This is a great movie that takes place afterAfro Samurai (Director's Cut). The story is almost as good as the 5 episode Afro Samurai series. With a lot of action, blood and violence as the first. I like the art style of Takashi Okazaki. His style and his way of getting into animation makes me think of a more serious and japanese version of Jhonen Vasques, the creater of johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Invader Zim.
