I saw this movie at IMAX on Feb 5 of last year and i absolutely fell in love with it. And I don't even watch anime.

It was so beautifully animated and crisp, and the storyline grew on me. Im glad the japanese still pratice 2D animation then the lazy american way of 3D animation.

Kudos to this film

Damn that was only 3 mins. Most epic 3 mins ever.

There are so many little things in this scene that make it wonderful. The snow was beautiful touch, also the way they both lose footing constantly. I especially like how in 1:44-1:47 the background changes to show that almost he got stabbed in the face.If you pause it you'll see that his ear was sliced in half instead. Of course this was a man who had been running all day and night, climbing on top of buildings, had multiple structures collapse on him, just to reach a fight. Talk about fatigue..

whz da name of the song?

@Mariose123 Then explain the "Ashita Joe" esque shot in the end, showing him collapse into the horse and the bright light illuminating him as his blood dripped onto the ground.

[Mariose123]

@Tsukasamacleod mmmm he survived?

[MutantPickle1337]

@kuromaru15 the jade slab thing saved him, but Nanashi probably would have easily beaten Raroh as he was greatly injured and still fought as an equal against him

[Tsukasamacleod]

@kuromaru15 The movie seemed to imply that Nanashi won because of his connection to Kotarou. He kept the Jade slab despite discovering that it was worthless, and in the end it protected him (Though I maintain he still died in the very end, but that's irrelevant) While Raroh (HNK spelling, it still counts) had no connections to anyone else, and died as a result. That was the greatest aspect of this film: The symbolism.

[kuromaru15]

This fight removed the notion that Japanese sword styles are better than Chinese sword styles and vise-versa. Nanashi won against Rarou since he was the better fighter in the split second of the fight.

This movie is amazing, highly recommend anyone who likes anime watches it.

I've seen tons of sword fight scenes both animated and live action, and this tops them all! Best ever! (in my experience. awesome music, awesome animation, and a classic story.)
