Product ReviewsAkira Kurosawas Samurai 7 - Vol. 1: Search for the Seven (DVD, 2005)

I absolutely love it. I'm a big fan of the series, and unfortunately the original copy I have broke around the whole where the player holds the disc.

A lame anime not worth anyone's time.

First off, the animation is poorly done. You don't always expect the best in a series.. but this was just pathetic.
The plot, was incredibly lame.. A mix of ancient oriental culture mixed with high technology, isn't exactly a likely scenario. Of course, I never made it past the first episode because of how disappointed I was, so I can't give you a full review on the entire story line..(trust me it wouldn't be worth it)
The transitions between sequences wasn't well timed.. and a lot of the time I found myself impatiently fast forwarding the DVD, trying to get past the long and unnecessarily drawn out moments where they were performing lame Japanese rituals.. trying to identify "the savior".. a rather cliche and overdone scenario you'll find in countless other anime.
Overall, the anime appeared to be a slopped together compilation mixing ancient Japanese "samurai" culture with unrealistic technology.. with a plethora of characters meeting the rather typical archetypes you find in nearly every other third rate anime. Don't watch this, as you would probably be better off wasting your time doing absolutely nothing.. YES, it's that bad..Read full review...
