It was an older animated movie on VHS, the only scene i remember is a town gets attacked and the mayor gets burned alive, i think its set in feudal japan 100 highfives if you help me figure it out!
Might need a little more info then that. Can't say tons of mayors get burned alive, but I know there will be many anime that have something similar. Also how many years are we talking about. We have access to more then 40 years worth anime from multiple countries.(yes I know anime is strictly Japanese, doesn't mean the OP can differentiate between them though)
True true, i watched it in 1999 i think, but im pretty sure there was more then 1 movie, it might not have been a mayor, but it was a fat guy and the narrator said something like "his body burned for 3 days" or something like that. Thats pretty much all i remember Maybe
