The two buzziest TV shows of 2024 so far are FX's "Shōgun," adapting James Clavell's 1975 book about an Englishman who winds up in 17th century Japan from novel to miniseries, and "X-Men '97," a revival of every millennial's favorite "X-Men" cartoon from 1992. But what if I told you there was a comic out there which combined the thrills of both these shows into one?
That comic is Hiroaki Samura's samurai manga "Blade of the Immortal." Set during Japan's Edo period, the titular immortal is Manji, a ronin with a checkered past. So checkered, in fact, that he was cursed by a witch with kessen-chū — "bloodworms," or grubs infused in his body that enable him to heal from almost any injury and keep Manji in his physical prime.
If you've been watching "Shōgun," you'll know how important honorable death was to warriors in feudal Japan, so Manji's immortality is not a gift.

Soulsborne games are notorious for being difficult; however, the amount of love and dedication that goes into making them from Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware is completely unparalleled in the gaming industry. Masterpieces like Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Bloodborne have catapulted the studio into the mainstream, and for good reason.
With breathtaking worlds, stories, and weaponry, the inspirations behind such works require an equal amount of appreciation. Particularly in the case of Bloodborne and, surprisingly, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a world-renowned Seinen anime paved the way to creating these two jaw dropping experiences.

Masashi Kishimoto’s legendary work, Naruto, has heavily inspired the anime industry very much. His work led the anime world to grow to extreme levels and gain international recognition. Not only that, the series also inspired a lot of other manga artists for their individual works.
Naruto
The tale of Naruto Uzumaki is one of the most interesting storylines, but the one thing that separates it from other anime and manga series is the action sequences that Kishimoto designed in a way that captivated the audience. It was a mixture of hand-to-hand combats and energy techniques.
However, even legendary manga artists like Kishimoto drew inspiration for the action sequences in Naruto, from another mangaka. In an interview, Kishimoto revealed that he was heavily inspired by Hiroaki Samura, the creator of Blade of the Immortal which is also one of the best mangas ever been created.

In case you have not heard about one of the most famous manga of all time, Hiroaki Samura’s “Blade of the Immortal” follows Manji, a skilled and relentless samurai who has a decisive advantage against any opponent that comes his way: no wound can kill him, except for a rare poison. In the past, his criminal actions led to the death of 100 other samurai (including his sister’s husband). He becomes immortal at the hand of an 800-year-old nun named Yaobikuni, and is compelled by the death of his sister to accept the quest that will end his agelessness. He has vowed to make amends by killing 1000 evil men, and until he does, he will be kept alive by “sacred bloodworms” remarkable creatures that allow him to survive nearly any injury and reattach severed limbs even after hours of separation.

The movie has been launched at Cannes last spring and here it is, at BFI London Film Festival, where the director will be also part of the guest list and will preside one of Screen Talks whose tickets sold out literally minutes after opening the sale.
“Blade of the Immortal” screened at BFI London Film Festival 2018
“Blade of the Immortal” is based on the long and extremely popular Hiroaki Samura’s homonymous manga saga. A short prologue in sharp black and white sets the mood and introduce us to Manji, a feudal Japan samurai, facing a horde of hundred rough bandits that threatens his little sister. When the hooligans cowardly kill the girl, Manji’s reaction is a carnage; he kills them all. Desperate and critically wounded, the samurai seems to accept death as a benevolent relief, but a mysterious veiled Nan rescues him, inserting a handful of Sacred Bloodworms in his blood stream.

Hiroaki Samura’s badass 1993 samurai manga Blade of the Immortal has been adapted into a new anime series that is coming to Amazon Prime. The anime comes from Linden Films, who is best known for their 2016 adaptation of Berserk.
The story follows the journey of Manji, “a samurai who is unsurprisingly cursed with the inability to die. To cure himself of his affliction, he must go on a quest to kill 1,000 evildoers. On his path to regain his mortality, he runs into a young woman named Rin. Upon agreeing to help her avenge the death of his parents, the duo crosses paths and swords with several schools of samurai and villains.”
As you’ll see, the series will be filled with brutal violence and flooded with blood. The anime adaptation definitely isn’t shying away from the insanity of the manga.
This isn’t the first time the story has been adapted.

Takashi Miike’s surreally violent action movie based in Hiroaki Samura’s long-running manga may not be his best work but is brutally dramatic
At the age of 57, the staggeringly prolific Japanese film-maker and master of mayhem Takashi Miike now passes the 100 feature film mark with this expansive and surreally violent supernatural action movie; you could almost call it an undead samurai picaresque. It is based on Hiroaki Samura’s 30-volume manga, which ran for 20 years until 2012. Takuya Kimura plays Manji, a samurai cursed with immortality – “bloodworms” that magically heal any wound – who is asked by a young woman, Rin, to avenge the death of her father at the hands of the renegade ronin group, the Itto-ryu. Rin eerily resembles Machi, the disturbed figure whom Manji had witnessed being brutally butchered 50 years before: they are both played by Hana Sugisaki. Now, burdened by gallantry, honour and a sense of destiny,...

Over this past weekend, legendary filmmaker Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition, Visitor Q, One Missed Call) celebrated the release of his 100th directorial effort, his big screen adaptation of Hiroaki Samura’s manga Blade of the Immortal. The story follows a young girl named Rin (Hana Sugisaki), who is seeking vengeance on the man who killed her father, the devious Anotsu Kagehisa (Sôta Fukushi). Rin hires the immortal warrior Manji (Takuya Kimura) to help her on her quest, and the two forge a deep bond on their travels, fighting off dangerous assassins, thugs, and mercenaries together.
While Miike was in Los Angeles this past Friday, Daily Dead had the opportunity to briefly speak with him, and we discussed his initial interest in adapting the Blade of the Immortal manga, the timelessness of his latest cinematic story, and whether or not he’s made plans for future projects after recently hitting 100 movies,...

“What are you, a monster?” asks a man with a completely red-scarred skull who carries two human heads withered and shrouded on his shoulders. He asks this of Manji, a ronin who absorbs a mortal blow but rises from what should be certain death to then strike down his attacker. Takashi Miike, who in adapting Hiroaki Samura’s manga into Blade of the Immortal, knows this kind of material and this genre from front to back, blindfolded and, no doubt, even if one hand were cut off—but doesn't prevent him from having great fun making it.Manji (Japanese star Takuya Kimura) is cursed to immortality after allowing a woman (Hana Sugisaka) he had driven mad—by killing her husband—to be struck down before him. His curse turns into a gift when another wronged young woman, Rin (also Sugisaka), seeks him to avenge the destruction of her family and her dojo.

Quick takes from the now-wrapped 61st London Film Festival.
Blade of the Immortal
Legendary filmmaker Takashi Miike’s 100th film — and he’s only been working since the early 1990s — is an interminable samurai gorefest. And not in a good way. Based on the manga series by Hiroaki Samura, Blade of the Immortal is the tale of Manji (Takuya Kimura), a swordsman in shogunate Japan who, you guessed it, cannot die after an 800-year-old witch feeds him “blood worms,” drawing him back from a nasty death, in the wake of a gruesome battle. (Why does she save/curse him? No one seems to know.) Fifty years later, he takes up the revenge cause of young Rin (Hana Sugisaki: When Marnie Was There), orphaned when samurai of a lawless dojo attacked her family. She reminds him of his dead sister (Sugisaki plays the sister too), the lawless dojo must be stopped,...

There are very few directors who are as much loved as Miike Takashi for audiences in Sitges, that’s a fact. His movies have earned a very well-deserved place in genre fans’ hearts all over the world, so every new film by Miike screened at Sitges is a guaranteed sell-out. Which is quite something, as there are very few directors as prolific as Miike. Well, actually “prolific” may be underselling it: Blade of the Immortal is the 100th film directed by him. Yup. And he only started directing in the early 90’s. So if bearing this mark wasn’t enough, Blade of the Immortal is also the adaptation of a hugely popular and successful manga by Samura Hiroaki. It tells the story of Manji (played by Kimura Takuya),...

“Sorry, got blood on it,” Samurai Manji apologises in the new Blood Of The Immortal trailer, undercutting a subtle action hero wit just under the skin of Takashi Miike's 100th film.
The trailer then shows the tireless warrior face off against armies, risking lives and losing limbs in a breakneck assault on the senses. The 13 Assassins director is still as fresh as the wounds his swordsmen inflict on armies of assassins. The film premiered in May at Cannes. Magnet Releasing announced Blade Of The Immortal will open in America in November, although no UK date has thus far been confirmed.

“What are you, a monster?” asks a man with a completely red-scarred skull who carries two human heads withered and shrouded on his shoulders. He asks this of Manji, a ronin who absorbs a mortal blow but rises from what should be certain death to then strike down his attacker. Takashi Miike, who in adapting Hiroaki Samura’s manga into Blade of the Immortal, knows this kind of material and this genre from front to back, blindfolded and, no doubt, even if one hand were cut off—but doesn't prevent him from having great fun making it.Manji (Japanese star Takuya Kimura) is cursed to immortality after allowing a woman (Hana Sugisaka) he had driven mad—by killing her husband—to be struck down before him. His curse turns into a gift when another wronged young woman, Rin (also Sugisaka), seeks him to avenge the destruction of her family and her dojo.

Takashi Miike is at Cannes for the premiere of his (100th!) new film Blade of the Immortal, a jidaigeki (period drama) action film based on the manga series by Hiroaki Samura.
“The original manga was serialised for 19 years, in the past many Japanese filmmakers have tried to make in into a movie,” Miike said in an interview with Screen Daily. “However due to its extreme content, there’s been a history of numerous setbacks…I believe it was my destiny to be on board this project.”
The story follows Manji, a samurai who cannot be killed by any wound, but who is vulnerable to a rare poison. Manji is enlisted by a young girl to avenge her parents, who were killed by a master swordsman. Blade Of The Immortal features several extravagant fight scenes, including one sequence that pits 300-to-one.

With a body count in the thousands and a breakneck pitch that starts at feverishly intense and only builds upwards, “Blade of the Immortal” is certainly one of Takashi Miike’s most lethal works. But then, how else should a director with Miike’s talents celebrate such a milestone? You see, not only is his adaptation of a popular manga overloaded, overlong and gleefully over-the-top – it’s also the director’s hundredth feature film.
Based on Hiroaki Samura’s eponymous series, “Blade of the Immortal” follows Manji (local mega-star Takuya Kimura), a cursed samurai and unkillable killing machine who broods and maims his way across Edo era Japan. Thanks to the “sacred bloodworms” coursing through his veins, Manji can heal any wound and ages in slow motion, and that’s not the only similarity to a certain Marvel hero, as this film also hinges on the relationship between the older...

The veteran Japanese director’s 100th film concerns a warrior who is able to grow back his own limbs. It is undeniably gross, but also a lot of fun
For those who are fascinated by Wolverine’s healing factor, boy is Blade of the Immortal a treat. Adapted from Hiroaki Samura’s manga of the same name, it follows Manji (Takuya Kimura), a samurai during the Shogunate era who can not die. Prick him and he will bleed, impale him with a humongous sword and he will emit a gruesome gurgle, but with time (and without any novocaine) his innards will put themselves back where they ought to be, enabling him to continue slaying his enemies.
