The transfers are near flawless with well written and easy to read subtitles. The DVDs have English language menus with options to choose each episode. The English subs are the default when you play the DVD.

I have the last episode from Merlin but I was very disappointed with how the series ended, I also did on post of it somewhere on here you just have to search for it. The quality was near perfect as well as his Sub-T's.

Amazon is probably your best bet and still has all of Season 1, with Volume 1 at $2.98 new! Season 1 consists of the following sets:

Volume 1:

http://www.amazon.com/Zatoichi-Blind-Swordsman-Vol-1/dp/B000ASATM6/ref=sr_1_12?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1303837309&sr=1-12

Volume 2:

http://www.amazon.com/Zatoichi-Blind-Swordsman-Vol-2/dp/B000BPK2HK/ref=pd_bxgy_d_text_b

Volume 3:

http://www.amazon.com/Zatoichi-Blind-Swordsman-Vol-3/dp/B000CEV3S2/ref=pd_bxgy_d_text_c

Collection 2:

http://www.amazon.com/Zatoichi-Collection-II-Shintaro-Katsu/dp/B0017MO0U6/ref=pd_cp_d_3

There is a Collection 1, but the total minuets for that set do not add up to the total minuets for Vols 1-3. So, if you buy the above sets, you will have ALL of Season 1.

Great news indeed! Thanks for sharing this info WuxiaFan. :bigsmile: I was so bummed when Tokyo Shock stopped releasing the Zatoichi TV series, so when SamuraiDVD.com put out season 2 it was a big relief.

For those that haven't bought from SamuraiDVD.com before, Merlin does a fantastic job (and is a cool dude) and has never let me down. :nerd:
