If you loved Black Butler, try Asura

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Keiichi Sato, and they sit in Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Black Butler, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Asura is

Kyoto’s winter. A child’s ragged breath fogs the charred beams of an abandoned temple. The boy survives on scavenged rice and feral instinct until a monk’s quiet steadiness offers a fragile tether to humanity—just as his wrath stirs again. A Meiji-era fable of violence and grace, rendered in stark ink-and-wash animation.
