Tragic and beautiful. The story almost like typical movie with heroine vs bad guy so it's quite predictable. But with Haruka Ayase as Ichi who is blind but actually a skilled swordsman who can slayed numerous samurai all at once (that was so cool!) makes this movie a little bit different than other. This movie is brave enough to show fighting scenes, such as bloody scars, hand cut, sword thrust looks real. The backsound music and soundtrack are nice too and match perfectly. I also like the villain characters, they do really looks like a bad guy with an annoying expression.
