Manga Entertainment
-From Rage Quitter 87's Fist of the North Star site

Manga Entertainment is a producer, licensor and distributor of anime in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia and New Zealand. Manga's first Fist of the North Star release would be when they released the movie on video in the United Kingdom in 1994 -almost 10 years on since the movie was originally released in Japan. The company later started to release part of the anime series on DVD, with a new English dub.


List of Manga Entertainment Fist of the North Star video releases:
Unfortunately, I have never owned the Manga Entertainment videos for the anime series, but I know they only cover the first chapter of the anime (22 episodes in total). My guess is that most tapes will have three episodes each on them, but one will have four. The videos of the anime series feature a new English dub along with new background music.

The DVDs were released in the UK and USA, the covers here are the UK versions as those are the ones I own and could scan the covers for, I believe there are different covers in the USA.
