- Who'll love it
- Made for action fans and animation lovers. If you loved BLUE EYE SAMURAI, start here.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 5 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: a parent's death or loss. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
After he witnesses his father’s murder at the family dojo, Ryo Hazuki dedicates his life to finding the man responsible — a mission that takes him from the streets of Yokosuka, Japan to the sprawling metropolis of Hong Kong, and beyond. Soon he’ll learn that larger, mystical forces are at play as he trains to become the ultimate martial artist in his quest for revenge.
