I just watched the first 6 episodes of the new GONZO series, Samurai 7.
It's based on the widely known Arira Kurosawa movie "Seven Samurais".
It's amazing: flawless animation, character designs, plot (obviously), direction, etc. A masterpiece.
The action happens in a alternate 'middles-ages Japan' world, where along with the 'normal' samurai exists a kind of samurai that exchange their bodies for mechanical bodies to improve their effectiveness in combat - their are called 'No-buseri'. A long war had ended, and the society is being restablished by the merchants, founding big cyberpunk styled cities. And there's no place for the samurai in this new social structure, so the No-buseri, only able to combat, starts to loot farmers villages to survive.
The character designs are a mxed bag, but all good: characters varies from ghibli styled designs to Argento Soma ones. They are incredible. The massive mecha war at the first episode is stunning - GONZO's CG at their finest. The production clearly have a high budget, top notch animation, OVA quality, despite the fact it's a TV series.
It really worth see. People with a refined taste for anime (like Merc and Dallas_Five
) will love it. One of the best anime series that I watched so far.
PS: Samurai7's samurais = FSS's headdliners

please don't start assuming things that way. I'm not that into the anime scene in the last couple of years like I was used to, but I'm pretty tuned about the actual releases. I just don't use to discuss anime here frequently.
