Bromance transcends death...

Really I think the ending was like when they bury the monster on an horror movie and the final shot is his hands raising from the ground.... so the guy was revived and last sentence was that being human was too boring, so he is going full monster again

After watching this I realize how short Berserk and Naruto could had been. If it was a 12 episode 25 min Anime then it would have been solid with it's own fan following.

i would argue this was quite similar to berserk.. it could be a possibility that miura was inspired by this... good watch for an old ova and a unique setting for that time as well.

It was okay. I respect that it obviously influenced Berserk and even has an influence in Ooku. Though that's it. It needed to breathe. The OVA is too short. Perhaps the manga will be better.

Never saw a seahorse quite like that one.

Far less atmospheric and more hopeful than the first part, the final comes with lots of monsters, the usual trope of women held as hostages and a rather anticlimatic, rushed confrontation. Still, it remains a compelling and dark story of japanese mythology, war and bromance with great retro vibes and outstanding animation. Wishing this new ninja family a happy life together.

watching, waiting, commiserating
