On August 24, 2010 Animego will issue Shoun Assisson on Blu-ray.
AnimEigo is proud to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the legendary samurai cult classic, Shogun Assassin, by announcing the first ever high-definition version of the film! The most famous samurai film in the Western World is finally coming to North America in the clearest and most pristine version ever seen by man, woman, or ninja.
In 2006, our first official release of Shogun Assassin set the bar for high quality with its crystal-clear DVD picture. This time around, we once again reconstructed the film, this time using uncompressed 1080p 24p source materials.
But that’s not all! For this special edition of samurai slaughter, we’ve compiled some incredible exclusive extras, only available on this disc. For starters, there’s a must-see 10+ minute interview with Samuel L. Jackson about his fondness of Shogun Assassin and other samurai films, shot exclusively for this release in 2009. And to top it all off, we gathered three of the original cast and crew for a brand new, highly-informative, feature-length audio commentary. This new commentary features never-before-heard insider perspectives of the 1980 film’s creation from some of the key players who made it all happen: Producer David Weisman, Illustrator Jim Evans, and Gibran Evans, who provided the epic voice narration of Daigoro!
And the best part of the disc is… the price! We’ve set our suggested retail price at $24.98, so expect great deals on this groundbreaking release.
See the most famous Samurai movie of all time–that the Japanese have still never heard of!
See the movie that you’ve watched a million times, but never really seen–because you’ve never seen it in 1080p!
It’s the one… the only… Shogun Assassin… in High Definition!
Because the best color for blood… is Blu!
The Shogun Assassin 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blu-ray will be available on the AnimEigo website in July and from a store near you August 24, 2010.

Nunca entendí bien como salió bien esta película.
Es una combinación de 2 películas japonesas en 1.
Las películas eran: "Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance" y "Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx". (títulos en inglés obviamente)
Y el resultado final, es un "clásico" y tiene audio en inglés (dubbed) doblado por el director americano, el productor americano y hasta Sandra Bernhard (en su primer papel para el cine, aunque solo sea su voz) !!!.
En UK hay un pack de Eureka con toda la saga de Lone Wolf original en japonés y el "mashup" este en inglés, es algo pendiente en mi colección.
The Complete Lone Wolf & Cub Boxset [DVD] [1972]
Number of discs: 7
DISC 1 - SWORD OF VENGEANCE (1972, Kenji MISUMI) 84 minutes
DISC 2 - BABY CART AT THE RIVER STYX (1972, Kenji MISUMI) 82 minutes
DISC 3 - BABY CART TO HADES (1972, Kenji MISUMI) 89 minutes
DISC 4 - BABY CART IN PERIL (1972, Buichi SAITO) 81 minutes
DISC 5 - BABY CART IN THE LAND OF DEMONS (1973, Kenji MISUMI) 90 minutes
DISC 6 - WHITE HEAVEN IN HELL (1974, Yoshiyuki KURODA) 84 minutes
DISC 7 - SHOGUN ASSASSIN (1980, Robert Houston) 86 minute

La calidad del pack de UK de las 6 películas originales es increíble por lo que se ve en las capturas, no tanto el disco de Shogun Assassin que metieron en el mismo pack como Disco 7.
La última imagen que puse es de "Babycart in the Land of Demons".
Ah, y miren la diferencia de calidad que hay entre "Sword of Vengeance" y "Shogun Assassin":
SWORD OF VENGEANCE
SHOGUN ASSASSIN
Bah, no es tanta, pero aparentemente no viene del mismo master japonés.
Comentario en inglés de DVDBeaver.com:
Esperemos que el Blu-Ray pueda usar algo de los elementos asiáticos, que por lo que muestran los DVDs están en mejor estado.

Comentario en inglés de DVDBeaver.com:
Eureka used excellent Toho restorations for this 7-disc boxset. Unfortunately, we could not compare to the second edition or to Animeigo US releases, but compared to Artsmagic's first release the improvement can be seen easily. Each progressive all-region disc use NTSC masters from Japan, so there is no PAL/NTSC conversion issues. White font subtitles with black borders are easy to read and placed over the image (see examples below). The bonus 7th disc presents a 1980 US re-edit and re-dub of the second film (plus a few scenes from the first) called Shogun Assassin. Most English-language speakers learned about the series from this version and it's been restored as well. Notice that in the second comparison from Shogun Assassin, the damage spot from is missing in the original.
Esperemos que el Blu-Ray pueda usar algo de los elementos asiáticos, que por lo que muestran los DVDs están en mejor estado.
