Blade of the Immortal combines samurai action, superb storyline and unique artwork that captures the intricate character designs and backgrounds. Hiroaki Samura's tale of an immortal samurai, Manji, on his quest of killing 1,000 evil men is definitely not for the faint of heart. Even with all the blood and guts spilled, you definitely have to appreciate the life-like and uniquely-detailed artwork of Hiroaki Samura. The Blade of the Immortal anime idea was solicited to Samura and was ultimately rejected. Samura believes that his art and special style would not translate well if it was to be animated. Blade of the Immortal fans all agree that his unique style is one of a kind that is not to be duplicated.
