Post by Jet_Jaguar »

Mamoru Oshii, the director of the Ghost in the Shell movies, has made an anime movie about Musashi Miyamoto that's coming out next year:

It looks like I may have erred when I said that Oshii directed this movie. According to the IMDB entry, he just wrote the script:

Of course, this movie could be kind of like Jin-Roh, a movie that had a directorial style similar to Oshii's even though he just wrote the script. In any case, I'm interested in seeing it.
