A dark fantasy western which serves an allegorical tale of the dangers of fanaticism (Not only the religious kind, despite the heavy religious imagery used here) and how blindly following the crowd can lead to barbarism.
It has a very gritty animation style, with all the characters having a creepy, frankly grotesque appearance, almost if all the characters were walking corpses (Very apt, considering the overall tone of the story and especially the grim conclusion)
In addition to that, the plot is quite somber, with the tramp being the only likeable character, and the only one who provides some humor to a pretty sinister story: Once he dies, things quickly go downhill for everyone, and absolutely no one is spared.
Pretty somber, but also quite well done. And with some nice songs.
