About Early Reins
The good, the bad, and the drop-dead gorgeous. The train en route to Sunshine Hill City holds six very deadly and beautiful women. In the days of stagecoaches, cowboys, and highway robbery. On this particular day when a steam-train hauling valuable cargo is hijacked by rogue bandits, it's up to 6 female strangers to save the day. These ladies prove that you don't have to be a man to stop the bad guys.
Directed by Yuji Asada, Early Reins leans on a strong ensemble — Tomoko Kawakami, Aiko Yanagihara, Yuko Mizutani — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2003.
