This is one of my favourite anime series, this is based on the original & Seven samurai, where 7 samurai are hired by peasents to protect them from bandits.
In this its the same story, but adapted to bring a more sci fi feel to it. Instead of war with just samurai, Japan is now in a age where samurai can be turned into robots, by transferring their souls into gaint mechanised robots.
Th samurai hired are gathered from the city where the merchant have risen from the samurai's downfall.and has complete control over the land.The peasents still in the original peasent way, with no technology are anually robbed by the bandits, womena dn rice taken from them, those who try to rebel are wiped off the face of the earth, never to be heard of again.
Seven samurai are gathered, and destroys the merchants, and the bandits. freeing the Peasents, while the samurai live with blood on their hands.
I wanted to tell you guys more, but I don't want to spoil the story.
This dvd has the following features, 2 audio, english and Japanese. character info, and some breif history on the movie and story. chracter or anime pictures that you can download onto your computer. and trailers of other anime.
This is a good series that anyone can get into even if you have never seen the seven samurai movie like me, though it makes you want to see it.
