This Anime Blogs theme is about the Samurai and ninja. A little history to lay on you: Most ninja were actually once Samurai. Many Samurai were left without there masters (they are called ronin) after wars, conflicts or disbandment of their respected clans. In many ways a ninjas fighting style is often used to combat the weaknesses of the Samurai. For example many of there swords were blunt to cause swords to break easily when blocked, they used bombs filled with powdered glass, peppers and other nasty things to blind opponents and of course used throwing stars and any means necessary to kill and also escape.

This is a bit different from Samurai because they wanted to do all things somewhat honorable so using cheap shots weren't necessary something they would attempt. If a samurai draws his sword he must use it, thats why frequently you see samurai grabbing the handle because they are threatening to draw their blade.

OK OK I'll shut up, I know you guys don't want to learn anything and just want to download whatever I suggest from some piracy site. Be sure to purchase Anime that you like to support the industry. I personally think that if you've watched the entire series of something (illegally or by other means) you should go pick it up on DVD. A few of these series are available free to stream.

oh I'm preaching again here it is.
