Shigurui: Death Frenzy - Complete Series Box Set Blu-ray

[danish211]

this is what is the best of samurai anime none of that kenshin pacifistic reverse blade crap. its like the 90 are back with this anime.

[digioverlord]

no fense but by reading the comment section of this vid i realise that there are many twats who stero type aime as nothing more than big boobed big eyed chicks with huge wepons...yeah i love to see mature adult anime like this but there are loads of other stuff like this...just look at anime from the 90s

[Neathat68]

I Love Shigurui Death Frenzy! It's Fucking Awsome!

[GandiBrandi]

BONER ALERT!!

[Soulfide]

this anime is amazing man... the story and everything!! most of the action comes later on but its a masterpiece really is!!! i wished it went further...

[MrJMEproductions]

how does fujuki lose his arm cos it isnt in the complete series :(

[SantoryuWazamono]

@MrJMEproductions its in the manga

[badjohnnyisbad]

this anime was fucking awesome. i highly recommend finishing the manga where the anime leaves off. you won't be disappointed.

[pippo17173]

Dang so bloody:D

[SantoryuWazamono]

do they tell you how Fujiki loses his arm and how Irako gets a hole in his foot?

[AJEdaAssassin31491]

@SantoryuWazamono Read the manga after chapter 32. There you will find your answers.

[4781d36]

so did they ever come out with something afterwards, or was that how the series was supposed to end?

[89mashman]

I bought this anime for 20 bucks and the whole series was boring as hell. not taking anything away from it the storyline was interesting and the animation was great. the last 3 episodes where is the most pleasing to me I guess because it has the most fighting im the whole anime. if I knew how this was going to play out I wouldn't have got it but I'm stuck with it. Ill give it a 6.5 the only thing lacking in this anime to me is fighting. the gore and thestoryline make up for all of that.

[manhunteress]

Fucking amazing or what,great storyline,the sounds give chills down my spine,love it!!!!!!

[chocholatefrenchpudd]

not ganna lie, there was alot of fucked up and wierd things in it but it was an awesome anime. i started reading the manga and iam completely blown away by it.

[ustwats]

@chocholatefrenchpudd Tell me... will there be release of series two and between the two who will survive?

[chocholatefrenchpudd]

@ustwats there probobly wont be another series because the original series was made a coupkle years ago. if you want to see want happens just try to find the manga online.

[ustwats]

@chocholatefrenchpudd Thanks for the info!

[ScotIncognito]

i watched this twice and thought it was one of the best things ive ever seen. Dont generally like the whole big eyed spiked haired bollocks dubbed over with a bad chemical romance as a sword fight where the swords are twice as big as the people takes place pish. Any one know of something that compares to this or is it an rare jewel?

[FilMarck]

I've seen a couple of different releases of this anime on Blu-ray by FUNimation, they're releasing a new set now but what differs?

Does it have a slipcover and use the original Japanese text?

I don't know, I'm asking before making my final decision on which one to get.

Btw, great series, watched it in SD but HD's definitely the way!

[goodusername]

I reallly want to see this show, but I have just been reading about how it abruptly ends. Should I read the manga first to understand the whole story? (I have never actually read manga)... Or should I just watch this show and read the manga series while I wait for an ending to the show, if they are making it, and if I even like it.

an opinion from anyone who has read and watched it?

[chocholatefrenchpudd]

@goodusername anime only covers like a 16th of the manga

[Tomato9209]

im in the dark about shigurui as ive only watched the anime (5 TIMES OVER !! ITS BRILLIANT) .. but where the manga is concerned i havent read none of it, i really do hope they adapt the rest of the manga into anime thow, now that its finished does anyone know if theyre considering to carry it on in anime ???

[KzM009]

the manga is over.....tragic ending......sad 

[ViViD4i]

The ending made little sense to me...could someone bring it to light?

[roningarrison]

@ViViD4i

It continues on in the manga, I hope they finish it off as the anime adaption was amazing. The manga was finished just recently, you'll have to go through it to find out the outcome. It's worth your time.

[ViViD4i]

@roningarrison thanks a bunch

[curtisb3000]

This is a very good anime series, the drama is very engaging.

[zhadow7]

fuck I love this anime

best samurai one ive seen in years

disappointed in the cliffhanger though because i dont read the manga. i want fujiki to utterly torture irako!

[TheDefiant12]

whats the name of the song playing in the background?

[acz0190]

even tho this anime is great the manga is way more epic.only thing i didnt like about this was watching the first couple of episodes where it was confusing to work out who's who between the two deciples in certain scenes and timelines.i just had to stop this and read the whole manga first.most of yall will love this because of its dark contrast and bloody violence.if this story was remade following the whole manga story the results will be so fuken epic and claim the ninja scroll of today.

[Uberkeenan]

if its anything close to afro samurai ill watch it

[bahamn15]

@Uberkeenan are kidding me? this one beats afro samurai by a trillion miles.

[Uberkeenan]

@bahamn15 shut the fuck up fagot i was thining about watching this but just for that gay shit i wont got damn bitch

[bahamn15]

@Uberkeenan you must have dementia

[lordxheroth]

@Uberkeenan its pretty close but more violent and traditional (no hiphop)

[Uberkeenan]

@lordxheroth ah ok i might watch it

[owen0]

THis became one of my favs straight away. THe only thing that bugs me is when it is presented and described as violence for the sake of violence when there is so much more to it.

[DjKillahFrost]

This is the illest shit out my nigga if you aint on this you don't know whats up. SLING! SLICE! yall see the ep where that nigga got his whole dome peice sliced ILMAO this 5 stars

[otakutheseries]

I feel like I need to see this, if only to see how much literal spine-crushing I could stand.

[lordxheroth]

although i just seen disc one i have to say that this was one, no THE most disgusting animes ive seen!!! But i kinda enjoyed it and want more.

[gerzaa9]

Oh....this anime scared me.

Though I was pleased that someone finally portrayed Samuari for what they really are- and not some spikey haired kid swinging a sword around without real technique in replace of magical powers...

[AreYouScaredNow]

finally, some real anime, not some Y-7 bullshit that gets hyped up. I wish more animes catered to a mature audience.

[thrashmetalfiend]

I finished watching Shigurui last night and while the ending was a little disappointing, I was really pleased with this one because it had a combination of superb visuals and interesting characters. The violence in this one makes Ninja Scroll look like Sesame Street, (I also like NS).

[EmoraChan13]

@thrashmetalfiend The ending is supposed to be like that. This anime is mainly for people who read or have read the manga.

[InuTsukiko]

Interesting trailer, and I'll probably check out the anime but ... why is there a didgeeridoo playing in the background for the music?

[crono7772]

when will they finally finisjh this series they left a big gap

[killahfam69]

Anyone see the movie shinobi which is basilsk in live action form it is pretty good and this anime looks really good I will take a good story and gore anytime

[obadboystanley]

for who ever bashes on this show they dont know what they are talking about. this show is great....and smart you got to pay attention to whats going on

if not youll get lost..

[faketohma]

@obadboystanley yea you do have to focus on this one. I finished disc 1 today...its slow drawn out..but its all about the tone of the show..which is why they do it the way its done.

[ayiska57]

dont waist your time on this shit if want some good samurai animes go see basilisk, rurouni kenshin, afro samurai, samurai champloo and for some good samurai anime movies go see ninja scroll or sword of the stranger. the story in this anime is boring so are the characters and theres no ending

[salemshady]

@ayiska57

You dimwit. This anime requires perseverence throughout the series and it rewards you for it. The second i saw you type BASILISK, i knew you were an idiot! with no offence to basilisk offcourse.

[faketohma]

@ayiska57 dearie...alot of anime don't "end"..they seem like they do...but its what I call an empty ending

[ayiska57]

wats better this or basilisk

[Endtroducing85]

This show is so damn perfect. Serious and stunning visuals. Could there be an alternative? (If so, please reply lol).

[salemshady]

@Endtroducing85

Try Kurozuka! The director of this anime also directed Death note. Maybe not as good as shigurui but good enough

[BigWyatt01]

Worst advertisement ever!

[luvthick]

Shigurui is a master piece for a mature audience, I love that there is no modern music, kids with swords and the normal nonsense you see in anime. It was well grounded and I look forward to seeing Fujiki kill Irako if there is a conclusion.

[inferno0020]

@luvthick

Good anime for anyone who is interested in Japanese culture

[mistyken]

@luvthick i m just guessing

i think in the end they will both perish together...although i personally would want to see irako gets his ass kicked...

[steve5123456789]

@luvthick Is it in english?

[godai631]

@steve5123456789 ...i watched on netflix and its in english....i wish they have second season soon!!

[iskkarate]

@luvthick nah irako kills fujiki

[celestialki]

a wider audience

[celestialki]

I thought this anime was very good it trampled over many boundaries most modern anime series avoid. Trying to stay in a safe zone that would resonate with the wider audience

[IamZanders]

For those of you that weren't satisfied with the end, the anime was just based on part of the manga, which is still going.

[Aluenvey]

I guess I'll have to buy the dvd, to see the Geisha beheading.

[hess1912]

you right it dosen't have a ending. what happen to fujiki?

[hess1912]

you got that damn right. this cartoon dosen't have a ending? what happen to fujiki his fine butt?

[RHart51680]

He gets his arm cut off in a duel with Siegen.

[HellishKnight]

This series was pure shit. Don't waste your time.

[RRFCaptain]

Go watch some Chobits.

[Jerkface55]

i disagree but if you have a better anime in mind that would be wonderful

[HellishKnight]

It is terrible. Only a weaboo or manga nut would say this anime is great. It doesn't even have an ending.

You wanted another recommendation? Try Death Note or Basilisk. Either is 1000x better.

[The2ndKrezzz3]

hell no. i hate manga, and i love this. when endings happen like this, you can hope for a second series. there has been many worse endings anyway. have you seen desert punk? this anime is straight

[HellishKnight]

This anime sucks, and no dude, there isn't going to be a second part.

There are so many animes out there better than this. Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D, Zone of the Enders - Dolores I, Death note, Basilisk, AVATAR - The Last Airbender, Howel's Moving Castle, Spriggan, Elfen Leid, etc...

This series was pure crap.

[HellishKnight]

*corrections: Howl's Moving Castle and Elfen Lied.

God, I fucking hate YouTube's posting system. >_>

[thrashmetalfiend]

The fact that you mentioned Elfen Lied as a "better anime" immediately invalidates your opinion. You bitch about Shiguriui not having an ending yet praise EL? What a fuckin' hypocrite.

[HellishKnight]

@thrashmetalfiend, The fact that you think you can run around "just invalidating" people makes you invalid, you fucking arrogant douche.

[thrashmetalfiend]

@HellishKnight The fact that you replied to a YouTube comment a year after I posted it makes you a pathetic excuse of a lifeform. You also trolled so many people on this video that you invalidated your own existense.

[HellishKnight]

@thrashmetalfiend, Hypocrisy much? The fact that you commented to comment that's a year old invalidates you as a human, it didn't even take you 10 minutes to respond either. Do you just sit on youtube all day, loser?

makes you a hypocrite and an even bigger douche bag than before. This anime is stupid and just because someone doesn't agree doesn't mean I can't say it. This is the most boring anime I've ever seen.

[thrashmetalfiend]

@HellishKnight I got an email notification of you replying, faggot. So no, I don't sit on YouTube all day, cockgobbler. I honestly don't care that you don't like Shigurui, but the fact that you recommended Elfen Lied over it automatically makes you a shitbag because that anime is an abomination on every level, whether it be the misplaced naked Lolita girls with cat ears killing people, tonal inconsistency, terrible plotting, and inconclusive ending. I'm done. You lose, faggot.

[HellishKnight]

@thrashmetalfiend You got an "email notification" for THIS video? What a fucking loser and a fucking pile of steaming worthless dog shit you are. I don't give a shit if you hate an anime I like better. Why should I care what some homophobe like you says. Just the fact that you care enough to still take notifications to defend this crap speaks volumes about how fuck-tarded you are. You should really stick to what you do best, blowing old shriveled up 80 year olds in a nursing home and pig vomit.

[Broyale26]

@thrashmetalfiend

I agree with you, 200 %.

The pussification of anime has GOT to stop.

[The2ndKrezzz3]

how do u kno there wont be a 2nd part? i dont like the ending at all, but i hold a optimstic view on it.and yea, there are better animes than this but basilisk is not one of them. all that is a ninja version of romeo and juliet. also dont compare different anime genres to another. if ur going 2 compare a samurai anime, compare it to another samurai anime.

i also kno u thumb my comment down.

[HellishKnight]

I don't "know", but I very much doubt there will be a sequel at this point. Uh, and Basilisk, which was only one example, was far , far better. It had a complete, albeit tragic ending compared to Death Frenzy whose beginning took place after the end of the series, and to which there was no ending. It moved slower than watching white paint dry and the flow of the story was terrible. They didn't even have a complete fight-scene until the end of the first DVD disc. There are only two discs.

[RHart51680]

Dude quit bitching and stay with Naruto, and Bleach.

[Death360]

@HellishKnight don't ever talk about death note that show is trendy bullshit

[crazydude606]

I've actually reading book 6 at work right now. Haha.

[crazydude606]

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about him killing her hubby. I have all the currently published books and I'm translating them for the hell of it, but my kanji dict. Isn't quite up to snuff.

[RHart51680]

Well you're main problem is that alot of stuff that Yamaguchi uses in the manga is old fashioned stuff that is'nt even used in Japan now. Alot readers in Japan don't recognize some of the stuff. It must not matter though because it is 29 in the top 50 mangas being read over there.

[crazydude606]

Still though, I'd like to know if that sword factors in at all later in the series. They made a pretty big deal about it.

[RHart51680]

So far what I've read in the Manga the only major part about the sword was how it was used to fool Iku into beleiving she was cursed, by killing her two husbands so Kogan could make her his other than that. Nope we don't hear anymore else about the sword.

[RHart51680]

Oh, and when Mie went crazy and anorexic and stole it, almost forgot that part other then that no, I don't even think the sword is a part of the story anymore.

[n1bleachfreak]

Sword of the Stranger was a better anime than this

[dapadawan]

the other day every episode was up for viewing for free i shouldve known this would happen, shouldve watched them all they really oughtta stick to a website

wouldve been less dissapointing

[crazydude606]

Does anyone else think Kogan was somehow possessed by the Nanachou Nenbutsu or the monk that was cut down by it?

[RHart51680]

No, I just think Kogan was one crazy Mo Fo. This anime/manga is mainly mundane. Besides the Nanacho Nenbutsu being cursed.

[diggadigg]

if someone would please be honest...what would be better..the dvd's or is blue ray that much better looking and sounding...and is it really worth the extra 20 bucks or whatever??..plz reply thank you!!

[GeneralArrow]

Blue Ray is amazing, plus blue ray takes up a little less space on your shelf. Just go to an electronics store and see the difference for your self. Blu-Ray is great if you have the hardware for it.

[RHart51680]

Blue Ray's always going to look better, but this show is amazing reguardless of format. It just depends on how much you're willing to spend.

[RRFCaptain]

The Blu-Rays are only like 10 bucks more expensive anyway. So worth it.

[narutodudecol]

i don't see d.gray man dubbed

[schylerverna]

are you freakin dubbing the second season of when they cry?!? do you know how many people love that anime?!

[tc781]

this is reminding me of Afro samurai. But is more darker and creepier.

[RHart51680]

It's nothing like Afro Samurai.

[kwanlifu]

Disturbing anime because we never know who is the real bad guy. We can't tell Fujiki is a better man than Iruko and vice versa. They have their reason and both do bad things. The ultimate bastard is Kogan he's the scariest bad guy in the anime history.

[RHart51680]

I don't think anyone's really a villain in this anime'. Everyone is actually a victim, I guess if I absolutely positively had to choose though, I would go with Seigan Irrako. He was the one that thought he was just gonna stroll into town, fuck the masters concubine, and usurp his swordsmanship for all it was worth. He pretty much manipulated the whole thing. (sorry for the spoilers anyone.)

[RRFCaptain]

You are bang on with this.

[RHart51680]

Yeah, if you've read the manga you'll really get pissed off at how Seigen cheats in their duel and cuts off Fujiki's arm.

[RRFCaptain]

Seigen didn't really cheat, he just wore those chains, which were not against the rules. Fujiki would have had him if it wasn't for that.

Of course, Seigen later paid the price for winning the duel by maiming his own foot.

[RHart51680]

I think he did. He loaded his kimono, Iku worked the field the fild the day before so he could use that to his advantage, sure he maimed his own foot, but he killed Ushimata.

[RRFCaptain]

My earlier reply didn't take apparently...

Seigen took steps to tip odds in his favour; Fujiki didn't and paid for it. How is that cheating?

Seigen isn't shit because even though he's part of Toudouza now and has all the status, he still dwells on the fact that Fujiki is alive.

[RHart51680]

No, it's not that it did'nt take, I'm not arguing with you. He might not have broken any rules, but it was supposed to be an honorable one on one duel were no one had an advantantage at all Seigen being nlind don't matter any more he could probably whoop the ass of almost anyone that can see. All I meant was what he did was a little underhanded still.

[RHart51680]

And yeah, he even got a title and Toudouza so why did he want revenge for something he was punished for that he should'nt have did in the first place? It just shows you really what kind of a petty man he really is. Not to mention I could understand wanting to kill Fujiki, and the others but he killed Susunoske too, who did'nt even know what had happened to him.

[RRFCaptain]

I mean YT didn't take the comment, not you didn't take it. There was maintenance so a previous comment I wrote was lost in cyberspace.

[RHart51680]

Oh okay, but we are on the same page about Seigen being a douche bag. I think that's what I like about this series, is how it's such one big shade of grey. that people can argue all day about who's the worsed. Someone else here even called Kogan a villain, he's batshit crazy, and a little ruthles but a still would'nt have considered Kogan a villain either.

[RRFCaptain]

Shigurui is very pessimistic in it's portrayal of human beings... even Fujiki who we are led to believe is the "hero" of the show has his moments of villainy. I mean, out of all the characters, how many of them do no wrong? Mie? Ushimata?

I would put Kogan on the villainous side of things but he's not like Seigen, who must die.

[RRFCaptain]

Oh wait, Ushimata had his moments too. Bad example.

[RHart51680]

Oh yeah, defianately, the dude ate a torn off nipple, that was sick.

[RHart51680]

Oh yeah, definately agree. But imo it is the most realistic samurai anime I've ever seen as far as morals and things like that. If you've ever read the Hagukure, it'll remind you of this anime.

[RRFCaptain]

The title "Shigurui" is actually derived straight from passages in the Hagakure. (I say passages, plural, because there are several that apply.) Also in Chapter Zero of the manga they directly quote it.

[RHart51680]

Yeah, I found that I got my own copy. Tsunemote also made the two general points of this Anime/manga in the book wich are: The way to greatness is not the sane path. And the way of the Samurai is found in death. So be desperate and insane and you can stand against anyone.

[RHart51680]

As far as Mie goes no she might be a victim for now, but she becomes totally obsessed with vengence later on. She keeps Kogans' severed face for christs' sake.

[RHart51680]

Also another thing is if Seigen would'nt have met Kengyou and became his lap dog he would'nt be shit now.

[inferno0020]

Is Kengyou the head of Japanese blind syndicate?

[RHart51680]

Yes

[inferno0020]

I am a fan of Shigurui too but I personally prefer Irako than Fujiki

Since Irako can still kill people, probably he will just be a yojimbo (bodyguard) instead of serving Kengyou. He will not starve to death

[inpatwetrust]

This shit is fucking great. It's so addicting, I can't wait till the next season.

[bleachedout000]

Your comment just cheered me up man. I thought it had ended with 12 and i was so fucking bummed out. I am so addicted to this show.

so do you know when the next season is coming out?

[inpatwetrust]

If they decide to make a second season, which they should because it's been successful, it'll been like two years from now. They manga which it's based off of is still in process.

[historylover82]

the ending is what make me so mad i can't believe that how it end so i assume red lips guy kill the main character without show it cause i really want (forgot names) good guy kill that asshole. it this is true there will be other season then i looking forward next one

[krezzz3]

SPOILER-i kno. the battle between fujiki (good guy) and iraku (lipstick bad guy) was built up so big, then they dont even show the fight! maybe well get a movie out of it or at least a second series

[RHart51680]

I hope the sequal, will be the entire tournament though not just Seigan, and Fujikis' fight. If you read the tournament results, wich turned out pretty gruesome, I just hope the whole thing is about the series. But until then I hope they translate the book this was actually based on and release it here, kinda like the Koga Ninja Scrolls book.

[krezzz3]

i want to see limbs, blood, gore, and bodies stacked high. i wont have it anyother way! god have mercy on there souls if they get it wrong! LOL

[RHart51680]

Well if the next series is on the Tournament

(22 Swordsman in 11 Matches 8 simultaneous kills, 6 shot to death 2 out of the 6 that survived were seriously injured.) Yeah I think you'd be getting what you're asking for.

[RHart51680]

Btw, I think Fujiki vs Seigan is one those simultaneous kill matches.

[GrandPopPoplock]

Looks disturbingly epic.

[slop101]

The artwork looks nice, but the animation looks really limited, even for an anime - it looks more like one of those "motion comics" rather than animation.

[historylover82]

people this sh** suck big time

[leana9101]

i'm really excited 4 this 1

[LeeroyFan101]

Ohhhh this has a lot of potential.

[TRIGUN1111111]

I like it

[thebeautywithin678]

I haven't seen this one before, but it looks interesting.

[Dahalum]

OH, F**K YEAH. This anime is great and it's going to be even better on blu-ray. *excited*
