... Shit! When I read the plot summary I remembered an explicit reference to this in Golden Kamuy at the end (you know, despite a lot of the premise being clearly inspired by it). SPOILERS OF THE END OF THE MANGA spoiler[In the epilogue, the unlucky-lucky dude and the ainu hunter of the same band go to America and make a movie that's pretty much that. I thought back then it was just some throwaway joke about them doing a movie that is almost the same thing as Golden Kamuy's plot, but no, it's the author again having fun plus homaging his influences.] Beautiful.

This film is what happens if you loosely adapt a whole series at once instead of picking a story to tell. 80s and early 90s Madhouse productions tended to struggle with pacing as they refused to tell half a story or less and failed to find the funding for more. Style - The Movie and little else. Dagger of Kamui could work as a 24-episode anime but you would need to beef up the characterizations and settle on a tone.
I can´t imagine how little the already incomprehensible plot would make sense if an additional 40 minutes were missing but that US VHS is thankfully lost to time. |
