Sword of the Stranger


Totally and absolutely amazing!!!

Yet another anime going into my "Favorite anime" list. And this is hands down one of the better ones. Okay, i may be a bit biased in my review. I seem to have a soft spot for feudal-era, sword-wielding, samurai-fighting, action-packed anime (remember Rurouni Kenshin, Seirei no Moribito??). However, in terms of blood and gore, this movie comes out top among its class. You'd love it - if blood and death are your thing that is.

Anyway, kudos to Bones for going through great pains showing off all those gruesome details - arrows shooting through a person's head, arms chopped off, etc etc... (did i mention lots and lots of gooey blood??).The impressive sword-fighting scenes were especially fun for me because it managed to fulfill my morbid obsession with that deep red thing flowing through the human body. Hahahaha. Nah, i'm kidding. I was squirming most of the time. =P

Obviously not a movie for kids .
But if you're 18 and above, don't miss it!
