Sword of the Stranger

[Munsu]

Well, here's a raw and some subs for the movie:

Here's another release, not sure if it's a raw only or if it's subbed. I believe it's subbed:
http://legendadds.com/animeddl/tracker/torrents/[AnimeDDL][Q-R]Sword_Of_The_Stranger(h.264)(DVD)[74B7E4C2].mkv.torrent

The story is set in the Senkoku period. A rounin called Nanashi (meaning 'nameless') saves a young boy Kotarou and his dog Tobimaru at an abandoned temple. Kotarou has no family, is pursued by a mysterious militia organization from China and hires Nanashi as his bodyguard. Amongst the men who pursue Kotarou is a man called Rarou, a very skilled warrior with blond hair and blue eyes. He obeys an old man called Byakuran and is a member of the Chinese militia. Unlike his companions in the militia, he isn't serving any Emperor and just wants to fight with the strong.

I believe the third torrents a raw. [Q-R] I believe stands for Quality Raws.

Guess I'll download the first two torrents to check this out. Haven't watched an anime movie in awhile.

Yes, Q-R are raws, but this version is subbed... that's why it has another group name in front of it. Probably got some ssa and muxed the Q-R raw with it. Just checked it; had to confirm it myself.

[animus]

Oh, thought it was just some torrent tracker addition like how Anirena does to their stuff since it said AnimeDDL

[Munsu]

Thought the same thing myself, but as there was some ssa running around before that torrent was posted, then I suspected that it already had some subs in it.

Now, which subs do they have muxed together? Because of a v2 of a script that was going around came out after that torrent was done, so there could be some better subs than the ones that included on the release. The first link I posted should have those subs, so if anything you could use that since the raw should be the same anyways.

[Shadow Skill]

Watched the movie, pretty decent.

[Atheist]

Thanks for the links

I liked this movie. Simple enough story for a movie, pretty cool characters who mostly knew what they wanted and weren't emo. I always like especially those character who only single-mindedly want to fight. They usually have the least crap of all kinds of characters and quickly get to the point. The art was also pleasant. In short nothing wrong with it.

pretty decent movie...it was a nice fix for my samurai genre craving.

Lovely movie - awesome deaths, light on story. What could be better? Ending's a little ambiguous though. . .

[Darknodin]

pretty good movie. I recommend this to anyone liking the genre.

[KrayZ33]

*Very* nice movie... one of the best, if not *the* best, I've seen so far.

[Buffalobiian]

I just saw this myself (the torrent's been sitting there for 6 months). As everybody said before, very enjoyable movie, uncomplicated, and nicely animated. Boy learns to get along with people, man learns a lesson from his past. The Chinese was a little hard to understand, but I think I got used to their accent by the end of it. Though they mainly used the same theme over and over, it sounded grand/epic enough that it doesn't feel "cheap".

Of course, for maximum enjoyment, HD is a must

This movie was great, I loved it, truly inspirational .

[Munsu]

Finally decided to watch this movie. It was great... it's been some years since I've watched a Ninja Scroll samurai type of movie, and this didn't disappoint. The action was great, and the characters were well done.

They could easily make a sequel of it, since the Emperor is surely still after the kid.

[Buffalobiian]

If they do, I'd want to see a female lead in there somewhere. It's probably the only thing it's missing, and they'll need a new relationship to develop on anyway.

I think they can work something out... maybe the princess can form part of the story somehow.

[Pandadice]

oh, i watched this a couple weeks ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a very nice movie.

I watched the Thora bluray rip.

[Inazuma]

Watched Thora, plain awesome.
