Who hasn't seen this movie yet? well if you haven't here are some links. For the trailer here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meY2e2KT-HA. its in japanese but is very good. Now if you want to watch it here is the first part of it, [No posting links to illegal streams/downloads].
This movie is good in every scene to me. I personally love the artwork and the look at the end of the movie with the snow. The music is sweet and really sets the right mood. My favorite music in it was at the end werespoiler[they were attacking the fortress.]. Good things about this movie. It has awesome action. My favorite anime movie used to be appleseed ex machina but now by a long shot its sword of the stranger. This movie will appeal to any action fan and especcially people like me who like samurai type anime. the action is full on hardcore samurai fighting with a lot of blood. It has a lot of action and never really gets to talkative. My favorite part is the end werespoiler[the foreigner rarou and nanashi fight.] its very suspenseful and so fast. Again the music is set just right and the most suspenseful part has got to be whenspoiler[rarou and nanashi stab each other and rarou dies.] If you've seen the movie, did you like it, hate or thought it was okay. If you haven't seen it i highly recommend it and i give it a 10/10, its my new favorite movie, can't wait for the dub.

Yes the movie itself is awesome, totally shocked me, however its a shame that this post will probably get locked as far as I know you arent allow to post any links to streams/downloads.
Just thought I would mention that a sub is available for those who search diligently 
Beautiful animation, great characters, and suspense galore. Cliched plot told in a good and interesting way. |

Yes, I've seen it. It's a fantastic film, and I really liked it as well. Bandai recently liscensed it and I'll definitely be picking it up whenever they put the disc out.

You are right, this movie is awesome. 2D animation is the best, Appleseed's characters moved like puppets but SoS's characters had life. I waited so long for an action anime movie, like the good old days.

Just finished watching this. Not a great film, but certainly a pretty darn good one. The the basic plot structure itself is unremarkable, yet it manages to work thanks to the good direction. What makes the film worth seeing, though, are the production values. Such pretty art and lush animation! My eyes are still watering after gazing upon the incredible visuals. Fantastic. I'm certainly going to be buying the Blu-ray version once it's released.

Hmmm, definitely sounds like something I'd like. Based on what some of you have already said about it I think this'll definitely be worth at least a try anyways. I'll have to keep this one in mind and keep an eye out for it around the rental stores one of these times or something. Of course I'll rent it first before I decide whether or not I'll actually buy it. Even though it may have a cliche plot that shouldn't bother me too much anyways, especially if everything else about it makes up for it.

Rarou and Nanashi is one of the best climatic fights I've seen, the animation the choreography, the evenness of the fight is just so much better than what you usually get for a climatic fight.

I don't get this comments about "cliche story", 99,99% of animes are full of cliches. How many animes in this season are only generic fanservice and tired jokes? At least Sword of the stranger try to make an action feature anime film when in the last years action anime was ausent in cinemas, or it was made in 3D.

You do have a point, but in the case of this film, we've seen this kind of story many, many, many times before. They could have at least tried to made it a bit more original. In spite of that, the visuals make up for the dry plot greatly. |

I watched the last half of this at a con. I must say it was really well made, and the fight scenes were pretty awesome.
