SynopsisAdaptation of Takashi Noguchi’s manga, which itself adapts Baku Yumemakura’s supernatural romance novel.
The original novel is about a 12th-century man named Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Kurou). Kurou flees into the mountains after losing to his brother Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first Shogun to rule all of Japan. History records that he committed suicide, but instead, Kurou meets a strange, beautiful woman named Kuromitsu in her mountain hermitage. Eventually, Kurou falls in love with Kuromitsu, but then realizes she conceals a dark secret. He learns that he is unable to die and continues to live for a thousand years as Japan evolves into a future society.

The atmosphere Kurozuka gives off reminds me of a darker Samurai Champloo. Both have samurai sword fights and the like.

Immortal killers.... What more do I need to say?
Both feature immortal murders who kill without any objection.

Oct 28, 20083 of 12 episodes seen 10 of 39 people found this review helpful From the director of "Death Note" "Kurozuka's" opener was full of interesting developments and great artistic ability. As I am not a man of Manga, I will be explaining this episode through the eyes of a first timer. What can I tell you? I can tell you that the art work is amazing and that there are tons of samurai zombies and evil demons. While watching the first episode I couldn't help but notice just how much this title reminded me of Ninja Scroll. Why? It had a lot to do w...ith the style of drawing and the flow and pacing of this series. It doesn't hurt that it has a lot of sword play and buckets of blood. At the heart of this series lies a love story between "Kuro" and "Kuomitsu" an everlastingly tormented vampire. Hauntingly beautiful and mysteriously amnesiac, this story seems to be piecing an eternal love affair together with death and destruction. I'm loving it. read more
