I liked the anime quite a lot but as with a fair amount of them it seemed like the ending was rushed. Up to the end it was great, a bit bloody but that should be expected with a name like Blade of the Immortal. I would assume (though I have not read the manga) that this is only about half way through the story, maybe a bit more maybe a bit less. I will not say more as I don't want to give spoilers. But I would search out the manga for an ending, I will do so myself. Though it is a great anime and I would highly suggest checking it out!

I have all three DVDs that have been released so far. I must admit as a fan of the novels and comics, which I have also collected, I was concerned the story would be distorted. However, along with amazing animation, great voice acting it is true to the story and a very enjoyable experience.

In the 3rd installment, we delve a bit more into our heroine's background and see what truly drives her to seek revenge. She also realizes the limits of her skill and vows to train harder. We also learn some background info about the villians which makes it much more interesting when the inevitable battle to the death comes. Great pacing, deep and deliberate story-telling, and clever action scenes give you no reason to give up on this series... at least not yet...

Really looking forward to how this mini series ends, I just enjoy the story as a whole. Very well done bad guys if you want to call them "bad" but this volume gives you a closer look into the motives of this non traditional clan. It shows that the story is transcending revenge, and it is looking closer and closer to the reality of the entire situation. Its complex but very easy to follow and understand, which makes it that more enjoyable.
