Based on Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa`s legendary martial-arts epic SEVEN SAMURAI, the action-packed anime series SAMURAI 7 offers an anachronistic spin on the film`s famous parable of vigilante justice. This time around, the story takes place in a futuristic feudal society ravaged by years of brutal warfare, where the lawless bandits terrorizing the rural countryside are a terrifying mutant amalgam of man and machine. One particularly poverty-stricken village decides to battle the mechanical menace by hiring a band of nomadic samurai for protection, resulting in a ragtag assemblage of masterful swordsmen with their fair share of personality quirks. Atmospheric and stylish, SAMURAI 7 does Kurosawa justice with topnotch storytelling and gorgeous animation rendered in a muted palette that evokes the source material`s black-and-white cinematography yet remains completely vibrant and visionary. This volume continues the anime series with four more episodes.

Though chiefly known stateside as a game for Sony's PlayStation 2, Orphen began as a series of very popular fantasy novels that were later made into an anime in their native Japan. The series follows Orphen, a young sorcerer trained at the elite magic school Fanged Tower. After shunning his teachers and leaving the school, Orphen retreats to a small town to tutor a young boy and to be close to a nearby mansion that houses a mysterious sword. While trying to procure the sword from the mansion's owner, Orphen finds himself confronted by the dragon Bloody August, whom he calls Azalie. Though Orphen apparently wants to save this beast, the leaders from the Fanged Tower want nothing more than to destroy it, sending Orphen on a mission to get to the dragon first. In this fifth volume of episodes, Orphen continues his search for the dragon Azalie, who has arrived at the mysterious Summit of Moonlight with the nefarious magician Flameheart. Determined to change Azalie back into human form, Orphen prepares for the perils of this confrontation by setting out to find the legendary magician Rox Roe, the only one who can transform her.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull FrameAudio: Stereo - English Stereo - JapaneseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
