140 years ago in Kyoto, with the coming of the American "Black Ships," there arose a warrior who, felling men with his bloodstained blade, gained the name Hitokiri , man slayer! His killer blade helped close the turbulent Bakumatsu era and slashed open the progressive age known as Meiji . Then he vanished, and with the flow of years, became legend.

Il y a 140 ans à Kyoto, avec l'arrivée des "Black Ships" américains, surgit un guerrier qui, abattant des hommes avec sa lame ensanglantée, gagna le nom de Hitokiri, tueur d'hommes ! Sa lame tueuse a contribué à clore l'ère turbulente du Bakumatsu et à ouvrir l'ère progressive connue sous le nom de Meiji. Puis il a disparu et, au fil des années, est devenu une légende.

Michael Eh?

I must admit this is more than just HD remake of a classic, you can tell by simply stopping a frame and looking at it, the animators took their time and skill. Sadly due to recent checkered history of it's author, I'm afraid the story will be tarnished by it's author's human frailty.
