If you loved Shinsengumi Chronicles, try Destiny's Son
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 Kenji Misumi, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Action territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shinsengumi Chronicles, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Destiny's Son is
You live under the shadow of your father, a known killer in Edo Japan. But whispers of his deeds catch up to you. Shingo now understands bloodlust. Misumi's jidaigeki films often dwell on mythic origins, but here the screen bleeds for a man trying to bury his.
