What is this? I'm interested.

This is an awesome samurai period piece, done by Bones, and IMHO easily the equal of any Miyazakii film - it really is that good. The synopsis from the official website:
No Name is a ronin who abandoned his name in troubled times, and who vowed to never unsheathe his sword again. Luo-Lang is a blond-haired, blue-eyed Western assassin working for the Ming Dynasty who feels something is missing from his life. No Name and Luo-Lang are destined to clash, as the only thing they believe in is their swordsmanship. These two strangers meet when a mysterious young boy named Kotaro enters their lives. They kill—and kill some more—in a blazing display of Japanese sword action, and ultimately find that they share a common destiny.

Give it a try, its easily available from Amazon and the usual suppliers.


Wow, this actually sounds pretty awesome. It sounds up my alley with a lot of action, which I thoroughly enjoy. I think I might give this a shot when I decide to purchase some more things.

I'd definitely recommend picking up Sword of the Stranger sooner rather than putting it off later because the price has not dropped (actually has gone up a little, you are not going to find it for less than $26 from a third party vendor on amazon unless you go used) since its release and you never know when it's finally going to go OOP with the price skyrocketing as the availability goes down to nothing.
