Plot Summary: A small village is being persecuted by robbers who return every harvest to seize the village’s crops. Faced with starvation, the villagers send out a mission to find and recruit some samurai to defend them. With no pay to offer except rice, and knowing full well that only down-on-their-luck samurai would even consider accepting such an deal, the villagers can only hope that their saviours will appear before the rice is ready for harvest.

You get pulled in by the story of these Samurai, at a time when there no longer were real Samurai. A Samurai isn’t someone who can just weild a sword but someone with honor and strength of character. This anime is nothing short of fantastic and it draws you in with the attention to detail, great sound track, fantastic character development and so much more. Its a great combination of CGI and animation to make a very beautiful anime to view, and the story line keeps you wanting more. I was mesmorized by this anime and I couldn’t stop watching it. It was one of those anime’s that I was saddened that it had come to an end and I really wanted to see more. For an anime it was very realistic, and their were parts where you wish it didn’t happen but thats how reality is, somethings are out of your control. I can’t recommend it enough to any anime fan, it will appeal to all.
