Samurai 7, the 26-episode sci-fi series from Studio Gonzo, is now streaming with English dub and subtitles on Crunchyroll and Hulu. The series reimagines Akira Kurosawa's classic film Seven Samurai in a steampunk future where mechanized bandits terrorize farming villages.
Set on a post-war planet, the story follows a group of farmers who hire wandering samurai to protect them from the fearsome Nobuseri. The anime, which premiered in Summer 2004, adapts a manga of the same name and holds a 7.44 rating on MyAnimeList from over 65,000 voters.
With the entire series available, viewers can experience Gonzo's blend of traditional samurai action and mecha elements. The animation studio, known for its work on Hellsing and Vandread, delivers a distinct visual style that complements the steampunk setting and swordplay.
