Here's hoping this series picks it up, cause right not It's just an inferior Yojimbo with talent lacking everywhere.

Ichi is the man, and is hands down the best series of films of all time. With more that 20 sequels the only series to come close would be Godzilla but he can't claim the consistency this series had.

Odd to see Katsu looking so young in the first Zatoichi film, but everything you love about the character is already in place...the gambling, the impish grin, and the lightning fast swordplay.

Great film, and great introduction to the blind gambling swordsman. We get to learn about the blind masseur and what makes him so special, in this film. The characters are great, and the action is fun to watch. Shintaro Katsu would go on to play Zatoichi for a total of 27 films. This definitely worth watching for anyone interested in Japanese cinema.

"Though The Tale of Zatoichi features a few exciting action sequences, this is more of a moody character study than an outright karate flick."
