At the recent Katsucon event over the weekend, Funimation Entertainment – a North American distributor of anime releases to the English market announced their acquisition of Sengoku Basara – Samurai Kings: The Movie. They have currently acquired the rights for broadcast, home entertainment, mobile and streaming rights to the movie, with the intention of doing a home video release in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi is defeated, but feudal Japan isn’t safe yet. The fallen villain’s most loyal and lethal minion – Ishida Mitsunari – is obsessed with carrying on Toyotomi’s legacy of violence in the name of vengeance. Ishida brutally cuts a bloody path across the countryside, even as Tokugawa Ieyasu attempts to rally Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura, and the nation’s other warlords toward an era of harmony. Unfortunately, for peace to finally be achieved, the fires of war must be unleashed once more. With Japan’s fate hanging in the balance, one of the most epic, over-the-top battles in history begins in Sengoku BASARA – Samurai Kings: The Movie!
