Samurai 7

Anime adaptation of an old (1954) movie called Seven Samurai. The story was retold and placed in the world of very advanced technology mixed with traditional Japan. It tells the story of the village called Kanna, which "harrased" by group of bandits decides to hire a group of samurai to protect them. Sounds very simple ? yeahh maybe, but every single one of them is a real character and they all create an interesting and deadly party. Last thig that i want to mention - Samurai 7 was a very expensive anime, where one episode was costing ¥32,500,00 ( $300.000) !!! to produce.





What do I think about Samurai 7 ?

+ many, very interesting characters
+ development of characters behaviour
+ unusual and, what is the most important, very good and interesting mix of traditional Japan and hi tech( I was scared how can it look like, but I was really surprised)

- final battle, which was a little bit ridiculous
- having such a big budget, screenwriters should make the storyline a little bit more interesting( after the end of a certain action in the story)
- 3D, for some people it looks cool and fresh , for others it just looks bad


Samurai 7  -  8/10



* This is my personal opinion, which means that this is how I see this anime - what i liked and what I think that should be done better. It also goes with grading each anime - I won't change anything because someone else said so. If you would like to talk about the above anime leave a comment. Every one of them will be read ;)
