BONES studio (those who brought you FMA) has a trailer as well as other goodies for Masahiro Ando’s Sword of the Stranger posted on their website. You can find swag, bios, and other clips of the long awaited, sword slashing film.
“The story is set in the Senkoku period. The gist of the plot is that a ronin 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. Nanashi has ‘sealed’ his sword due to some reason in his past, and sometimes he is disturbed by nightmares. He has abandoned his name along with his past. The man who pursues Kotarou is a man called Rarou. Rarou obeys an old man called Byakuran and is a membr of the Chinese militia. He is very skilled in his sword and it seems from his eye and hair colours that he is not just a Chinese. Unlike his companions in the militia, he has no concept of ‘king’ and he just wants to fight with the strong.”
Sword of the Stranger opens Sept. 29 in Japan.
