No Name is a ronin who abandoned his name in troubled times, and who vowed to never unsheathe his sword again. Luo-Lang is a blond-haired, blue-eyed Western assassin working for the Ming Dynasty who feels something is missing from his life. No Name and Luo-Lang are destined to clash, as the only thing they believe in is their swordsmanship. These two strangers meet when a mysterious young boy named Kotaro enters their lives. They kill, and kill some more, in a blazing display of Japanese sword action, and ultimately find that they share a common destiny. This high-quality Japanese animated film features both dynamic action and delicate drama. (Madman Entertainment)

Sword of the Stranger is simply a treat for a lover of action-packed anime movies. The visuals are awesome, as is the soundtrack. The fight scenes are simply breathtaking; although one weak point is the narrative, the story is pretty weak. However, this is not meant to be an epic novel, so who cares. The moment we get to know the main male protagonist Nanashi and the main antagonist Rarou, the final confrontation is something to really look forward to. 9/10.
