About a month ago, I was up hella late, it was like 3am or something (I guess, depending on how you look at it, I was either up hella late or really early haha) ANYWAYS 
I was flipping through the channels and I came accross this movie on the IFC channel that was m uber amazing. I came into it a lil over halfway so I watched like 20min of it and so I decided to just change the channel and either buy it or try to download it if I couldn't find it on the interwebs. Well my point is, I forgot about it the next day and now its been a month or so, give or take. And for the friggin life of me, I cannot remember what it was called. It was japense ivan pretty sure. Not only did the language sound like it (it was in English subtitles) and it had that Japense signature style. It was a live action movie but it had the anime flavor to it. And it has amazing choreography, dialogue, story line, and character development, etc etc. So I was hoping if I describe the plot that someone could help me figure it out. Oh and the only part of the name I remember is that it starts with "The" and the first letter in the next word was "R" so it was The *something* that begins with an "R" lol I know that was prolly like no help but I figured I would just throw it out there anyways. And so the plot is about this warrior during feudal Japan who ended up getting ambushed and we wakes up in another realm and is being hunted by demons and ends up meeting this girl who if I remember correctly is the princess of the realm he is in (but don't quote me on that. I can't remember what her role was. But I do remember that she seemed important in that realm and she also turns out to be an exact look a like, and reincarnation of his dead lover from the earth realm. And I remember watching one of the fight scenes where he is fighting two demons and they have the chains that they can have come out of their bodies and they not only are used to attack. But they use them to move around a lot faster and it lets them grip onto the trees and move around that way, swinging ans all that over the top choreography, aerobatics. Kind of reminded me of how doc octupus from Spiderman movies around using his lil metal arms and troopers. But these guys are way more nimble and fast and they are chains with these like motive things in the ends that open up and bite down on stuff. Oh and one more thing. When he kills a demon their bodies turn into energy and that energy turns into these medallions that he is collecting on his journey.
So yea, I think those of you who are into these kind or movies as well as animes (just to clarify again tho, this isn't an anime, its a live-action movie but it has the anime feel to it if that makes sense) so like I was saying. Those of you who like these kind it movies can tell, based on the small part of the plot, why I want to find this movie so bad. Soooooo please someone help me out with this. I will forever be in the debt of the one who figures it out.
