"He’s part James Dean and part Clint Eastwood, with a big dose of Steve McQueen thrown in for good measure. And he lets his killer samurai sword do the talking." -- Boston Event Guide "This series just keeps on getting better – action, with character development, and drama. Nemuri is one of my favorite samurai." -- AnimeRadius "As is the case for AnimEigo's DVDs, there are extremely readable, colored subtitles, and additional notes that provide more historical context for each film." -- Coffee, Coffee "...this collection of films features [Ichikawa Raizo] at his best" -- Shocking Images
