Synopsis

Sentenced to death, ninja Gabimaru the Hollow finds himself apathetic. After leading a blood-soaked life, Gabimaru believes he deserves to die. However, every attempt to execute him inexplicably fails. Finally, Sagiri Yamada Asaemon, a fledgling member of a famed executioner clan, is asked to take Gabimaru's life; yet Sagiri makes no move to kill him as requested.

Insisting that Gabimaru will not die because of his love for his wife, Sagiri instead offers him the chance to obtain a full pardon for his crimes. If he can travel to the island of Shinsekyo and obtain the Elixir of Life—which supposedly grants immortality—and bring it back for the shogun, then his freedom will be assured.

But of the many who have traveled to Shinsekyo in search of the mythical Elixir, not a single person has returned sound of mind, if at all. Though unaware of the numerous dangers ahead, Gabimaru decides to accept the offer—alongside ten other death row convicts—in hope that he and his wife may finally live in peace.

I actually avoided this show expecting it to be another boring shounen series, and nothing really stood out at a glance when this came out, but with a recommendation of someone gave this a try. There were Fluid , clean , beautiful animation scenes combined with aesthetic characters that have personality / meaning. As the story progressed I got more attached and wanted to know what would happen next, the character development was unique as well. Strong sequencing of events to make everything understandable combined with suspense. Recommend as I can't really think of a major flaw after finishing the show, they did a ...

Mixed Feelings
The show has an interesting setting. A group of criminals and their overseers are sent to an island that is supposed to be a mixture of Buddhist and Taoist heaven. Their goal is to retrieve the elixir of life to obtain a pardon from the Shogun. The problem is, although this island looks really pretty with all the flowers and colors, it is the farthest thing from Heaven. Everything tries to kill you in a brutal but colorful way. The animation is pretty good in that regard.

However, that's where the good stops. The characters are really boring and cliche. They are well animated, but you ...

What a major disappointment of adaptation from the manga. I honestly thought that the series will get a good animation considering the hype surrounding the manga. Yes, I already read the manga and it an okay series if you turn your brain off and enjoy the gore and the art. some of the flaw in the manga I thought the studio will correct it but guess not. let rate the series shall we.

PLOT (4)
The stories structure doesn't make sense. What I mean by that is the shogun want to gain immortality because there a rumor of an unknown charted island there is elixir of immortality ...
