The worst part of Gonzo's animated remake of Akira Kurosawa's classic samurai drama wasn't the things it added (giant robots and spaceship-slicing samurai) or the things it removed (Kurosawa's dark humor), but rather those it faithfully preserved.


Wow! You summarized my feelings about that series perfectly! If they'd actually changed the story more (ala my beloved Gankutsuou), it would've been way better.

But they really made Katsuhiro the main character in the manga? One of the things I actually liked about the anime series was that it had an interesting female lead.

I think I'm going to Hell for laughing at the likening of Kambei to action-Jesus.
