Even though I’ve never seen Seven Samurai I was still expecting great things from Samurai 7, probably because Gonzo had chosen to go with a concept that was developed by the master of Japanese cinema Akira Kurosawa. So far this first disk does not disappoint, with a nice relaxed pace that takes its time to introduce the characters and the setting, along with some kinetic action sequences and a nice dollop of humour. While futuristic settings are common place in anime, I like the way in which Gonzo have managed to meld the old with the new, without the whole setting coming across as forced or contrived.
