With breathtaking animation that keeps you at the edge of your seat, this classic tale from Studio BONES is a hidden gem of its time.

Set in feudal-era Japan, a young boy named Kotaro and his faithful dog Tobimaru are caught in the turmoil of a grim prophecy. At the request of the Ming Dynasty's aging emperor, the boy is pursued by a band of formidable Chinese assassins. After escaping the destruction of the temple that took him in, he runs into No Name, a mysterious stranger who gets pulled into the chase.

When Kotaro's dog is poisoned, No Name reluctantly accepts payment to escort them to a temple in Shirato. The unlikely companions form a bond over saving Tobimaru's life, but unrest is brewing all around them. The Chinese assassins clash with the local lord as they build a religious tower, and a blond-haired, bloodthirsty swordsman among them seeks a worthy opponent. Chaos erupts when the assassins find Kotaro, and No Name must face his past before a horrible fate is met again.

Orgie

Written on 04. July 2011 by Zoé.
This customer review refers to a alternative version.

Hier müssen alle drei Minuten die Wände mit Blut vollgespritzt sein. Brutalität reiht sich an Brutalität, Gemeinheit an Gemeinheit. Sogar das Kind muss obergarstig sein - das friedlichste ist noch der Hund. 'Wird ganz zu unrecht mit 'Ghost in the Shell' oder 'Akira' verglichen, die hatten doch noch ganz anderes zu bieten. Da mag der zeichnerische Stil und die Kulisse noch so toll sein, diesem Streifen fehlt eindeutig das weibliche (ausgleichende) Element: Nur grossgekotzte Männer die ihr Eisen im Blut tunchen - eine echt öde Orgie.
wunderbar
