In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Sugimoto "Immortal" Saichi scratches out a meager existence during the postwar gold rush in the wilderness of Hokkaido. When he stumbles across a map to a fortune in hidden Ainu gold, he sets off on a treacherous quest to find it. But Sugimoto is not the only interested party, and everyone who knows about the gold will kill to possess it. Faced with the harsh conditions of the northern wilderness, ruthless criminals and rogue Japanese soldiers, Sugimoto will need all his skills and luck - and the help of an Ainu girl named Asirpa - to survive.

Trivia
"Golden Kamuy" creator Satoru Noda named the protagonist after his great-grandfather Saichi Sugimoto, who had served in the Russo-Japanese war as a soldier in the 7th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army.

However, he has said that his ancestor is not a model for any character in the story.

Quotes
[repeated line]
Sugimoto Saichi: I am the Immortal Sugimoto!

Crazy credits
The second season's opening credits ("Reimei") are in gold.

The series title in this sequence is at the bottom of the river.

10/10

Another perfect anime

At first this is one of the most insane anime i ever seen, somehow true japan :) Secondly this show is amazing in every aspect. The story, the dialogues, the images, the characters, the scenes so everything is just how it should be for me. It also gives us alot intresting information about the life and culture of some tiny nations of the Northern Far East, what i extremly enjoyed.

Another great thing is the ainu theme. The natives of Hokkaido who was almost completly exterminated by the japan authorities in the last 200 years.

Respect for the creators!
