Kurozuka - Episode 12
Chapter XII
The Black Tomb
Kuro finally arrives at his destination. The beginning intro of the episode is already involved with the actual episode as Kuro enters the place. One of the guys there comes to stop him.
I really liked Kuro’s attitude towards him, along with his "scrotum" sentence. It’s cool to see him finally acting up to his strength lol
After some more talk, the action begins. I really liked this scene, really cool and well done. I’m actually enjoying this episode a lot more that I though I would.
After Kuro kills the weaker guys, comes the stronger kabuki player. He attacks Kuro and has the upper hand until Kuro turns on his green beast mode and kills him instantly.
Everything starts falling apart, and blood starts gushing out of everywhere. Everyone is dead now least for Kuro and Kuromitsu.
Kuro goes to Kuromitsu and actually finds her with Benkei who is still alive after all this time.
I’m not gonna go into much detail into all that. All that’s important is that Benkei also has an inexplicable crush on Kuromitsu and that’s the main reason he betrayed Kuro.
They fight and Kuro wins. Kuro is tired and wants to die but, Kuromitsu really loves him. He’s the only thing that can make her withstand eternity.
So, the cycle repeats it self. All of it, the future comes, organizations and groups following Kuromitsu are formed once again. Kuromitsu mentions their relationship being unlike anything in the world.
This final scenes are really awesome, fast paced and well animated, and about that, the whole episode had really good production and animation.
And we go back to the past when Kuro and Benkei fought some soldiers. Kuro feels like this has happened before. The camera zooms out and we see the ruins of an advanced city surrounding the woods were Kuro is. This subtly lets us know that it’s been happening long before the happenings of the first episode. So this really is a story of eternal love that will continue to repeat it seld forever. Kuro also doesn’t even know for how long it has happened, probably since the beginning of time. The story suddenly turns quiet epic.
Although I always enjoyed this series, I didn’t have much motivation to watch the end but, I actually loved it. It’s my favorite episode from the series. Not everything makes absolute sense but, it’s in this kind of story’s nature.
This final episode made this series into one of my all-time favorite, really an epic ending in such a short time.
This probably isn’t an anime for everybody but, I highly recommend it. It’s very unique and original.

I think Kurozuka is a really good anime. It had some bumps along the way but, for a short series, it had a lot of good episodes and an awesome ending, as far I’m concerned.
