I agree with the what Key said about Samurai Gun, the series is adverage at most.
On the other hand ADV's co-production on Shin Guyver Bio Booster Armor is working. The Series is already better than the orgional OVAs. |

Gotta say, Key was right on. Samurai Gun was seriously lacking. Already have Samurai 7 vol. 1 and it was fairly good. It does not compare to The Seven Samurai, but then, i don't think Samurai 7 is meant to.

Nope, could never find it. I played Seven Samurai 20XX once at an arcade though, it wasnt very good however 
But I'd take the Samurai 7 anime over Samurai Gun anyday. Although I'll take Samurai Champloo over Samurai 7, but I'll take Samurai X/Rurouni Kenshin over Samurai Champloo, but nothing tops... Usagi Yojimbo! Not Vagabond, not Lone Wolf and Cub, not Blade of the Immortal! Bunny Samurai! |

I won't go into my dislike of Kenshin...
But Samurai 7 is an updated homage to the original movie in the same way as Kaze no Yojimbo was (Which was also awesome). S7 is supposed to be the same-but-different. I think they did a good job of respecting the original work while taking it in a new direction. It worked well. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for an anime version of Rashoman. |

Samurai Gun is by no means one of ADV's first co-productions. Whatever happened to Kino's Journey, Samurai X: Reflections, Kaleido Star, etc.?

I wasn't aware that they were involved in the co-production of Samurai X: Reflections. Anyways, while ADV has said that they are involved in several co-pros, currently they've only released a couple, Kino's Journey, BGC 2040, Kaleidostar, etc... So yeah, this is one of the first. -t |

this is what i like about Samurai Champloo: it's the only show to date to take such an tired out subject, and actually have fun with the idea.

This series looked pretty interesting from the trailer and seemed like it would be a good action series with interesting characters. Too bad the first volume got mediocre reviews from this site and Animeondvd as well. I think I'll wait until the second volume gets reviewed before I decide if I want to pick up the series or not.
