Movie Reviews of Samurai 7 - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Best Anime Ever...in my opinion.
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah boy! This by far is the best Anime I have ever seen. This is a really good anime set if you are definetly into samurai. This was a kind of cooler futuristic remake of the old Japanese classic, Seven Samurai. I have not seen but I guess it must be good because of how awesome this turned out. I really liked how all of the samurai in the show come from different places but they are all pretty much related because of the "Great War." Another aspect I really enjoyed was the particular episode when Kambei (the main character) sharpens his sword on the whetstone, I mean to me that was just awesome. This box set is cool because it comes with seven little booklets that comes with cool art from the show and little interviews of the creators of this Anime. However I think the price is a bit too high for this item. I mean I bought my set at F.Y.E. for only $49.99 not for $79.99. (However I would of bought anyway at this price because it so good!) Anyway if your not so sure on buying this because it doesn't look so good, I would suggest that you give it a shot because you wont regret it.
Summary of Samurai 7 - The Complete Series
Legendary Epic Reborn!This 7-disc set contains the enitre Samurai 7 saga - over 11 hours of action!Samurai 7 is set in a futuristic world that has just seen the end of a massive war many villages are being terrorized by Nobuseri bandits. The Nobuseri are no normal bandits. They were once men but during the war they modifed themselves with machines to become living weapons and now apprear as more machine than man. A group of villagers decide to hire samurai to protect their village. These men of valor are as skilled as they are unique. Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Artist: SAMURAI 7 Rating: PG UPC: 704400058325 Manufacturer No: 1-4210-1304-5The broadcast series Samurai 7 (2004) borrows the premise of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (1954): driven to desperation by bandits who steal their crops, the inhabitants of a small village hire unemployed samurai to defend them. With nothing to offer as wages but their precious rice, the villagers recruit warriors poor enough to accept the dishonor of working for peasants. Samurai 7 moves the story into the future: the bandits and some of the samurai are mecha. The grim ronin Kambei leads the viewers in the defense of their village, then tackles the forces of the orchidaceous emperor Ukyo. Kambei and his mismatched band attack the Capitol,Ukyo's equivalent of the Death Star. The warriors perform gravity-defying leaps, as they slash through steel plating, deflect bullets, and split laser beams with their swords in a climactic battle that occupies most of the last three episodes. The drawn/CG combinations reveal why Samurai 7 cost a reported „32,500,000 (nearly $300,000) per episode, an extremely high price by Japanese standards.
Widely acclaimed as a masterpiece of world cinema, Kurosawa's Seven Samurai stressed the shared humanity of the peasants, the samurai, and even the bandits; the often grotesque people and mecha in this sci-fi adventure lack that essential bond. Samurai 7 offers plenty of over-the-top battle sequences for viewers who enjoy a mixture of feudal and futuristic daring-do. But its meandering plot, stock heroes, and tin pot villains have very little to do with its supposed model. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, brief nudity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
