Run Melos!
Movie | 1992 | Toei Animation
In the year 360 BC, when Melos left Syracuse, all he was after was a ceremonial sword for his sister's wedding. Once there, however, he received much more than he bargained for: a charge of treason against the king, and an execution date in 3 days. Wanting only to return to the village to see the wedding, the aloof Melos thus accepted a deal: his friend Celine would take his place and be executed if Melos did not return in time. Now, with only 3 days and countless obstacles in his way, he must run with all his might to return and save the life of his noble friend before he is executed...
