In the sixth year of the Kan’ei era (1629), at the beginning of the Edo period, a samurai was hired to settle a grievance in the castle of Suruga. Appearing in a tournament which contraventioned all of the existing dueling laws to allow the use of real swords, the blind one-armed lame samurai starts a battle which brings together for the last time two mighty swordsmen whose bloody intertwined past is as beautiful and as gruesome as the scarred wounds that adorn their bodies and souls.

The english dub for this anime is due for release March 31 by Funimation (according to the official site: http://www.funimation.com/shigurui/). The complete series, which is 12 episodes long, is going to be released on that date. The anime is also from the same creators of Ninja Scroll and Black Lagoon. It seems like a normal samurai anime, but the artwork and animation look intense, so please consider it. Thanks.
