MURAMASA Chapter 4: Crow

About This Movie

So, Chapter 4 of Muramasa – it's an interesting one. You’ve got Riki Takeuchi back in action, and the pacing feels a bit more deliberate this time around. The story dives into some classic fantasy tropes, but with a twist of that dark, brooding atmosphere. Seirai is an intriguing character, a seal master with her own agenda – her pursuit of Dokai adds a layer of complexity. The swordplay is impressive, as always, and the practical effects? They’ve got that gritty charm, though not always seamless. There's a sense of urgency that builds as the plot unfolds, making for a distinct rhythm compared to earlier chapters. It's one that sparks discussion, especially about how it handles its themes of power and corruption.
