How do I get into this series?

It looks hype as hell but I have no idea where to start.
>>
Have you tried starting at the beginning?
manga or anime, doesn't really matter. I prefer the anime because of the incredible OST
>>
>>155420656
volume one?
>>
>>155420755
Is there alot of filler?
>>
>>155420914
only until the fight with shin
>>
>>155420954
Any guides to know what is and isn't filler so I can just skip em?
>>
>>155421185
why don't I just watch it for you?
ask reddit you faggot
>>
>>155420656
Manga.
That's it.
>>
>>155421185
Yeah; read the manga.
>>
>>155420656
Maybe you should start at the beginning, faggot.
>>
Watch the 1986 movie. If you like it than watch the anime series

The filler in the anime is done in a way that you can't really skip it because it's intertwined with non-filler content and the plot was altered a bit for said filler.
There isn't much of it, like 8 episodes worth of filler in total that aren't recap episodes.
Series has 152 episodes, about 8 being filler and about 10 being recaps after each major arc.

You start with Hokuto no Ken 1, here:
https://bakabt.me/torrent/176907/hokuto-no-ken-fist-of-the-north-star-tipota

Then if you're still mordibly curious, you can watch Hokuto no Ken 2, which while inferior to original in writing, still maintains the same tier of animation, music etc.
There are no good encodes of HnK2 so you will need to track down Discotek's DVDs, or ISOs of said DVDs.
>>
>>155424438
Also, ignore the awful sequel.
>>
>>155424438
>spoil the entire first half of the series for yourself in a super rushed and vastly inferior storytelling form where they condensed 50 episodes worth of content into a 1.5h movie
No.

Don't fucking watch the movie first.

>>155424458
Also to add to this, after you've watched HnK1 and HnK2, you can read the last 4.5 volumes of the manga which the anime didn't adapt (HnK2 ends a few chapters into Volume 23, so you should read Volumes 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27).
You can find the entire manga here but really just watch the anime and then get the missing part of the story in manga form if you're curious:

And then you can watch the spinoff anime about Raoh:

And the movies:

>>155420755
>not listening to the OST while you read the manga
Objectively the best way to enjoy the series. The art is too great to watch the anime, but the anime OST is godly
>>
>>155424648
Anime still has pretty good art, just nowhere near as good as the manga.
And most importantly, it has amazing pacing, voice acting, music and general direction.
>>
>>155420914
It's good filler
>>
>>155427193
I didn't know such a thing existed.
>>
>>155421279

>anyone asks for any helpful information

"omg fuck off to reddit"
>>
>>155427447
It rarely happens, but it exists
>>
Thanks for all the advice guys.
>>
Read the manga, the anime art it's shit and also fuck off, anime is for fags
