5/5 One word: WOW

This is the best anime on blu-ray for now. The sound and picture are fantastic and the story is pretty cool too...I usually don't buy anime but I heard about Samurai 7 long time ago and I wanted to give it a try. It was a guess when I bought it and I don't regret it. It's simply awesome!!

5/5 Absolutely amazing in every way!!

I'll keep this short and sweet. My boyfriend owns the DVD version and we both fell in love with the show the first time we watched it. As soon as I saw it was going to be on BluRay I knew I had to have it. It is absolutely money well spent! Samurai 7 is by far one of the best animes I have ever had the pleasure of seeing and it holds a firm position in my top 5! You name it and this series has it; action, adventure, comedy, drama, amazing battle sequences, giant mechs and even a little romance. The characters are well developed and I fell in love with all of them (minus Kambei, the hero worship he receives is quite frustrating!). The animation is practically flawless (with the exception of episode 7) and the CG elements are outstanding in HD! The sound quality is what really blew me away though, everything is so crystal clear and I will not rest until I find a bumping surround sound to watch this show on!! Samurai's versus mechs may be a little hard for some people to swallow but trust me when I say, this is hands down one of the best animes ever created and if you have the money and a BR player you absolutely have to buy this BluRay box set!!

5/5 Fantastic Samurai Anime
  by A. Hartung
Samurai 7 is without a doubt one of the best samurai animes I have ever seen. It is right up there with other great shows about these honorable warriors, such as Rurouni Kenshin, Shigurui: Death Frenzy, and Sword of the Stranger.

Unlike the above shows however, what makes Samurai 7 unique is its blend of technology with feudal Japanase culture. In that regard it is similar to Afro Samurai, though in my opinion it is portrayed more realistically and not thrust into the viewer's face the way it is in Afro Samurai.

The blu-ray transfer is spectacular, with both the visuals and the audio flowing crisply and vibrantly from your HD television. Also, unlike many animes the english dub is fantastic, and the entire cast does a great job.

Bottom line: Believable characters, good story line, beautiful animation and sound and great fight scenes without an excess of gore. Samurai 7 has style and substance, but it is definitely not style over substance (Afro Samurai anyone?). Highly recommended!

5/5 Great Series

A classic japanese film remade into a semi-futuristic anime. It stays true to the source material and expands it. It was one of the most enjoyable animes I've seen in a while.

4/5 A great anime series!

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.
