I Tivo'd Cinematech so I have no idea when this ep came on but it had a sequence from Onimusha 3 that was f'n drop dead gorgeous... does anybody have any background info on it? I'm assuming it's the intro to the game? The fight sequences were choreographed better than quite a few of the B movies I've seen in my time... and the animation.... that HAD to have been motion captured it was just too fluid....
It shows large insects marching across a plain like troops and in the center there is a HUGE insect that seems to be like a base... a ninja enters the base and fight begins... he dispatches some undead soldiers, and in the process his mask comes off and we see its our hero SAMANOSUKE... he make it into a "brain" room and fights two ogre like warriors, again with great animation, finally another warrior steps in to the room forms a sword and they fight. Again some awesome moves, and the hero ends up on top of a canister that is atop of a large brain(we pan down and see), he cuts the cable just as the guardian throws his start at him.... the canister falls down in to the brain and it explodes... our hero dives out of an opening. On the ground after the dust settles our hero turns around and the guardian is there... he calls his sword again... our hero sucks all the souls of the undread warriors into his gauntlet and morphs... this time the fight is over in two moves... pretty f'n sweet.... the guardian laughs falls down and vanishes.... then we get a shot of Nobunaga who somehow realizes Samanosuke is coming...(I've left out a few details as I'm just pulling this from memory).
Wow, wow and wow.....
