Basilisk is a television series that explores the Edo period of Japanese history by bringing a tale of ninja love and war to life. The era shogun, or leader, Tokugawa Ieyasu has finally taken over Japan by waiting for his rivals to make missteps. The only thing left for him to do to consolidate his leadership is to ensure the fealty of a couple of ninja clans before the love affair between the two future leaders of each clan can turn into marriage. Ieyasu sets off a war between the clans by changing peace terms and the battle is on. Both Ninja clans, the Koga and the Iga, are then required to send 10 members off to fight a proxy battle for control of the Japanese empire's ninja franchise. Destined to be an anime classic, Basilisk was released to the North American market by Funimation and consists of 24 episodes of 24 minutes apiece.MORE
