Reviews	"I LOVE THIS MOVIE!" -- Harry Knowles, Ain't It Cool News "This is one of the best Blu Ray releases of 2010 and a must-have for exploitation and samurai cinema fans" -- Film Fanaddict "A one-of-a-kind experience and a legendary cult film" -- San Francisco Chronicle "4 out of 5 interlocking NYs" -- HHWLOD "...an exceptional release, featuring an excellent high-def transfer that blows away all previous official and bootleg versions" -- DVD Talk "Holy Mother of Poo! Animeigo has entered the world of HD with a bang" -- Euro Cult AV "...this is certainly the best that Shogun Assassin has ever looked on home video..." -- AV Manics "A great effort from AnimEigo on their first Blu-ray release" -- HighDefDiscNews "Really, how can you go wrong with a movie like this?" -- BlogCritic "This gory samurai mash-up maintains its cult status for one reason: it is completely entertaining" -- Twitch Film "...a great interview with Samuel L. Jackson" -- Asia Shock "The film’s ultra-violent fight scenes saw the film banned for home video in the UK until 2001 and clearly inspired the excesses of Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” films" -- In This Week "If you love this stuff you must see the entire Lone Wolf & Cub series!" -- animeradius "[contains] a brand new commentary track with Producer David Weisman, Graphic Designer Jim Evans, and Gibran Evans who actually did the voice for Daigoro" -- Bloodtype Online "...the status of the original movies as well as the original comic book series in the United States owes a debt to the success of Shogun Assassin." -- Bleeding Tree "Those hungry for more of Kenji Misumi’s iconic imagery to arrive on Blu-ray will likely find this will keep the wolf from the door..." -- AV Forums "The Sword of Vengeance films are still highly potent exercises in outrageous fantasy swordplay" -- DVD Savant "Animeigo's Blu-Ray edition of 'Shogun Assassin' feels like an oasis of undeniably fulfilling cinematic junk-food" -- Associated Content "...I am particularly fond of the chemistry between Ogami and his son as well as the legendary bloody, fight sequences" -- DVD Corner "...the Blu-ray release is definitely set to become the ultimate must own edition of the film" -- New Movie Source "So, pop the disc in, sit back, and let the bloodbath begin…all in glorious High Definition" -- Reel Reviews "AnimEigo's first-ever Blu-ray release is a masterpiece in restorative preservation" -- PopZara "I thought the DVD from the box set looked nice, but this Blu-Ray is a real upgrade in picture and sound" -- GutMunchers "...the excellent transfer along with the new commentaries make this a welcome addition to any chanbara film's collection" -- Shogun-ki "Shogun Assassin should be required viewing for fourteen year old that wants to learn about cinema" -- Chud.com "Really, how can you go wrong with a movie like this?" -- Blogcritics "I highly recommend this film to all martial arts and swordsmen fans... 9/10" -- Project:Blu "AnimEigo’s Shogun Assassin 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray, comes highly recommended, and is pure bliss for fans of this one-of-a-kind Asian cult film classic." -- Cinema Head Cheese "And now for the transfer, it…is…gorgeous!" -- About Heroes
