Samurai 7 comes to a spectacular conclusion in a prolonged battle that occupies most of the last three episodes. To protect Kanna village, Kambei and his mismatched band attack the Capitol, the newly proclaimed Emperor Ukyo's equivalent of the Death Star. The warriors perform gravity-defying leaps, as they slash through steel, deflect bullets, and split laser beams with their swords. The outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion, although director Toshifumi Takizawa throws in a few unexpected twists. Samurai 7 is a baroque mecha adventure that offers plenty of over-the-top battle sequences for viewers who want a mixture of feudal and futuristic derring-do. But to pretend its meandering plot, stock heroes, and tinpot villains have anything to do with Akira Kurosawa's brilliant Seven Samurai is merely silly. This limited edition comes with a collector's box that holds all seven discs. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 12 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon

A warning for collectors May 30, 2006
Jose Ibanez (Eatontown, NJ)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Volume 7 concludes the spectacular Samurai 7 tv series.
It goes without saying that if you haven't seen the show from the beginning, this isn't the place to start. Go back and watch this show from the beginning. I wrote a pretty in-depth review for the first disc if you're interested.
If you've been collecting the show, there's no reason not to get this disc. However, another version of this dvd exists that comes with a box to fit all 7 volumes. As a collector who likes his DVDs to look as good on the shelf as on the TV, I would strongly recommend the version with the box as opposed to the version without.
Great series. August 27, 2006

Samurai 7 has been a wonderful ride. The story has been engaging the whole way and I haven't been disappointed with a single volume. This dvd was no exception. I won't offer any spoilers except to say that the last episode seemed to fall a little flat to me, but not enough to detract from the series as a whole, and it stayed true to Akira Kurosawa's original 7 Samurai.
One of the Top Ten Best Anime Series of all Times July 26, 2008
F. W. Brizzolara III (Houston, TX USA)
Based on the original Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa, this remarkable series has a great story that builds on each of the characters. Similar to the original story, the seven are hired by a poor village (with only rice for payment) to defend against barbaric forces. The people pay the barbarians their produce to keep them from destroying their village. The Samurai accept their offer but accept only the millet (rice byproduct that the villagers eat) and nobly defend their village. Everyone must see this fantastic epic.
Fabulous Conclusion June 22, 2008
L. B. Bryant (Astoria, OR)
Not everything about this series was perfect and I never claimed that it was. In the end, I can't say that I was completely happy with how the stories were ended. In particular is one story resolution that the audience is completely robbed from seeing. In the grand scheme of things though, the primary story is wrapped up very well though it does leave the audience with a serious desire to find out what happens next. Universally praised, this is a series that every anime fan will want to see at some point in their lives and one that I would gladly recommend to anyone else looking for something good to watch.
