The Passions of the past quickly re-ignite as one scroll seeks
to undo two powerful tribes. Death is on the wind, and the
storm continues unabated. The Iga set out to rewrite the rules
of deceit, made possible by deepest affection, as Gennosuke
and Oboro stand facing one another across a river of animosity.
But as reason is lost to hatred, ambition tips the hand of
the treacherous. Kouga warriors in disguise delve deep within
the enemy stronghold to unearth the truth, revealing both
innocence taken and innocence lost. As the darkness pervading
the sky seeps into the souls of men, blood lingers in the
rain and the flood is unleashed. No mercy will be spared to
the enemy...
Basilisk

of best-selling author Futaro Yamada's 1958 historical novel
The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, and produced by Studio Gonzo
(Speed Grapher; Samurai 7; Gantz;
Burst Angel), Basilisk is a character-driven
period piece packed with super-ninja combat action and plenty
of graphic bloodshed.
