Fist of the North Star video game

Do you know Fist of the North Star? It's a manga from the early 1980s which was also made into one of the craziest, most violent anime movies ever brought to film in 1986. Now here's the video game Hokuto Muso, based on the Fist of the North Star canon and available in Japan now. Looks like the usual people-slashing, gore-bashing action is all here, and if you're a big fan you can even buy an alarm clock with the female character pleading for help.

Queen Millennia

Well I'll be damned: someone uploaded all episodes of Queen Millennia, a Japanese anime series created in the early 1980s by Leiji Matsumoto. Yes, that's the guy who also made the video / movie Interstella 5555 together with Daft Punk, so it's not surprising that the style is quite similar.

I remember watching this series when I was in my teens just like the protagonist, and I guess I wasn't the only one who had fantasies of the girl Yayoi serving up some hot chocolate with whipped cream while you're piloting a spaceship! The drawing style, story and music of this series are all awesome. Oh Joys of the Internet!
