So It suprises me slightly that no one reviewing "Blade of the immortal" brings them up. Like, who is really the head-character of this series, what is really the conflict? And it has lots of Political and socialistic statements in it, though it seems hard for us non-japanese to catch thoose connotations since it is not our history it is refering to. Take the "Anotsu kagehisa" Character and his itto ryu - it is a real historic figure and that school still exists within Kendo and general japansese budo. ah, well well....
