"what is a human? A miserable pile of little secrets!" -quote not relevant haha, that was just a gag, now here's my review for this movie: when i watched the trailer, I knew I was going to be hooked in to this movie, and after I watched it, I was never disappointed and quickly became one of my most favorite anime movie of all time. Asura takes us to a medieval era in japan where famine is widespread and everyone struggles to eat and survive, and among those people, there was a child who was human in appearance but has primal instincts like that of a wild animal. Throughhis journey, however, he was able to witness how human beings interact and began to waver from his animalistic path towards the path of being a human.

After finishing the movie itself, I was dumbstruck at how well written the whole story was. The concept was very dark, genius and intriguing at times. The movie itself questions us of what really makes us humans or are we willing to give up our own humanity in order to survive in this cruel world.

Awesome, brilliant and dark, I highly recommend this movie to those who love dark stories and those concerning human virtues.
