Basilisk. UK DVD Photo-set/Details.

It's not always serious over here at "Incredibly Strange Movies", I thought I would dig out some odds and ends of UK DVD releases that are still available to obtain in one form or another, I've always enjoyed cartoon animation and some of the best there is comes from Japan in the the form of Anime, amazing art, outrageous characters with incredibly strange stories behind them, so I hope you enjoy looking at the stills and images. The links are there, to where you can purchase your own official copy inside the UK from the official retailer.

Basilisk. UK version.

Four hundred years have passed, four centuries of enforced peace which have failed to soften the hatred between the Kouga and Iga clans. Misfortune written in the heavens, one cruel day breaks the treaty binding these fearsome foes. Pitted one against the other in a deadly fight for Shogun, the terms have been set. 

Two lists seal their destinies, two lists from which a name can only be crossed out in blood. No mercy will be spared to the enemy. hundred years have passed, four centuries of enforced peace which have failed to soften the hatred between the Kouga and Iga clans. Misfortune written in the heavens, one cruel day breaks the treaty binding these fearsome foes. Pitted one against the other in a deadly fight for Shogun, the terms have been set. Two lists seal their destinies, two lists from which a name can only be crossed out in blood. No mercy will be spared to the enemy.

The Kouga and the Iga, two ninja clans with four hundred years of hostilities between them, meet at the request of Lord Ieyasu. There they learn that the peace forced upon them is to be broken by the whim of royalty, and that the outcome of this battle will determine the next Shogun. The passions of the past quickly reignite as two scrolls are sent out into the night.

Ill-fated is this event indeed, for lovers stand with hands entwined as travesty approaches on the wings of a hawk. Reared from birth as sworn enemies, Gennosuke and Oboro, each the heir of these rival clans, seek lasting peace between their peoples. But the terms have been set, and two lists seal their destinies. Two lists from which a name can only be crossed out in blood.
