Semishigure - The Samurai I Loved - 2005 - NTSC - Custom Subbed  
==================================================

Plot : Bunshiro, a young samurai finds himself on the wrong side of clan politics when 
his father is accused of plotting against the clan and forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide). 
He and his mother find themselves evicted from their home and forced to live in a hovel. 
But Bunshiro is a talented swordsman and after a time he is reinstated and becomes a
magistrate, filling the same job as his father. As he tours the countryside he discovers 
the political maneuvering which led to his fathers death is still widespread, and his childhood 
love who is now one of the lord's concubines has become an unwilling pawn. She has given 
birth to a boy and a rival faction has decided to kill the boy and blame Bunshiro.

Based on a story by Shuhei Fujisawa, who also wrote the stories "Twilight Samurai" and "Hidden Blade", 
Semi Shigure is a personal and intimate portrait of the life of a lowly ranked samurai. For fans of the genre, 
it's a must see. (from IMDb user comments)
