Dancing with the Storm

In a powerful empire, where shoguns rule and ancient laws and ancient arts coexist with intelligent machines and new technologies, young Yukiko and her father, the valiant warrior Masaru, are sent on a quest for the arashitora, a fearsome mystical monster from folk legends, at the whim of the ruler. It is said that arashitora have long been extinct and the fate of hunters is sad: they either return to the shogun empty-handed, risking execution, or fall into the clutches of the ruthless monster that no one has been able to capture.
