Produced by Gonzo Digimation ("Last Exile," "Sentou Yousei Yukikaze"), it's a historical action anime set in mid 1860's, around the period where the chaotic Edo era was coming to an end. 15-year-old Tetsunosuke's will power is put to the test when he decides to join Shinsengumi, a police troop with a strict samurai code of honour, in order to avenge his parents. Thrilling swordsplay and action scenes are rendered through excellent 3-D digital animation. Also available on VHS.
