Summary:
The story begins in 1629 Shizuoka during Tokugawa Tadanaga's rule. The daimyo staged a tournament where the participants fought with real steel Japanese swords rather than bokken ("wooden sword"), against his vassals' strong objection. The story revolves around the first match between the one-armed swordsman Fujiki Gennosuke and the blind samurai Irako Seigen and deals with the circumstances that led the two to participate in Tokugawa's tournament.
I HAD SEEN ALL SAMURAI ANIME BEFORE WATCHING THIS GREAT ANIME.
AND AFTER WATCHING SHIGURUI ALL OF OTHER SAMURAI ANIME SEEMED TO ME AS TRASH .
THE DIRCTOR IS CERTAINLY A GENIUS . AND I HAVE ALREADY SEEN ONE OF HIS MASTERPIECES , TEXHENOLYZE .
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 YEARS FOR A SECOND SEASON . I STILL HOPE THERE WILL BE ONE .
I TRIED TO READ THE REST OF THE STORY IN THE MANGA . BUT COULD NOT CONTINIE READING IT , BECAUSE THE DRAWINGS WERE A FAILURE AND THE THE DESIGHNS OF CHARACTERS CHILDISH A LITTLE COMPARED TO THE ANIME .
ON THE CONTRARY , BLADE OF IMMORTAL MANGA IS BETTER THAN THE ANIME .
