As the 2004 broadcast series Samurai 7 continues, "water priestess" Kirara and the other peasant-recruiters fill their quota of seven warriors and lead them back to Kanna village to fight the crop-stealing bandits. Kambei and his comrades tell the villagers that their hamlet is now Kanna Castle, and they must join in its defense; the farmers reluctantly build fortifications and practice archery. But before they left the city, the samurai easily defeated several of the robot-bandits in a skirmish, so their threatened attack doesn't feel like much to worry about. Samurai 7 is supposed to be adapted from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, but it's really just a flimsy sci-fi epic in which the villains sneer, "Keep your eyes in the dirt, where they belong," and the good guys portentously declare, "Because I am a samurai!" (Unrated, suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews of Samurai 7, Vol. 3 - From Farm to Fortress
The Heart of the Anime Revealed It was clear that volumes one and two of Samurai 7 were specifically meant to introduce the characters of the story, and these volumes do so fairly well while still presenting the conflict and the story along the way. Volume three, though, gets much deeper into the story since the character intros are out the way, and action also gets a little role here as well, though this could be found in the other volumes. <

>In volume three, the final samurai, who's introduced earlier as an enemy, is brought on board early on and from there the samurai make their way to the village which they had gathered together to protect. Once here, the anime gets great. Anyone who has seen the classic movie Seven Samurai will begin to see all the similarities the anime of nearly the same name shares. I'd hate to spoil the rest of the anime, so I'll keep the rest to myself. I will say that one of the samurai reveals a surprising past, and another learns what is needed to be a samurai. This happens in one episode, and this is easily the best of the first twelve. <

>This anime is turning slowly into a great, and I'm a believer that it is Gonzo's current best, with the controversial Gantz being in second. I'd recommend this volume to anyone who enjoyed the first two, and to anyone who is a fan of Gonzo. Also, it's beginning to pay its respect to the classic movie, so I'd also recommend it to those of you who love Seven Samurai.
