Check it Out!
If you haven't picked up any of Samurai 7 yet, go get some. It's based around Akira Kurosawa's classic tale "The Seven Samurai", which also spawned "The Magnificent Seven" of Western cinema.
This has to be the most stylish, genre-twisting anime I've seen in a long time. By way of Comparision, Cowboy Bebop takes cowboys, bounty hunters, mobsters and Ed, and puts them all in space with a style that makes it hang together. Samurai 7 takes Robots, bandits, Edo period dress, high-fashion... and of course, samurai... and makes it all beautiful.
The music is a fusion of classic Japanese rhythms ... feels like you're watching Noh sometimes... and funky jazz-rock stuff. The characters are larger than life, beautifully rendered, and persistently consistent.
If you love style, if you like fashion, if you loved the Seven Samurai, or even if you've never seen it... check it out.
Currently being subbed free for fans from Lunar and ANBU. Go get some.
