Blade of the Immortal movie by Takashi Miike

This looks awesome, very faithful to the manga too (which Stan and Sergio Aragones did pinups for when Dark Horse started publishing it in the late 90s, I still have those issues somewhere). It even has the bad guy with two women's heads stitched to his shoulders, which I don't think anyone but Takashi Miike would have carried over to the movie faithfully.
