The story is set in the Senkoku period. The gist of the plot is that a ronin called Nanashi (meaning 'nameless') saves a young boy Kotarou and his dog Tobimaru at an abandoned temple. Kotarou has no family, is pursued by a mysterious militia organization from China and hires Nanashi as his bodyguard. Nanashi has 'sealed' his sword due to some reason in his past, and sometimes he is disturbed by nightmares. He has abandoned his name along with his past. The man who pursues Kotarou is a man called Rarou. Rarou obeys an old man called Byakuran and is a membr of the Chinese militia. He is very skilled in his sword and it seems from his eye and hair colours that he is not just a Chinese. Unlike his companions in the militia, he has no concept of 'king' and he just wants to fight with the strong.

All I can say about is that it's one of the best anime movies I have seen in a while. If you're into samurai anime, I think you'll enjoy this.

I've been looking for a decent anime movie to watch for a while. Man, this movie looks epic. Any chance anybody knows where I can find a .avi torrent for this movie? .Mkv files tend to have a audio/visual lag on my piece of shit computer.

[uni]

I liked it a lot. It was badass! haha Ppl gettin owned in the face with axes and arrows. >.< Great story, great action scenes, great animation overall. :]

[Gojira]

*Wants a dog like Tobimaru*

Yeah, I loved this movie. The characters are well developed. There's a great story and action but most of all the music was outstanding. I loved the power behind it especially in the final fight scene. It was most pwnage indeed.

[Cassie]

Time to start discussions :P

After watching it, I find it to be more fitting as an OVA than a movie. There's not much character development, and we don't get much background information. For example, what about Kotaro that makes him so special? Why did they have to go to Japan to build the alter. How did the Ming people find out about Kotaro? Who is Nanashi? How is he so strong? Who is Rarou? A lot of these details are skipped over, which is absolutely fine for an insert arc, or an OVA, but not fine for a movie.

However, the action is great :P

Agreed i've watched it twice and find myself wondering the same thing, i would love them to make a series out of this, i really want to see what they become and how nanashi developed his skills to what they are, i also want to see if kotaro learns skills from nanashi!

[Gojira]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I think what I liked most about this movie was the relationship built between Kotaro and Nanashi. It would be interesting to see a series bud from this movie where we can learn more about this characters.

QFT. I would definitely go watch the series if they were released. The movie rocked, I'm going to give it 5/5. Music, animation, plot, characters etc... were just spectacular.

I really hope they release episodes so we can learn more about these characters.
