Yay! I get to talk about Samurai 7! I'm also trying to catch up with Brad in posts. Lol. So, since I suck at summaries, I will just write what's on the back of my box set....

"Set in a futuristic world that has just witnessed the end of a massive war, scores of villages are terrorized by Nobuseri bandits. But the Nobuseri are no normal bandits. They were once Samurai, who during the war integrated their living cells with machines to become dangerous weapons now appearing more machine than man. Absolute power corrupts, and their rein of terror is increasing its hold on the countryside. But one group of villagers has had enough, deciding to hire samurai to protect their village. Kirara is a young priestess who travels to the city seeking out protection. One by one, she encounters brave samurai that the war has left behind. These men of skill and valor are each unique and not without their quirks. But can they come together as one to defend the helpless village?"

So yeah.... Some of them do not survive, and two of my favorites died. I won't say who it is that dies though. You will have to watch it to find out. There are only 26 episodes, so it is fairly short.

The samurai are: Kambei, Kikuchiyo, Shichiroji, Katsushiro (a favorite of mine), Gorobei, Kyuzo (another favorite of mine), and Heihachi (another favorite of mine. And voiced by Greg Ayres, one of my favorite voice actors). So, you should watch it. It will be worth it.
