2nd November 2010

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings, the TV anime adaptation of the hit Capcom video game series, is produced by Production I.G. (Blade Of The Immortal; the Ghost In The Shell series; Kill Bill) and directed by Itsuro Kawasaki (Tsubasa Chronicle The Movie: The Princess Of The Country Of Birdcages), this epic, period action series set in feudal Japan is packed with energy, thrills and eye-popping animation right from the start. It’s released on a two-disc set featuring all 13 episodes of the show’s first season.

And here is the plot synopsis –

Welcome to the burning battlefields of feudal Japan, where rival warlords hack and slash their way to total domination. Each conqueror commands a horde of relentless warriors and wields a special attack weapon that boosts his powers of devastation as the endless struggle for power continues. But when a supreme evil in the form of the Demon Lord Oda Nobunaga threatens the land, the warring generals agree to unite to launch a combined campaign of annihilation against him by building an ‘army of armies’ to fight against their common enemy.

Among those who form an unlikely alliance are Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune, two young warriors and bitter rivals from opposing regions who eventually put their differences aside in order to take on the deadliest of foes. As the battle rages, gun-toting, mechanized samurai and mystical ninja go head-to-head in a devastating series of conflicts that brings the horrors of hell to earth.

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings (15) is released on DVD (24.99) and Blu-ray (£29.99) by Manga Entertainment on 15th November 2010.
