Newgrounds Staff Comment:Not stolen!

Created this in inspiration after watching Kill Bill's...this is not meant to be a trailer for anything, just an atmospheric movie creating somewhat the spirit of the Samurai¸.·'´¯ƒ)

"kick ass"

date: March 26, 2008

I gotta say that for the times that i watched it, all i could think about were the old Akira Kurosawa films. it was very well done amazing style. unfortuanlty i felt it was to short but then again a true battle of swords will never last a long time...unless its in anime lol.

Author's Response:

WoW! Thank You...

It really takes someone with heart to actually understand the movie...a lot of people don't look at things from an art perspective and are looking do razzle dazzled with graphics...sometimes you just don't need them, you know :)

thanks for the review...

"Wellll...."

date: January 1, 2007

It looked cool.But I couldn't hear anything cause i'm using a computer with no speakers attached right now,I'll watch it with sound later.Maybe with sound it'll make sense,so far it looks to me like some samurai guys are just sittin' around and then somebody
comes in and they slice him up...probably the pizza delivery...D'oh.

Author's Response:

thanks for the review...

you're right, re-watch it witht the sound turned up, this is definitely an atmosphere piece and the sound is probably like 70% of the movie...

no plot, if you understand a warriors spirit, this will make perfect sense to you...

"Capturing the spirit."

date: August 8, 2006

Though brief, I feel that what you lacked in length was made up for with the artistic quality that you displayed here. Interestingly enough, I also got an "anime" vibe from this. The light flash exposing the first samurai reminded me of Kenshin (from Rurouni Kenshin). I don't know if that was intentional, or accidental. Either way, it didn't subtract from what you were going for, which I feel is a personal vision of what the "Spirit of the Samurai" represents.

Fast and vibrant, strong animation and bold coloring -- I believe you captured the spirit pretty well. ;)

Author's Response:

thank you...everything you say is true...

I regret that this is a short piece, but it's message is still present...

thanks for the kind review...
