r/retroanime2000

It's watchable in my opinion, not bad or good either. The story and the ending were predictable. The protagonist is a milf, the best part of the show btw

It holds a special place in my heart and soul because it was one of the early anime series I got into in the early 2010s when I was a fish-out-of-water new comer to manga and anime. Not my all time favorite anime series but it's enjoyable in both the Dub and the Sub.

The 1954 Akira Kurosawa film Seven Samurai is obviously superior to the anime

• The romance subplot between Okamoto Katsushiro and Kirara Mikumari was completely and utterly pointless like we introduce it if you weren't going to do anything at all. Plus Kirara Mikumari had zero interest in Okamoto Katsushiro.
• Okamoto Katsushiro wasn't intelligent enough to see it either until the series conclusion where goes from Simp to Chad but I'm still upset about what this fuck up did to Heihachi and Kyuzo.
• My two favorite characters of the seven samurai are Kikuchiyo and Kyuzo.
• The chemistry between Shimada Kanbei and Kyuzo is nice I wish more was done with it like it leans so into the "Ho Yay and like historically, gay relationship were commonplace among the Samurai.
