Blade of the immortal is a short 13 episode anime about an immortal samurai who because of past evil deeds must kill 100 evil men to free himself of this curse. So he meets this girl, and the two form a sort of friendship/partnership as he helps kill these evil men for her. The art is pretty decent though it feels right for the anime. You get a whole kind of classic feel from it. It takes place during samurai times japan so i suppose anywhere before 1868. The story really is simple, but it has elements of good and evil and a story thatis entertaining enough to keep your interest. It's pretty dark and serious, bloody and gory it's the perfect anime for a guy. All it needs is boobs and i think i would give it a 8. But alas, i think it is a 7/10. Still good, and i think its worth checking out. You certainty wont be disappointed.
