You don’t see Samurai Champloo’s explosive fight animations here. Most of the animation are mouth movements and small head movements. However, all these detail makes for very stiff animation. You even see the weave of the floor mats.
This story is where most of Shigurui takes place. Just as they were about the attack we are thrust into their back story.
They obviously knew each other as they entered their sword stances ( which amazing the onlookers….even though the blind man’s stance involves stabbing his own foot). We meet the main characters short after: the blind swordsman Seigen and the one-armed swordsman Fujiki. I shrugged it off and continued watching. I was expecting violence, but this was a bit much. To illustrate his point of what will happen to these promising young swordsman he reaches into his own seppuku wound and pulls out his guts. In one of the opening scenes a Daiymo’s advisor pleads with the lord not to hold a competition with real swords. Shigurui: Death Frenzy is deathly serious, but I wasn’t expecting reach-into-your-stomach-and-pull-out-your-own-intestines serious.
