Action packed samurai movie from BONES. Delicious visual quality with action scenes that actually engage you for once(From interview "Another aspect was not just to cut with the sword, but to almost crush or to really push or rip apart with the sword-different kinds of textures in the sword action"). The most pronounce fun quirk it has is that the language of the Chinese chars is Japanese when they speak to each other, but is Chinese when being heard by the Japanese chars-benefit for the Japanese movie audience.

An interview of the director, who was involved in Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, Rahxephon, and FMA, reveals the painstaking research and mind-splitting thought given to the movie; such care is commonly found in high caliber anime.

Main char reminds me a lot of Kenshin Himura look wise. No angsting, but there is an annoying little kid.

Thanks for the heads up.
Somehow I completely missed it and it seems interesting enough to watch.
