Akira Kurasawa Best Director Ever ^ D. Burger really needs to pay attention to product descriptions. There's a reason why this won't play in European PS3 Blu-ray players, it's because European PS3's do not share the same Blu-ray region codes as North America. This Blu-ray release Samurai 7 is for Region A. Region A only includes North America and Japan.
His review is based on misleading information. Funimation only has the rights to release this Blu-ray version of Samurai 7 for Region A.
Only for non-Americans: This bluray is not code-free ^ Living in europe, I have the wrong country code. For many blurays this is no issue. But Samurai 7 does not play on a european playstation :-( Otherwise, I'm sure it's a great disc.
great show with a slow start ^ the show starts extremely slow, but once you get into the second disk it takes off! Once the plot is set the show doesn't let up! i definitely recommend this show its got a great storyline and an awesome price ($40) its not my favorite show but its definitely worth watching at least once
Cool Anime Series Love it on Bluray ^ 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.
An absolute must-own for anime fans ^ 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.
