SWORD OF THE STRANGER

I JUST GOT BACK FROM THIS ONE NIGHT EVENT
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IV SEEN.
FROM THE MAKERS OF COWBOY BEBOP COMES
THE EPIC SWORD OF THE STRANGER..

Kotarou, a boy on the run from the royal army of China's Ming dynasty, happens upon a wandering samurai with no name. Kotarou doesn't particularly want No-Name's help, but when his trusty dog Tobimaru is injured in an assault, he's left with little choice but to hire him as a bodyguard. The two form an uneasy friendship (the kid is a total brat!), and the Chinese army joins with the local feudal lord to pursue the boy, with the intent of using his blood to create a medicine that would grant eternal life. The battle heats up when No-Name has to battle some of China's strongest warriors, and in the process, tries to overcome the guilt of a past he's left behind.
