  • Musashi: The Dream of the Last Samurai (宮本武蔵-双剣に馳せる夢, Miyamoto Musashi - Soken ni Haseru Yume) is a full-length animated film released in Japanese theaters in June 13, 2009. it is directed by Mizuho Nishikubo (西久保瑞穂) in collaboration with Production I.G, which was also responsible for Patlabor: The Movie (1989), Patlabor: The Movie 2 (1993), Ghost in the Shell (1995), Innocence (2004) and The Sky Crawlers (2008). Not to be mistaken as a film adaptation of the popular ongoing manga series Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue 井上雄彦 (based loosely on Eiji Yoshikawa's 吉川英治 novel Musashi), this film based on legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi 宮本武蔵 (1584–1645) was conceptualized by filmmaker Mamoru Oshii (押井守) to be a more historically accurate and realistic re-telling of the enigmatic swordsman, based on Oshii's reading of The Book of Five Rings, a master treatise on military strategy penned by Musashi himself as a means of seeking "the way" to enlighten his spirit and cultivate his mind. It is presented in a semi-documentary manner, with 3 different forms of media. 2D animation was used for the fighting scenes involving Musashi, 3D CG for the narrator characters and visual exposition on the military tactics and background information and live video footage of current locations where the purported action took place, whereby monuments have been erected. Character design was by Kazuto Nakazawa 中澤一登, who was also responsible for 'Samurai Champloo' and who was the director for the animation segment in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003).
