I got this based on the reviews and this is my first experience with Samurai 7 and I can say that I am very impressed by it. The picture quality is pretty decent, though not the best that I’ve seen for animes, partially due to the style of the series. The only negative I can say in this review is about the condition of the product when I received it. When I opened the package, the spine of the cardboard was sort of ripped and when I took one of the cases out a whole entire corner was broken off of the case. Not really a big deal, but just as a note, Amazon (and affiliates) need to ensure the packing is done better to insure that these things don’t happen.

This was a very entertaining series, it isn’t quite as dark as some of my favorites(Mushishi, Kino no tabe, Darker than Black, Gun Slinger Girls, Black Lagoon) but it is quite good. The Series is an odd mix of feudal Japan and science fiction, which I quite enjoyed.

I’ll simply say, awesome. I loved this series when watched on the net before it was picked up by an American distributor. Now it’s even better watching it on my bluray player on my 50 inch plasma. Packaging was okay and all discs were in perfect condition.

Imagine combining all the best elements of classic and modern anime, manga, and Japanese folklore to re-tell one of the greatest stories ever told. With great drawing, writing, directing, and sound effects, Samurai 7 does that.
This series was originally created for television. So don’t expect it to be as visually-stunning as Appleseed Ex Machina, for example. But what the series lacks in budget it makes up for in skill, talent, and ingenuity.
You’ll never see the same scene twice, because the settings, angles, filters, lighting, shading, etc. are constantly changing. In each of the 26 episodes, there’ll be 3-4 moments where you’ll go, “Wow, that looked amazing, what a brilliant idea it was for the director to….”
If Akira Kurosawa, the legendary director of Seven Samurai (1954), were still alive today, he would be proud of this series. Everyone involved in its making should stand up and take a bow.
