More stuff for my want collection:
Before Daredevil there was a much more popular and charismatic blind hero, the personable but deadly sword-wielding outlaw masseur Zatoichi! As played by the amazing Shintaro Katsu, Ichi darted his lightning cane sword across 26 feature films and a 100 episode TV series. April marks the 41st anniversary of the first Zatoichi film, and aside from the new DVDs listed below, here?s another way to celebrate: the Independent Film Channel (IFC) has been featuring films from the Zatoseries for over a year on their Samurai Saturdays program, and they?ll be showing them again starting May 3, every Saturday, culminating in a Zatomarathon of the first 7 films on June 21. In addition, you can enter a sweepstakes at IFCTV.com to win DVD Zatobundles! Home Vision slices into the fun with three more volumes of their Zatoichi DVD series, each of which features newly translated English subtitles, sharp new digital transfers (16×9 enhanced), original theatrical trailers and reproductions of the original theatrical posters.
Never seen them before but I want them all the same.
