Anime Description: Samurai 7
Based on Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, the story comes now as an anime series, except taken to the next level. Set in the future, where humans have turned into war, people have begun turning their bodies to into bulking, mechanical creations, and the bigger, the better.
The Nobuseri, a band of mechanical Samurai warriors, intend to take the rice harvested by farmers from the village, so in response, the elder of Kanna Village has sent Kilara, Komachi, and Rikichi to Kougyakou to meet up with seven Samurai warriors: Kanbei, Katsushirou, Shichiroji, Heihachi, Kyuzo, Gorobei, and finally, the armored Kikuchiyou. Now this band of seven fearless Samurai warriors will have to battle the Nobuseri and their emperor, Ukyou, as well as prepare the villager's men for battle.
