Ok, I am not going to lie, I really didn't care for the series. The storyline was kinda of dry, the use of Robot Samurai pretty much killed a lot of my interest, they kill one of the awesomest characters around episode 12-16(I don't know when exactly) and then they play his death of as nothing special. There is also the fact that they dragged the series on. Look at the fact that the original conflict was resolved about a little after midway through the series. They continue to drag the story on by attempting to resolve an issue that only came up in one episode and really lacked the importance that it received. I have to say the whole, 7 samurai taking out an entire army just because they have the skills and no other bandits have any really turned me away more. All in all I did like some of the characters, even though they lacked originality, and I would have to say that the original storyline is pretty good but the continuation of the series was unnecessary after episode 16ish. I give it a 5 out of 10.
