I haven’t done an anime review in a while so here’s one today about a relatively new series called ‘Samurai 7’:
Samurai 7 is a classical story with a twist about a group of farmers who are being oppressed by a group of tyrannical overlords know as the Nobuseri, who are ruined samurais. They rob the villagers of nearly all the crops they grow and because they have no way to fight them they must obey their orders.
Faced with starvation, the villagers send out a mission to find and recruit some samurai to defend them. With no pay to offer except rice, and knowing full well that only down-on-their-luck samurai would even consider accepting such a deal, the villagers can only hope that their saviours will appear before the rice is ready for harvest.
Once the small group reach the city they face many challenges, not least finding a samurai prepared to help them. As their quest progresses they run into a number of interesting characters some with more admirable intentions than others. As you can probably imagine they slowly build up an oddball group of samurai, some more able than others but all with a taste for war!
As these things go the animation is at the better end of the scale with some nice use of CG to create some pretty cool action scenes. One of the main reasons why I like Japanese anime is due to its ability to slow down time at exactly the right moment to pull you into the frame and feel the moment, a technique well employed by Samurai 7.
🙂 Thanks – it's a cool series, shame I've not had a chance to finish watching it yet!

me encanta chaoooo
i myself loved the series i was really dissapointed by the ending. literally there were tears. But i still love it.
I also loved this anime, Samurai 7. My favorites are Kyuzo, Haihatchi, and Ukyo. 🙂
Kyuzo is just awesome, the way he fights, and hardly says a word. And I also think he may be an albino? Red eyes, blond hair, and white skin? Lol. But hes still cool all the less. 🙂
Haihatchi is just so cute, hes got such a outgoing and nice attitude. hehe. 🙂
Ukyo, is well…Just a creepy, man whore, ba*stard. Lmao, but I still like the way he acts, hes got such a snobby, almost childish attitude. “She will sparkle brightly whens shes polished.” My favorite line of his, how he says it. hehe, in english of course. Ive watched this series in Japanese, and now I wanna see it english, it doesnt seem all that bad in english, this series anyways. 🙂
