| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yay, BD is out. Interesting movie imo. There's a lot more violence than I thought especially in the beginning but I kinda like the atmosphere. Thankfully, I thought the visuals outshines that part with its backgrounds. The music part was okay I guess, pretty calm soundtrack. I really like this Shino guy from the movie though because of his expressions. Oh and he is a badass with that mask of his. The sakura tree and the city's designs is also pretty nice. Overall, pretty good movie; definitely enjoyed watching this. 7.5/10 |

| Shino is literally a lone wolf. So sad. The girl with hunting skill is involved in government's rule for getting rid of "Fuse" just because of that leader's selfish grudge, but she also saved Shino from being lonely. Looks like Chara, theme song singer, also voiced a character. |

| Why does it takes so much time for the subs to be out? I became too impatient and watched it raw. I have to say that I didn't understand many parts of the movie, I will have to rewatch it. If not, the animation is really outstanding! They tried a lot of amazing effects and it works! And I'm kind of sad that they didn't read Shino's letter at the end... |
| Overall, lovely movie with lots of feels, 'specially at the end when they hugged. ; A ; It was so sweet, I'm happy it ended with a happy ending. ^_^ |

| Just watched it and loved it! Very beautiful movie. |
| I've watched 35 mins and so far it's been really boring. Does it get any better? Does anyone of importance die? I don't mind spoilers... |
| Wow, that was a nice version of Hakkenden! Quite enjoyable, reminds me of Oh, Edo Rocket. |
| Not bad at all |
 |
| The ending wasn't all to my taste, but definitely a movie worth watching. Loved the artwork and animation ^^ |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| I thought it was a decent enough film, good for watching through once. I thought the shogun guy was actually one of the fuse in hiding as well, partially because of his eyes. xD; But the blade twist was ok instead. Some of the actions or whatnot was pretty good though. |
 |
| just finished watching. very good movie..tho im still confused abit a few things.but nvm. really liked the soundtrack and the art style. what shocked me abit was when hamaji killed the dog in the very beginning.. |
| Such violent, mature yet colorful Story Nice to see the Edo period with those sceneries |
| The beginning was hard to stomach a little bit.. I'm a huge animal lover so yeah... But I stuck it out to the end and enjoyed the movie as a whole. Nice story and it was a great ending..for almost everybody. |
| Pretty neat movie about equality between everyone. It was moving a little fast in the last quarter and the ending was stupid, though. |
 |
| Very entertaining ... overall enjoyable, especially the characters :) |
 |
| Violent and colorful at the same time. I give this 8/10. I enjoyed it yes, but it's far from a masterpiece imho. |
 |
| I really liked it. It had such a refreshing and cheerful atmosphere, especially when it came to the animation. 8/10 |
drendren said: I didn't fully comprehend the story. Can anyone explain some plot points for me? Who exactly is Shino? Why did the shogunate call him an impostor? What's with the shogunate? Same questions in my head. This probably needs understanding of Japan's literature to fully appreciate this movie. |
| I just watched it and it was good. There was a lot going on in the movie and it didn't go the way that I expected. The ending made me sad. I wanted the wolf and the chick to move back to the mountains and live happily ever after. |

| 5/5 Not bad movie. Light-hearted characters, plot a bit too hurried and character design not as nice as others, perhaps these weaknesses. This notwithstanding, the narrative succeeds with his sweet and sometimes raw, to get interested. Very nice OST, the ending theme I liked so much. A product a little immature, but in the end what matters is that coming out of a cinema, a work you leave something in her mind and heart. Is this movie succeeded. Final score of 8/10! I thought this movie had just come out, then I realized that is the 2012 ... Wow, how long did it take to see it! ^ ^ " |
 |
| Pretty nice movie if you ask me quite like the setting and overall atmosphere, the character and story development up until the end was pretty lovely and well the ending as well was pretty sweet. So all in all a pretty good movie! 7/10 |
 |
| Another anime movie with lots of wonderfully-realized visual details and a boring story told not very well. |
| Em.... Am I the only one who thinks, that it wasn't good end at all? The white wolf she shot in the neck (the only weakness), the one who cried... Seiyuu's voice match too. "In-go" part would make sense in that case too. |
| I liked the ending song more than the entire movie. |

Fronzel said: Another anime movie with lots of wonderfully-realized visual details and a boring story told not very well. ^^This I was honestly disappointed by it since i was expecting some more from this. o.e The characters have very little depth and their actions are so incomprehensible to me. I personally find the plot too lacking for my taste with no explanations whatsoever so i was confused throughout the whole movie :/ (OR maybe it's one of those type of movie where you need some prior knowledge about the japanese folk tale) Such a shame. It could have been much better. I didn't even realized Hamaji developed romantic feelings for Shino until the end of the movie since the romance was so abruptly developed. o.e I like the visuals though. 6/10 |

| The whole bestiality backstory was a bit odd. Overall disappointed, I was expecting more since the author of Gosick was involved. Music and the art were beautiful at times. |
 |
| The art was rather beautiful, and the soundtrack was okay. The first part of the story was decent, however I felt as though it steadily declined throughout the movie. It also made me uncomfortable that it seemed to have a furry vibe, eugh. |
| The movie was good, but a cliche ending... kina expected something different |
 |
| Solid film, but can someone explain the Emperor's motives to me? |
| This movie had a lot of potential, sadly, it was poorly developed. The art was great, it was sorta of a 9/10 for me, the music was also good 8/10 but the story was a 6 or even a 5/10. It was a very confusing plot, at times it felt totally rushed, it was not nicely written. At the end there were so many things i didn't understand, for me than half of the movie i was confused, the ending was so freaking cliche and i don't even know why Shino went away. The whole resolution of the main problem wasn't even understood. I don't even know what to say about it, like, Shino released hell in the castle and burned an entire city for nothing. Messy. 6/10 and being generous because of the first half of the movie and the art and animation. |

| Was disappointed by the fumbling story line, they didn't deliver on that. I didn't get what this movie was getting at, was it about hunting fuse, about the Hamaji, or Shino and his mother or him being a monster or a love story, because if it was those it failed on all. Next it was the shogunate spouting about counterfeiting, ah this was lame for real. Most of all, the guy got away of killing those guys where is the justice in that and also the guy with the one eye, what's up with that. By the way the girl this movie was named about is so lame I could vouch for her in hell, I wouldn't read the novel no thank you. This is a lenient rating so 5/10. |

| I found this pretty entertaining, in terms of overall idea. I haven't heard about this at all before watching it. There were some parts of the movie/story that dragged... If they tightened it up and filled some unnecessary portions with more background, I think it could have done really well and got higher scores. It is a shame, really. I waffled with giving this a 6 or 7, but ultimately decided on 6 due to inconsistencies. |
 |
| Absolutely baffling to me how bad this is. I just watched it and I can't believe I actually made it to the end. |
| The ending credits song was nice. The film was entertaining. However, if someone stopped watching when they saw dead doggos I wouldn't blame them. It's too bad the hunter girl and Shino didn't just get together. e-e;; I haven't read The Hakkenden which this film seems to have been based on so I can't comment on how it compares. |

| It started off alright but the plot just got less coherent as it progressed. The characters just... did stuff without reason.... things just kept happening .... also without much reason. It was such a mess towards the end, throughout that climactic fight. The character relations jumped from 1 to 100 with no development. The art, music and animation was nice. That's about it. |
