Blade of the Immortal
On AT-X
A dark, blood-soaked samurai tale driven by existential despair and the supernatural curse of immortality, where violence is both the protagonist's burden and his only path to redemption.
Manji is a crass, violent samurai with a special ability: he cannot die. Cursed with immortality by the nun Yobikuni as punishment for his ruthless deeds, he has grown weary of his ageless life. The only way to lift the curse is to slay 1,000 evil men. So Manji wanders Japan, shedding the blood of the wicked on his quest to finally die.
