Samurai Gun

Samurai Gun - An anime without a goal

Samurai Gun is an anime adaptation of the original manga with the same name. It began airing on October, 4 and ended on December, 4 of 2004 and it was animated by Studio Egg, best known for anime that people don't care. You don't need to read the full synopsis to know more about this particular anime because, once more, no one cares.

"(...) A group of Samurai has banded together, and, with the development of new weapons and new technology, they have both the will and the hardware to stand up and fight. Ichimatsu is one of these ... fighters. By day, he works incognito at a local tavern, in the evenings he frequents the brothels, and by the dark of night, he doles out some big-time, gun-barrel justice. He is here to help. He is Samurai Gun."

As said, guns were in fact used in this era, so that's true, this isn't an original idea. In one hand, Samurai Gun can be seen as a revenge story about Ichimatsu and his family. In another hand, Ichimatsu doesn't want to kill anyone, except the guy who actually did it. Besides that, people don't need to watch the rest of the episodes because it gets more and more uninteresting and Ichimatsu breaks the golden rule of not killing other people except that particular evil figure.

The art is just decent in the first three episodes but then, it gets kinda bad until the end. The sound process was kinda the only good thing but as the anime progresses, it becomes very repetitive. In fact, there are interesting characters but they aren't explored at his core, making them unexplored. This anime is great for people that don't give a damn about a good plot or good quality animation because it fulfills those person's desires. This is just an anime to add to your "Complete" list as something degradable.

Samurai Gun is just a poor story and my expectations were all shattered.
Basically, a shit anime. It was purely a waste of time.
