When you describe the assassins you are literally describing the hashassins. And you’re kind of right about addiction, you are only addicted to air, water and food, in that order. Everything else is a choice, even ghandi would argue food is a choice, but nukes aren’t.

Sword of the Stranger has one of the best sword fighting scenes in all of cinema. That final fight is spectacular. I thought it was a good movie overall but that fight is down right amazing.

One of the absolute best anime in all of anime history, up there with Ninja Scroll in the "best swordfights choreography" department. Great catch for Nanashi trying to keep his sword warm, I never paid attention to that detail (and I've watched this movie 4 time already). As an animator myself, however, one thing that I DID notice was how Nanashi NEVER breathes during any of his fights. He simply has no time to catch his breath. The only time he exhales is once the fight is over and he confirmed his opponent is either gone or dead. And each time all throughout the movie, due to the fights getting more and more gruesome, you can see his catching his breath getting heavier and heavier.
I'm not sure that is correct, i may be wrong here so don't worry about re-correcting me but isn't nanashi doing something more akin to hyperventilating, lots of quick, short, even spaced (very important) breaths so as to pump the muscles up with oxygen and to make sure that he doesn't have a moment when he has to 'catch his breath' from not breathing, or possibly worse still that he hasn't calibrated his breathing and could be forced to do an in breath when trying to block a particularly heavy blow and therefore end up being weaker against it?
@@jjstarrprod are you dense? Firstly, that's how good entertainment is made, it's the little things and people always spot things that aren't accurate so making it accurate isn't 'DEEP' by any means, it's the bear minimum and if you don't even know that your animation career is going to fail. Plus my point was the inverse of yours, instead of saying there was less breathing, I said more. In what way is that too deep, it's the same level. Unbelievable.
@@jjstarrprod are you going to try and make some ridiculous argument that fortunately for you proves that you are correct because you are an animator and you have been shown the secret texts of animation whereas by due of not being an animator I am therefore wrong. Clown.
I absolutely loved this anime. Up there as one of my all time favorites. I completely missed out on the warming up of the sword steel part, thank you for this.
To anyone reading this comment who has not watched Sword of the Stranger; Go watch it first, don't spoil anything for yourself. This is one of the greatest works of animation ever created.
Innocent child. Royal descent. Hunted by an emperor. Kept in a monastery. Betrayed by one of his closest friends. His blood holds the key to eternal life. Gets crucified. Former soldier becomes his servant, gets baptized by him, finds salvation. There are a ton of other parallels but you can sum up the whole movie as "kid Jesus meets ronin".
I once heard a panel from the president of Studio Bones Masahiko Minami where he told that the Movie was made out of a Labor of Love with no real commercial interest. It was to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. The used the money the made from their TV Series over the years to make the best possible movie they could make.
Don't EVER play a "flying insect"sound effect that fades from left to right again. With full knowledge it was a sound effect, I almost involuntarily beat the crap out of my neck, and the back of my head. 🫨🫨🫨
I like how you slipped that little music sample from Yasuke in there. All of you should check out Flying Lotus and the rest of the artists on his record label, Brainfeeder!
You should make video about tower of gods and the Toaru series there both underrated and there is no one really talks about them when there both amazing they probably make a good video 🙃
If you hadn't done such a good job getting me hyped to buy this film, i might've had the scrip to throw at your compelling patreon pitch... Catch-22. Another great film in a mad and unfair world.
Youre the only channel that made me qenuinely laugh. Keep up the good work. Ive watched all your videos, its a bit shame tho that you only apload new vid every couple of months
RUclips gave up on notifying me that he released a vid, now I have to search his dumbass up just to watch a vid of his. Hopefully he changes his ways 😂
Easily one of my top 5 movies ever: live action, anime, hallucinations, whatever. I LOVE this movie. I will watch it for the rest of my life. I will pass it on to my grandkids if they're worthy.
You can tell the plot doesn't give a shit towards the end. The guy who had great ambition dies unceremoniously, the side characters die, the villains with motive dies, the only ones left are the 2 leads and the guy just looking for a sick fight. If the fights and visuals weren't so good it'd be pretentious. Since they are that good it feels good to see even the writer bdeliberately set fire to the entire pretense and give us a good clean epic final battle. "You know why you're here, I know why you're here, enjoy." I thought Kotaro is fine. Seems to be a trend where if a kid is even remotely non-compliant or bratty it's some deal breaker. He acted appropriate to his situation and he was likable.
I'm wondering if all this plot buildup to burn them all down one by one to keep only the 2 simplest characters clashing with each other was not a meta comment from the writers on the state of anime of the 2000, with lot of series having overcomplicated plots that went nowhere and ended with some endless Talk no Jutsu. This movie kinda spits on that very concept by mounting a fairly convoluted plot with lot of diverging characters... before dispatching them all to only leave the 2 purest characters at the end. I always thought it was interesting the movie opens with the final boss Rarou's showcasing his bloody crimson tornado style on these poor bandits BEFORE even introducing Nanashi, who happens to be the 3rd important character (4th if you count the dog) to appear onscreen. It's almost as if Rarou was presented as the main protag, and then the movie pulls a 180° on you by introducing the actual main character, well past 10-15 minutes in the movie.
THAT WAS WHY HE WAS DOING IT??? TO NOT BREAK THE BLADE??? Ive seen yhat seen like 37 times and i never realized. People said he needed to heat up his hands or something, but it was to keep the blade from breaking. Genius.

I never noticed that about ice & metal. That’s such a beautiful detail.
This anime easily has one of the greatest sword fights ever. I'm glad ppl are still talking about it!
Agreed! It still holds up incredibly well.
Yutaka nakamura's best work ever, in my opinion.
it's one of my 10/10 anime's (out of 3 total and the other two are series)

not one of, but the best
sadly it is just one movie not an anime

Ty
Thanks a bunch man
The fact that you use Samurai Champloo tracks when you explain certain points in this video is just so dope yo.
I absolutely loved this anime. Up there as one of my all time favorites. I completely missed out on the warming up of the sword steel part, thank you for this.
Ok, since I'm dumb I think I'm going to need a full movie breakdown so I could go over things I might have missed

Gonna check it out thx 👍
I like your humor and timing. 🎉 Keep it up, dude.
he is aliveeeeee
wait no he is a skeleton
wait he's named No Bones so what would he be
just happy to have you back
I am a voice in your head, you are schizophrenic
@@nobonesHow did you know that I’m in your head?
This and Afro Samurai had that foreign theme about it and i liked it.
Yay! I Hope you're gonna make more content, man.
What I can't get over is just how fucking CLEAN the line work is for a 2007 anime, it makes a lot of other "movie anime" look like shit IMHO
“Your money will not be going to a good cause.”
If I had money I would give it to you, cause at least you’re honest
i am so glad you are back. fucking HIGHLY underrated channel. uberdanger and sssseth vibes from the script in this one g. love it

This film was so badass i only remember the fight scenes.
This anime is a gem... hardcore samurai action
Ah, I remember watching this in the anime club back around 2011. Was ok. Nice use of the Samurai Champloo soundtrack here too.
6:03 holy crap this is one of my all time favorite movies that I've seen 1000x and i never noticed that 😮
Show don't tell is so powerful in media. I very much appreciate when fight scenes aren't 3 episodes long with 5 flashbacks.
The weird thing is I think I saw this one a long time ago and in my mind I could have sworn it was a live action movie.
The psych degree joke got me
Looks pretty interesting and deep...you convinced me,I'll watch it
"Listening country music on my Spotify" that dude have some good taste
1:07 oof. Hits too close to home LOL
I like your style, but your videos lack some sort of punchyness. Other than that, I like how you always have the right opinion.
Punchyness as in enthusiasm? Do you think the voiceover might be the problem?
@NoBones your ending was very abrupt and feels like an unfinished script. I thought your comedy and voice were on point though.
Man that was actully astounding about the fire, im a butcher by trade on average my blade would be 43f and.i can tell ya it.does effecf its rigidity.
I totally missed him keeping his sword warm😅
I wonder why bro doesn't upload
A.- bro became a cupcake purchaser

That last line made me subscribe. Nice content.
Probably the best ad transition i've watched.
Is the premise inspired by the story that china tried to make a sort of immortality potion and ended up making gunpowder which is ironic
5:13 That made me laugh for a minute

6:28 The nearby orphans will not be sleeping peacefully today
Thank god my money wouldn't go to a good cause, you had me worried for a second.
sword of the stranger video in 2024 im living
the fact he said youre money wont be going to a good cause made me want to support him
"Addiction isn't real"
*quiet yet loud cs case opening*
for some strange reason, I hope we get a sequel for this movie.
Ending with the Uncle Ruckas theme in the background. Now that is taste I can support!
No one talks about this flick, solid choice.
5:15 "the average anime consumer is pre-pubescent or attracted to them" lmaoo I fckng laugh hard at this
I once watched Sword of the Stranger 2 times on the same flight to Japan, only hours apart. That's how awesome it is at peak.
I like how you slipped that little music sample from Yasuke in there. All of you should check out Flying Lotus and the rest of the artists on his record label, Brainfeeder!
I wasn’t looking at the video when the fly sounds at 3:04 played and it kinda freaked me out for a second. I was looking around for the fly in my room
Bones I've missed you please come back 😭✌️💔
You should make video about tower of gods and the Toaru series there both underrated and there is no one really talks about them when there both amazing they probably make a good video 🙃
no matter how shit the video is, if it's sharing more love for Sword of the Stranger, you get a like, a comment, and a subscribe.
"your money will not go to a good cause" this is how you do a patreon plug. Made me genuinely laugh. Sorry bro, I'm broke too^^
Loved this Anime, i raised a little boy my nephew for.8 years and it made me think about him alot.
yo bro whats the song in the background that starts from 4:55 ? i feel like ive heard it before

Thought this was a Scamboli video till I checked the channel afterwards
My man out here with the best patreon come on ever lmao
Honestly I think of this as an anime lone samurai version of the old film Shane.
This is a beautiful movie with amazing action. Everything else is icing on the cake.
i loved every moment of this movie. but that shiba tho such a awesome dog.
I came across Sword of the stranger through Dororo and Oh boy!! Was I grateful!! This movie is like an entire series, definitely give it a watch!!
For me this was easily the best Anime I ever saw... That last sword fight was epic....!!!
man just found your channel fucking subscribed like crazy when i heard your humour
You sold me on that patreon, unfortunatelly I have no money to give to bad causes, or money in general.
5:15 caught me so off-guard lmao
It’s crazy how I subscribed so fast bc how funny this shit was
Loved the pace of this video and the humor. I'm not paying though. I'll be back to watch others, however. Take care.
This reminds me of Moribito which is similar but just enough different to be its own thing
The fighting in the movie is really good.
Why does RUclips not suggest Anime channels like this until after They stuff me with Anime channels I don't want them
Pacing reminds me of SsethTzeentach which is a bonus in my book.
"considering that the average anime consumer is either prepubescent or attracted to them" 💀💀💀💀💀💀
i would like to see a video about jormungand its a old anime about guns / cartel type
