Wow, what a physically beautiful film. Is Onmyoji II in the same league?Also, any info on why Zatoichi #14 (Zatoichi's Pilgrimmage) has not been released on DVD?
Follow Ups:
Hi Steve,Onmyoji II is even better than the first film (both story and effects). The disk comes with a "making of" dvd (no subs on this disk) which also has some visits to historical places used in the film, and a pewter pentagram charm. Very nice, though 6000 yen is a bit more than most of us are used to paying for a disk. This one deals with the Susano-Amaterasu legend told of in the "Record of Ancient Matters" and a conflict between the Yamato and the people of Izumo (deeper mix of history and ancient Shinto legend)
Don't know what is with Zatoichi 14, have to check with AnimEigo about that. http://www.animeigo.com/Samurai/ZATOICHI.t#1 The earlier films were released by Home Vision Entertainment Maybe it got lost between the two distributors???
I order stuff at yesasia.com or wherever, though you need a region-free player to view them.
