Viewing Notes
Another Samurai Seven riff and one I’ve wanted to watch for a long time. Definitely a title that deserves a great release and shocking that a label hasn’t done it. Such a wild film that kinda lives with the Nobuhiko Obayashi high school films of the early eighties.
Glad the the fansub is on YT but it’s so dark and murky the only way to view it is on a small screen. Looked like garbage on my MacBook.
