The series does well in that it knows when to let the sounds of the environment set the tone, from windy snowfields, to cramped up bars and wild marshes. Add in some melancholic trumpets for down-time, along with some icy violins to signal danger, and you have a solid soundtrack. The soundtrack consists of guitars and harmonicas that would fit any western, creating a mood of being stuck out in a desolate town in the middle of nowhere. There are a few filler episodes, yet smaller things that are established in these episodes are brought up again later, making the series strong as a whole despite some weak individual moments. The show has an over-arching plot that connects nearly all episodes, doing so with sensible pacing, where the stakes slowly get higher in a natural way. ![]() With a strong base to build upon, Kaze no Yojimbo starts off as an intriguing series, with a cast of characters that feel human and fleshed out. It all captures a certain air of je-ne-sais-quoi that makes it charming. and to top it off a lost train filled with bricks of gold. The strong protagonist with no name that wanders in to stir up the community, the rivalling families that strive for power, the thirst for revenge, One thing that is clear however is the atmosphere, which despite taking place in a modern setting, could easily fit a samurai or western story. I have yet to see the movie so this review will not make any direct comparisons. Kaze no Yojimbo is a re-imagined tale based on Akira Kurosawa’s movie Yojimbo, the story of a ronin that enters a village only to find it controlled by two opposing gangs, which he decides to play against each other. I truly recommend this anime to all lovers of mystery anime. If you can get past the animation which is not hard to do for such a great anime and the 'stupid teenage woman' you can really enjoys putting the pieces together and all the twists that come with this anime. She has a crush on George and I guess you could say is the average 'stupid teenage woman' you see in anime.Other than her I enjoyed the steady development of the characters and each ones secrets and personality. Just one character did I want to kill.The fact I can't remember her names shows how much I hate her. I enjoyed the op song and watched it every time instead of skipping it.The dramatic music they would play when someone was killed or a new 'piece' was found I thought fit in well with the anime.Īlmost of of the characters are great. Dont get me wrong the fight scenes were very good and realistic.It was just when they were sitting and talking.So overall even though I hate to I can only give it a 7 for art. disappointment.There were a few 'still scenes'.The characters did not blink as often as they should have. Then just when I thought I figured it out something new would show up and keep me guessing.It had several 'small pieces' you could pick up along the way and fit together. It kept me wondering what really happened in the small town 15 years ago. I found this anime i this site and after looking all over the Internet and not finding it I spent 20 bucks and bought it.I found it to be a great buy! I really enjoyed the story and the main character. ![]() Usagi's animal-world adventures would also have a huge impact on manga becoming more mainstream in America, as well as other works inspired by manga doing the same.Well, let me first say this is my first review so bear with me! Increasing the brand's awareness were several crossovers with the TMNT, who were part of another franchise inspired by Japanese film, concepts and culture. It also featured many Japanese cultural and historical elements in order to accurately portray its time period. The book's art style and storytelling drew heavily from samurai movies and other Japanese cinema, namely the works of Akira Kurosawa. Usagi appeared in a few other independent comic books before Sakai gave him his own ongoing, which has been published by several companies, including Dark Horse, Mirage Studios and IDW Publishing. Chief among them was Miyamoto Usagi, a samurai rabbit based loosely off of Miyamoto Musashi, who traversed his world as a sword-wielding bodyguard. After jokingly drawing a samurai rabbit, however, Sakai reworked the idea, keeping the feudal Japan-based setting while making all of the characters into anthropomorphic animals. Usagi Yojimbo is the creation of Japanese-American cartoonist Stan Sakai, who originally thought of making a comic book about the historical adventures of Japanese figures such as Miyamoto Musashi.
