Seven Samurai

ADULT SWIM just added SAMURAI SEVEN to its Sat night/Sun morn schedule. It is interesting to see the 7 as robots.

Jeffbert I saw that shpow last night. It is interesting. But I don't think all seven are Robots.

I stand corrected. Anyway, Toshiro Mifune's character is that big clunky robot. There is a ton of embellishment in this, but it is a rather entertaining series, & when juxtaposed with the original & the M7, I think it stands up rather well.

Currently watching Samurai 7 on Toonami. So far, it's looking good and I would recommend everyone to watch it (and stay with it, it takes some time to get up to speed). I have seen six episodes on Hulu so far.

Going to try to pick up Seven Samurai eventually, just not sure when.

You can watch complete episodes here.
In fact you can watch a lot of this here!

I 1st watched this several years ago via DVDs borrowed from NETFLIX; & while I much prefer Japanese & subtitles, I do want to see it in HD.

I'll have to check that out. Haven't had much free time this week, due to a busy work week and the start of Fall semester.
Magnificent 7 finally came and I watched it. It had a little faster pace and was a good hour shorter than its Japanese predecessor. It was fun seeing which scenes were almost identical and which were completely different. I haven't watched it with the commentary on yet, since I lent it to my dad, but I plan to, once I get it back.
