If you loved The Monkey Sword Masamune, try The Lump

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 Yasuji Murata, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Monkey Sword Masamune, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Lump is

Frankenstein meets folklore. An old man with a facial lump encounters Tengu. Carries early anime charm.
