There is something in the movie that surprisingly touches the human heart that I really wish for Nanase to survive since all of his efforts to save the child will be futile should he die & considering the harshness of society at that period in time the child will be canon fodder. maybe the creators of the movie would like to consider making a sequel? Or it’s possible that they really deliberately left the ending hanging with a sequel in mind the same as with Ninja scroll. I hope that a sequel is already in the works because I loved the characters both Kotaro & Nanashi because they both reminded me of parts in my life & character.

He survived the small battle, a long intense run through the snow, a tower falling on him, more intense battling, a huge fall, a ‘boss battle’… They had better not kill him horseback riding. Plus they played up that the green/jade? treasure saveing him…. I don’t want him to die, he was to cool of a character to die. But it was an open ending, so if you wanted him to die; he did, and if you didn’t want him to die; he didn’t. Though in my mind characters that I love never die, no matter what the creator says. ^^

I think he dies. In fact, I *want* him to die. If he survives, it just makes him this overpowered superhero-level guy. And that takes out the fun in things.

Awesome movie. Just-as-awesome review =D
(Of the four five reviews I’ve read for this movie, yours was the most profound and I agreed with it most =)

Now what I’m really wondering is whether /you/ think Nanashi died or not. I’ve watched the ending few minutes dozens of times and I think he did. Tell me he didn’t!

This movie had gone completely under the radar for me.

Thus, I am HUGELY GRATEFUL to Ocha! for making me aware of it.

Awesome fucking movie. Best anime action flick I’ve seen in years.
