and staff working on it. Information regarding when to expect it and whether it will be available on streaming services has yet to be revealed, but will be announced soon. [Thanks, Oricon News!]
When it comes to the direction of the new anime, it’s supposedly planned to follow the manga more closely out of respect for the source material. The new voice actors are also engaging with the existing Fist of the North Star media to get inspiration for reviving the characters. The show is planned to utilize the latest technology in Japanese animation to showcase the story.
Here’s a look at the key visual that was revealed for the new anime:
