"What you saw at the castle on that windy night and what you saw at the bridge last night... how I smiled... Never utter a word to anyone. If you dare speak, I will find you wherever you are, and I will kill you. I will rip you apart, crush your bones and eat your flesh. I will drink your blood. I will... devour you."
Time - sometime in the middle age. Place - a little village in Ireland. Story - A little girl hears a rumor of a lone swordsman who will do anything for a specific book. So she decides she'll give him a book and ask him to protect her village from English invaders. The swordsman accepts, however there is a price to be payed...
This is a masterpiece. This 10 minute short anime has more passion and emotion packed into it than most of the remaining anime put together. Absolutely brilliant stuff. There is no gore and there's just a little blood but the story just rips you apart. That is if you "read between the lines" which is not everyones meal. I said it before and I say it again - Koji Morimoto and Studio 4°C don't know how to make a bad anime.
