Plot Summary:
In 11th century Japan, an honest governor's family suffers after he is unjustly imprisoned by a disgruntled palace official. While fleeing the arrest, the family is ambushed by bandits and separated. The daughter, Anju, and the son, Zushio, are sold into slavery to the private manor of Sansho the Bailiff, who is a cruel master. The children's mother is sold into prostitution. The father dies in prison. Zushio escapes the manor. Anju drowns herself to aid in Zushio's escape and is turned into a mermaid. The mother dies and becomes a crane. Zushio manages to reclaim his father's honor and inherits the position of governor with the help of his pet bear cub, mouse, and dog. With his new governorship, Zushio destroys Sansho's slave trade, but he's too late in saving the lives of his family.

Shakespeare's classic tragedy about teenage love and woe comes to anime in a stylish fantasy reinterpretation by Gonzo. The dynamics may be a bit different, but an effective blend of action and drama forms a backdrop for this beautiful exploration of the pain and joy of fresh young love.

The Bount arc gets properly underway, and lays a solid foundation, as Ichigo and associates encounter a new threat. The actual course of events is a very typical mix of flashy action, silly comedy, and good old-fashioned angst, but it should keep fan interest.

The only thing “magical” about The Magic Touch is how quickly you will be absolutely desperate to get its yucky fingers out of your personal space.
Sakura Wars: The Movie is an aesthetically brilliant yet lethally uninteresting and ridiculous film.
