Member LeRolls Posted September 1, 2009 Member Share Posted September 1, 2009 I just recently bought Lone Wolf and Cub TV Collection 1 but still haven't taken it out of the plastic. Anyone seen some episodes? I'm wondering how it stacks up compared to the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted September 2, 2009 Member Share Posted September 2, 2009 This tv show KICKS ASS. Actually, the movies are a bit over the top for my taste, and the tv show tones it down just enough for me. Great stories, acting, action, music, camera work---I love this show.

Member daisho2004 Posted September 30, 2009 Member Share Posted September 30, 2009 jrcma: This series is hands down totally awesome! It just fills in a lot of the gaps that the movies couldn't. At times the action scenes were OK to totally Awesome. I had gotten the entire series off a trade a while back but my copies were fair to poor. But this company that is releasing them are never gonna finish the entire 3 seasons I bet you anything. I was hoping they would but you can see that there not gonna do it. And that is a shame because I'm dying to get a remastered edition of this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member instant noodles Posted October 23, 2009 Member Share Posted October 23, 2009 I watched 4 episodes and while it`s enjoyable I was not extremely impressed.Movies capture atmosphere of excellent comic books better.Violence was mild,of course as made for TV. However if they release whole serie on box sets I 100% certainly pick it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted November 14, 2009 Member Share Posted November 14, 2009 Like I said don't get to hooked on it because there not going to make any more of this series. This company really screwed us here! Hopefully AnimEigo might try to get the rights back and fix it once and for all. And everyone should email them and ask them for it! But for the record this series was totally Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted November 17, 2009 Member Share Posted November 17, 2009 There won't be anymore of this series for the time being. TS is trying to figure out how to make these releases profitable. I guess they are feeling the pinch of the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted May 20, 2010 Member Share Posted May 20, 2010 Media Blasters is releasing Lone Wolf and Cub TV series Collection 2 on June 22, 2010: http://www.media-blasters.com/main.html This is a lower priced collection of (12?) episodes they previously released on separate discs as Volumes 4, 5 and 6. I'm very psyched for this. I love this show, but I held off buying those separate releases because of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted May 25, 2010 Member Share Posted May 25, 2010 Its still a waste because I don't think there ever going to complete this entire series that last 3 seasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted May 28, 2010 Member Share Posted May 28, 2010 zfdrew50: You need to read my review of this series in the Japanese section at the top of the page in the section Samurai Movies & there sequels.

Member chanbara Posted June 7, 2010 Member Share Posted June 7, 2010 Does anyone know if anybody's ever compiled a full list of which Manga stories each Episode is based on? I'm wondering if all 142 Manga stories were covered in the 79 episodes or if some were missed? I know someone did this for the first 9 episodes at least, 'cause a friend said he found it on a website (though he can't remember which one), but does a complete list exist somewhere? Episode 1 = SON FOR HIRE, SWORD FOR HIRE Episode 2 (*banned ep.) = PERFORMER Episode 2 = WINGS TO THE BIRDS, FANGS TO THE BEAST + EXECUTIONER'S HILL Episode 3 = ONE STONE BRIDGE Episode 4 = THE ASSASSIN'S ROAD + THE WHITE PATH BETWEEN THE RIVERS + TIDINGS OF THE GEESE Episode 5 = TRAGIC O-SUE Episode 6 = THE VIRGIN AND THE WHORE Episode 7 = THE GUNS OF SAKAI Episode 8 = SOLDIER IS THE CASTLE Episode 9 = TRAIL MARKERS + INFINITE PATH ...

Member chanbara Posted June 7, 2010 Member Share Posted June 7, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lone_Wolf_and_Cub_episodes TV Series Episode Titles... That's not what I meant. I know what the episode titles are (both in Japanese and the various English ones). What I'm looking for is a list that tells me which Manga story is covered in each episode. Some episodes cover just 1 story, but some cover multiple stories as shown in my partial list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted June 8, 2010 Member Share Posted June 8, 2010 chanbara: I believe that the TV series did stick to the manga comics. I have all the comic books to this series and I have the entire 3 seasons of the TV series which is about 30+hrs. and I did check out a few of the comics to see if they were following the storyline and for the most part they were. And I don't think there is a list that exactly tells you which episode is from the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chanbara Posted June 8, 2010 Member Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yep, there's no doubt that the source material for every episode is the manga. I was hoping since someone did up the Manga <=> TV episode list for the first 9 episodes that a full list existed somewhere, but it doesn't look like it. Oh well, I guess I'll have to try and tackle it myself. I'm midway through watching season 2. Time to take notes and re-read the manga again.

Member daisho2004 Posted January 28, 2011 Member Share Posted January 28, 2011 I wanted to just back track and find out how far Tokyo Shock went with this TV series, does anyone know if the box set listed is the complete 1st. season? Even though they haven't finished this series if they did complete the entire 1st. season then I'm going to pick it up. 2nd. Did anyone hear if this series was being picked up by any other distributors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member daisho2004 Posted January 29, 2011 Member Share Posted January 29, 2011 chanbara: Thanks Bro, that's what I wanted to know, I didn't realize it was (2) Box Sets containing the entire 1st. season. I wanted to know if it was all on (1) Box set. So know I'm going to pick these (2) Box sets up. BTW does anyone have a way to contact Tokyo Shock/Media Blasters there isn't an email or phone number to contact them that I could find on there site, I wanted to contact them in regards to the rest of this series.
