One, I'm a really big fan of periodic adventures. Pros: Lovely CG, wonderful story, engaging characters - in respect to both the heroes and villains (Kambei and Ukyo <3)Ĭons: So-so character design at times, bittersweet ending (although some may consider this a pro, hah), annoying characters (I will never like Katsushiro or Gorobei.) Perhaps it\'s a personal opinion, but the second half simply blows the first half away. I do recommend this series, although I urge people to watch it through to the end. Usually I dislike the merging of two time periods/genres, but Samurai 7 managed to pull it off splendidly.
SEVEN SAMURAI SERIES
It\'s not my favorite series for a few reasons, but I loved watching it.
Perhaps that\'s one of the reasons I enjoyed the last half as much as I did: he just made everything so interesting.For most of the last half of the series (the last episode being an exception), Ukyo is simply brilliant (both in brains and otherwise). I won\'t give anything away, but this man is definitely not all what he seems. One of the most impressive characters in the entire series is Ukyo. He seemed to have some sort of blood-letting fetish, which (while interesting) was just strange to me. I liked most of them, especially Kambei and Ukyo, but some of the samurai were just.
SEVEN SAMURAI PLUS
Overall, the sound is nice, although nothing truly spectacular.Īll of the characters of Samurai 7 are fully fleshed out, which is a huge plus in my book. Chinese drums are employed frequently, but they never really get annoying. The sound is very fitting for the scenes, and the OP is a personal favorite of mine (the ED is so-so). No matter how much I love Shichiroji as a character, I always wince the first time we meet him at the Firefly House. It\'s not a huge thing, but it is rather disappointing after such pretty backgrounds. However, it seems the artists took some liberty with the bodies of some of the samurai (Katsushiro, Gorobei, and Shichiroji in particular). Sure, the faces were beautifully rendered. the character designs, at times, were less than pleasing. The mechanical aspects were beyond amazing, and the cities jaw-dropping. In fact, I don\'t think I\'ve ever come across better.
I adore the CG and backgrounds of Samurai 7.I do appreciate the ending - considering everything that had happened before, it fit beautifully - but my romantic, happily-ever-after heart was disappointed.Īh, and here we come to a love/hate relationship for me. I think, however, that this was more of a personal opinion than anything. In fact, my favorite arc was actually after the battle for Kana village.Īs stated before, the only part of the story I disliked was around the last two episodes. Everything was well thought out, even when the anime departed from the original film\'s storyline. I love the melding of mecha and samurai it makes for incredibly interesting settings.
To me, the story of Samurai 7 is its strongest point. Still, the series was very enjoyable overall, and I\'m certainly glad I watched it. It was extremely bittersweet, and I was hoping for a bit I will say I didn\'t enjoy the ending, despite how well it fit for the series. I was pleasantly surprised by the first four episodes, and it just kept getting better.
I\'ll be honest and say that I\'ve never actually seen Seven Samurai - although I do know the plot very well - and picked up Samurai 7 because it just looked so interesting and I\'d heard quite a few rave reviews. Samurai 7 is the anime remake of Akira Kurosawa\'s Seven Samurai, one of the most influential films in Japanese history.
