Summary:
In the far distant future, on a planet that might have been called "earth", there was a war between samurai who mechanized their bodies. After the long war, people enjoyed a modest peace.
Facing starvation and abductions at the hands of fearsome mechanized bandits (Nobuseri), the farmers of Kanna Village make the dangerous choice to hire samurai for protection. The village's water priestess, Kirara, her younger sister, Komachi, and a heartbroken villager, Rikichi, set off to hire willing samurai with nothing to offer but rice from their meager harvests. Through dangerous encounters and a bit of luck, seven samurai of varying specialties and experience are gathered for an epic battle against the bandits and the merchants that influence them.
Samurai 7 is based loosely upon Kurosawa Akira's famous movie "Seven Samurai"/"Shichinin no Samurai"

The story was really amazing I like it how creator try to make to samurai try defeat bandits.
but its still was not good enough because the anime was actually based on Japanese Movie called "Samurai 7" (1954) , so it was like watching True Stories movies you can't edit anything because you don't OWN the Actual Story-line .. so in the end its your choice to like or dislike it.
Other than the story the Anime is Great and you can't miss it and I did not regret once a bit for watching it.
One of the greatest samurai movies of all time get re-imagined with a steampunk theme. Seven samurai are hired to protect the village of kanna from giant mechanized bandits and the motley crew of samurai's soon find out that they have a bit off more than they can chew.
Studio Gonzo really did Kurosawa proud with this series, The retelling of the story stays true to the original while making enough changes that things stay fresh even if you saw the original movie.
oh yeah, go check out the original movie and any of Kurosawa's samurai movies (read more)

1 of the best animes ive seen, and ive seen alot
good action good story for a short anime, definatly 1 of my favourites
This is a genuinely good anime, i remember watching it long ago when it was first released and wanted to watch again. It does drag a bit in the beginning and near the end mainly due to need to build story for the remaining episodes. However the it is not the easist story to understand.
It starts with a small peasant village named Kanna Village seeking samurai to defend and drive off the bandits that rob the peasant villages yearly. The find 7 of them and bring them back and fight. The story builds and declines during this time because even after (read more)

The story builds and declines during this time because even after this goal is accomplished there is still more to the series.
The story does tend to focus on the samurai mainly and their growth as individuals as well as changing the ways of the world for the better. (show less)
Excellente! The Samurai Genre is one of the most "cliche" themes in anime. But this anime series has the ff:
good depth, likeable and well crafted characters, terrific action without straining your eyes, and many twists and turns in the plot. Highly recommended for your time.
