Title: Hokuto no Gun - The Motherland of Manliness
Post by: Cosmic King on March 02, 2012, 06:46:37 AM
Greetings, Lumaholics!

Cosmic King reporting for duty and bringing you the offer of a lifetime!

As you might imagine, we all love Urusei Yatsura since it has that delicious Old School flavor that always put a smile on our faces, but, where else can we get this flavor with something extra for good measure?

You might wanna try at BakaBT or the like but tonight I am proud to give you one bodacious site who has earned my respect (Heck, I have become one of their proofreaders) and which I think you might enjoy as well

I give you Hokuto no Gun (http://www.hokutonogun.com/)

Believe it or not but this is the Motherland of Manliness

Their exquisite repertoire gathers the most epic old school animes/mangas that have ever existed as well as the great works of Tetsuo Hara, an epic artist that you might remember as been one of Rumiko Takahashi`s pals and creator of this masterpiece

Need more reasons to give them a look?

Hokuto no Gun will guarantee you the chance of becoming into living legends

I am pretty sure you will enjoy your visit to the Motherland of Manliness and always remember these golden words that define Hokuto no Gun : "Macte animo! Generose puer sic itur ad astra" ("Cheer up, Young Ones! Behold the path towards the Heavens!")

Hokuto no Gun is a very good fansub indeed. They released Hokuto no Ken (which is where their name comes from) with a very good quality. But from them, I only know HNK. There are good releases from HNG, exept for HNK?

There are others fansubs that are focused on old school anime also, for example, Msubs, or Anime-FanRips.

Msubs released Getter Robo and Getter Robo G (from Go Nagai). I'd recommend both for old school mecha lovers / gatchaman lovers.

A-FanRips is more about old school action anime, like Baoh, Devilman or Violence Jack.

Anime old school is the best!  ;D

nice that alot of ppl do subs for the animes but i hate how the manga counter parts aren't usually translated and if they were they get dropped half way D:
