Based upon the historical short story Suruga-jou Gozen Jiai from one of Japan’s most prolific authors, Nanjo Norio.
Two damaged warriors wear the scars of a twisted and violent past. Bitter rivals for the secrets of their master’s sword and the right to his daughter, these samurai inflict wounds on each other that would destroy lesser men. The final chapter of their saga unfolds within a brutal samurai tournament, a gruesome contest arranged to satisfy the bloodlust of a cruel tyrant overlord. The disfigured legends of the blade must summon the strength for one last battle – a final lesson in the artistry of violence where nothing is more beautiful than the kill.

If you like good anime like Berserker, Basilsk, or claymore don’t buy this I made the mistake of buying it and now I m stuck with it. Yes the animation looks good and is gory but the battles are one hit kills and the dialogue makes no sense.
The action is super weird half of the time you only see guts flying and you wonder what hit the guy. The story has no end by the way and it keeps moving back and forward in time. (spoiler) don’t expect the opening scene to be explained or finish or in no way be conected with the story.

This anime is pretty bad. The story is pretty slow and boring and it
jumps around a lot. It’s also extremely graphic which I’m usually into,
but it’s done all wrong in this case. The music goes with the depressing
feel of the story, but is terrible in my opinion. The only things that
seem to be good about Shigurui are the visuals. The artwork is pretty
colorless which makes it feel dull at times, but it’s visually
impressive nonetheless. I would only recommend this to people who are
fans of gore or people into swordsman homosexuality because that’s what
they’ll find when they watch this.

The story drags on and on. It jumps around in time, but doesn’t really make you any more interested in the story. The action isn’t all that great either. I stopped watching after the 3rd episode. What a waste of time.
