http://www.facebook.com/people/Luo-Lang/1113865454Acclaimed Japanese anime studio BONES (“Cowboy Bebop,” “Full Metal Alchemist,” “Soul
Eater”) brings Sword of the Stranger to life for this one-night exclusive event. Hunted by the
Mings from China, a young boy named Kotaro and his loyal dog Tobimaru meet a nameless
samurai who is haunted by his past – a memory so terrible he has vowed to never draw his sword
again. Among the Mings is Luo-Lang, a ruthless Western swordsman with the Chinese name
who has walked the earth in search of a worthy rival. When both groups clash with a feudal lord
and monks torn between faith and survival, the truth behind the Mings’ pursuit of Kotaro tests
the bond between the boy and the samurai.
The film was recently submitted for consideration to the 81st Academy Awards for “Best
Animated Feature” of 2007.
