GIRAF20 FEATURE: LANTERN BLADE

A mini-series by the renowned chinese animation studio Nice Boat, Lantern Blade is adapted from the manga of the same name as it merges martial-arts adventure and Lovecraftian horror. With captivating fight scenes and a worldview spanning decades, the series carefully selects the most impressive moments from the original comic book, reorganizing them to create a powerful clash between truth and falsehood, kindness and evil. – Xige Yi

 

‘Lantern Blade is what you get if John Carpenter and Yuen Woo-ping sat Phil Tippit down and said, “We’ve got this crazy idea for a story and we need you to animate it”. 

 Tippit replied, “You had me at ‘We’ve’”. - Andrew Mack screenanarchy
