The fall 2019 anime adaptation of the Blade of the Immortal manga series from Hiroaki Samura saw simulcast on Amazon Prime but the folks at Sentai Filmworks grabbed the home video rights for it. While they released a dub clip promo for it previously in order to showcase the cast for it and the series itself, they didn’t add a trailer until much more recently. That’s now streaming here while also obviously indicating that the set is in print since it just came out this year. HIDIVE isn’t able to stream this, at least at the moment.

Plot concept: Damned to wander the Earth in an endless cycle of carnage and murder, the fallen samurai known as Manji seeks the chance to win back his mortality. To do so, he must first balance the deaths weighing against him by slaying 1000 evil souls, a task that would take even the greatest warriors a lifetime. Manji, however, has all the time in the world to kill, and his lonely quest leaves a trail of bloody bodies in his wake… until his path crosses with that of Rin, who has sworn vengeance against the murderers of her family and school, even though the cost will almost certainly be her own life. Now, the girl who chases death has an unkillable sword master at her side, and the men she seeks will soon learn to fear the BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL!
