About Time of Shura

Here is what Time of Shura (陸奥圓明流外伝 修羅の刻) is about, retold in plain terms: an action anime by Studio Comet (2004). The setup: Legends tell of an invincible martial art known as Mutsu Enmei-Ryu, an unarmed style that allows the user to defeat any number of armed opponents using incredible speed and strength. This is the story of three generations of those who bear the name Mutsu, and their encounters and clashes with the strongest fighters of their era.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Jubei Yagyu (Eiji Takemoto) and Musashi Miyamoto (Takashi Matsuyama) are two of the characters you will meet early.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
