Has anyone else seen this fantastic anime?
Samurai 7
It's a 26 part reworking of Akira Kurasawa's Seven Samurai and reportedly cost around $300,000 per episode to make, meaning it is one of the most expensive animes of all time.
Now, I'm not normally one for anime, I've watched a reasonable amount and nothing has really grabbed me. I've found it largely style over substance, or generic fantasy nonsense. Samurai 7, however, is a very thorough reworking of the original and it has lost none of its depth (and it could even be argued that many areas have been given even more depth thanks partly to the lengthier total run time). It's not all story though, and the action scenes are pretty damn impressive.
Anyway, I urge you all if you haven't seen it to go and do so as soon as you can. You can get it for about £20 I think.
