Surprisingly good for a tv series movie spinoff. Even the sword fights are top-notch, with some innovative moves not seen in the original film. Definitely worth a watch, despite only one actor returning from the original film, reprising the spearman role. A lot of closeup shots, but that’s normal for a tv series, and Gosha’s style and talent are still prominently on display here. Also, has a great soundtrack (especially beautiful and melancholy guitar theme).
Luckily, even though the series was made before the movie, Gosha decided to come back to it in 1970, and these two episodes actually feel like the first episodes in a first season.The trio comes together gradually,and we are introducede to everything gradually.
Fast-paced and fun, but still has that depth and professionalism the movie had. Shame these are the only two Gosha episodes that survive (or at least are available with English subtitles, though I haven’t heard of anyone seeing any other seasons even in original Japanese.
Great upload, thanks for doing the request so quickly. VIP3 is ‘file not found’ as always, and VIP2 quality is not as good as VIP1, which frequently freezes. Hope all the various VIP1 movies will be fixed soon or a different VIP hoster will be used 🙂
