Namakura Gatana

The only reason to watch this anime would be for historical purposes I liked the comedy though it reminded me of old cartoons like Felix the cat or steamboat willy. I think it is nice to see how far we have come when it comes to anime though, and I have no reason to rate it bad it's more like watching something interesting because its from 1905. The main problem I had which is probably because it is so old is how the colors were changing from yellow and blue. It would be really awesome if a company, or a fan picked this old historical ... short film up and created a remastered version it'd probably be really cool for historical otaku such as myself.

I will say this it is the first and at 100 years old it's not that bad. The score is so low because one category scored a 0 and that is sound. Now I will admit that sound wasn't introduced to movies till the mid 1920's but that still doesn't slightly detract from this "anime".

Pros: Not horrible animation, especially for it being 100 years old.

Cons: No sound.

~SPOILERS~

It's about a samurai who wants to test out his new sword, the first person was himself which he does pierce his finger on the blade, then he "talks" to a monk who promptly kicks his ass. ... Then a farmer(?) who beats him down as well, he tries to stand up using the blade as a cane but the blade warps and is now bent, the end.
