| Reviews |
"Mr. Atsumi’s Tora-san is the man who upholds tradition by living outside of it, who celebrates home by remaining homeless" -- Dave Kehr, The New York Times "The Tora-San series is meant to continue, and AnimEigo's Tora-San: Collector's Set 1 gives it an excellent launch" -- DVD Savant "It is with the 'Tora-San' films that one can identify Yamada honing his craft" -- Coffee, Coffee... "The performance by Kiyoshi Atsumi is fantastic and has been compared to Charlie Chaplin" -- Cinegeek "In a society that largely stresses proper, polite, and understated behavior, Tora was the nail that sticks out" -- Shogun-ki "Best DVD of 2009" -- LardBiscuit "TORA-SAN is sad, funny and downright heartwarming at times and you’ll find yourself missing him immediately after you finish each film" -- Film Fanaddict
