Synopsis

One hundred years after their deaths, six legendary holy warriors are reborn to seek justice against the former comrade who betrayed them into the hands of an evil god! The six warriors search the feudal province of Edo questing for the last Saint Soldier, Haohmaru, and their sworn nemesis Shirou Amakusa. Will the followers of the divine light triumph over the forces of darkness, or is history destined to repeat itself? Before their hundred-year journey has ended, six samurai will prove that the only thing stronger than their holy blades is the steel of their wills!

Samurai Shodown the Motion Picture is an anime movie based on the SNK video game series, Samurai Shodown. I don't know much about the game apart from the two characters featured in Capcom vs. SNK 2 (since it only seems to be released on a console called "Neo Geo" which I've never even heard of) but a quick bit of research revealed this was released around the same time the original game in the series was voted Best Video Game of 1993. Don't let that deceive you, however - this is in no way the best video game adaptation.

It's a bad movie based on a good fighting game, the story just like most fighting games is generic and predictable, deviating significantly from the game's story, suffering further from very inconsistent pacing. Like most fighting game films, there's not nearly enough time to give every character something interesting to do, and by the time it's over, you'll likely find your self disappointed that your favorite played a minor role in the story if even that. Hell, I'm pretty sure Ukyo Tachibana doesn't even show up anywhere but in the credits. All the time spent on building up Haohmaru's character could have ...

Take a break from the epic two-hit killed action of the original game and check out the low-quality animated adaptation!

Some historical background scenes are somewhat interesting, but the main plot is a lot of nonsense. The animation is rough and basic, the direction is poor, and the voice work is as poorly acted as the almost non-existent sound design. There is none of the visual beauty of the game's backgrounds and the vast majority of characters don't do much more than shout two phrases and show off their signature technique. There is a possible decent base that is lost in a clearly low scope production ...
