Basilisk #1-24 End (2 DVD)
Story:
The story takes place in the year 1614. Two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of the Iga and Manjidani of Kouga, battle
each other to determine which grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu will become the next shogun. The deadly competition between
10 elite ninja from each clan unleashes a centuries-old hatred that threatens to destroy all hope for peace between
them.
Differences between Manga and Anime
Although the anime follows the original manga almost exactly in storyline, there are a few slight differences.
The most notable being flashbacks (such as the one in episode 1 as to how Ogen and Danjou's love came to an end)
as well as additional scenes which occur only in the anime; both of which serve to expand on the characters and
the backstory. One of the more prominent scenes added to the anime was an epilogue for the final episode which
was intended to add a sense of closure whereas the manga ends immediately after Gennosuke and Oboro's duel.
Other differences include fight scenes happening in a different order (i.e. in the manga, Oboro uncovers Jingoro's
attempt to assassinate Gennosuke before stopping Akeginu and Jousuke's duel whereas in the anime the situation
is reversed), and exposed breasts being obscured in the anime by some form of covering whereas the manga tends
to be less censored. Although, toward the end of the anime, bare breasts can be seen on a number of occasions.
