      Sword of the Stranger--Excellent Animation in Every Way

      The story, action, and style of painting are all praised. I haven't seen such good animation for a long time. What I want to talk about is Chinese. Generally speaking, Chinese is still very correct. Many of my friends pointed out that Chinese is not good enough. I want to ask if you have watched the film well. Isn't this the way the foreigners, the Waiguo people, speak Chinese? So I would like to praise the delicate work of the Japanese! The only fly in the ointment is: how come the Chinese...

      second to none

      It's the only animated movie that I've watched over and over again without getting bored.
      Undoubtedly, the action scenes here fully implement the concept of "animation". The Bone Club has always produced excellent action works. This work can be said to be created by the gathering of great people and the strongest strength of everyone.
      Because of this animation, I checked the list of BONES works carefully for the first time, and found that this club is really quite individual. Every...

      A film that respects history and respects the subtle beauty of Chinese and Chinese culture.

      Very nice video! The connotations of the music and movements are all first-class, and it is worth reading and thinking. It is worth watching many times. I read most of the replies from everyone and they said that they are slandering our country. I don't think it is. In the film, the Ming Dynasty said that the Japanese savagely killed their masters. In fact, the change of our historical dynasties is also the case. People are greedy for fame and fortune, nameless and Luo Lang, although they were...

      Bone Club! I just want to be your idiot for the rest of my life!

      Today, I want to talk to you about a conscience episode "The Stranger: The Sword of No Emperor" that made the Bone Club almost go bankrupt and sell underwear.

      A certain club can be called a model of death. It spent a lot of money to make an original animation, and I made a lot of money. I won a lot of international awards, but I almost lost my underwear. This is really the style of our company.

      Maybe you don't know who the Bone Club is, but you must have heard or even seen the...

      Aliens and the Sword of the Emperor

      This story with the poignant beauty of Japanese samurai and the suaveness of ancient martial arts was something I was looking forward to a long time ago. Today, I went to station B to watch the dark animal husbandry version. The blood into oil in the blockbuster really destroys the beauty of violence. The simple summary of the plot is that a wandering swordsman escorts a Zhengtai who is being chased and killed, and finally the former confronts another swordsman at the peak.

      The name of...

      Although the martial arts of the Celestial Dynasty have an evil spirit in the pen of Japanese animators, the degree of coolness and bombing is unforgettable. The blood splattered and the iron light radiated in all directions. Listening to the mandarin words that the Japanese pretended to use was not an ordinary one, but the problem was that the swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty actually used Japanese in their conversations, but they spoke Chinese to the Japanese. Moreover, the attention to clothing...

    Movie quotes

    • Luo-Lang: Use this, pain go away.

      Nanashi: I don't need it. I feel like having the pain is what makes you feel alive.

    • Luo-Lang: You've lived too long, old man.

    • [last lines]

      Nanashi: You've become pretty good. It feels... like I'm walking on top of the clouds.

      Kotaro: Don't flatter me. Are your wounds all right?

      Nanashi: Yeah... even a treasure like this comes in handy sometimes.

      Kotaro: Right?

      Nanashi: Really... you're some employer. Can you see the town?

      Kotaro: I can't see it yet. But, I'm sure it's close! Hey...

      Nanashi: Huh?

      Kotaro: Once your wounds heal, do you want to leave this country? If we go abroad, people there wouldn't mind your hair color, right?

      Nanashi: A foreign land, huh. That's not a bad idea. But how would we make money?

      Kotaro: We could steal, or become bodyguards. We can do anything! In fact, we could even become pirates!

      Kotaro: You're... really full of villainous ideas.

      Kotaro: [laughs] Hold on tight, so you won't fall off!

      Nanashi: Yeah.

      Kotaro: Let's go!
