Plot (From Wikipedia):The series begins in 12th century Japan and centers on Kuro, who meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Kuromitsu while on the run from his elder brother, the founder of the Kamakura, who seeks Kuro's life. He soon falls in love with her, but then finds that he shares her fate and is now unable to die. In the far future, having lived for hundreds of years, but with his memories and Kuromitsu gone, he attempts to look for answers and find what has been lost.
The starting plot for the series is probably inspired by Kurozuka, a 1939 japanese dance-drama, which features the same man-eating ogress like Kuromitsu.
My Thoughts:
In my search for a good seinen anime, I came across Kurozuka. I do have to say that the animation was sick...sick as in really really good. This would be perfect to watch on a big screen tv. It had some "Matrix" style scenes which would just really blow you away but that is all about I can say about Kurozuka. The plot was..well...confusing to say the least. It was difficult to follow. I liked the premise of the plot but it just kinda ended there. I completed the series just because the animation blew me away but the plot really needed a lot of work. Overall I will still give this a 3.5 out of 5. Definitely a must see for the animation but the story is another story.
