Kai Doh Maru
Set in the political intrigue of Japan's Heian Era (794 to 1185 AD), explosive action intertwined with a complex human drama brings to life a story of love, honour, jealousy and betrayal. After the murder of her parents at the hands of a seditious uncle, a young girl named Kintoki flees to the mountains to lead a harsh life; she is renamed Kai Doh Maru, learns the practices of martial arts and develops into a skillful samurai. This fully digital animation tour-de-force features elaborately drawn 3D backgrounds showcasing a unique colourization scheme reminiscent of Japanese artwork from the period. "Kai Doh Maru" masterfully explores new and uncharted dimensions of anime, taking you back in time into a distant past, a beautiful and deadly world of lavish luxury, mind-altering mysticism and bloody conflict.
