Sword of the Stranger
7.9MOVIE · 1 eps · 2007
Sword of the Stranger streams on Crunchyroll. A gorgeous, ferociously animated samurai film, it pairs a nameless ronin with a hunted boy and his dog — and builds to some of the finest swordfight animation ever put to screen.
About
A young boy on the run from a group of Ming swordsmen who want him for a dark ritual crosses paths with a wandering, sword-for-hire ronin who has sworn off killing. A wary deal for protection slowly hardens into something like trust, even as pursuers close in from every direction. It's a lean, propulsive chase built around a simple bond, and it exists mostly to earn its jaw-dropping final duel — which it absolutely does.
