Synopsis
Buddha 2: The Endless Journey (2014) is a Japanese animated film you can watch online on iFILM — the second feature adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's manga series, produced by Tezuka Productions and directed by Toshiaki Komura. Runtime: 120 minutes.
Prince Siddhartha of the Shakya clan walks away from his throne and begins wandering India 2,500 years ago. He crosses paths with Assaji, a boy who can see what's coming, a one-eyed monk, and a young woman named Depa. While Siddhartha wrestles with the nature of suffering, Prince Ruri of Kosara has set his army against the Shakya clan.
Tezuka's source material treats the Buddha as a man shaped by grief and chance rather than a saint above it. The film carries that humanist thread through Tezuka's classic visual style — a noticeable contrast to modern anime. Stream Buddha 2: The Endless Journey online on iFILM.
