El último samurái en pie

This show is a great edition to the genre.

It is Squid Games meets Death Race with anime samurai tropes.

The combat scenes are absolutely fantastic.

The anime vibes are grounded just enough to not feel campy.

I will say that I hope they wrap it up by the end of next season. I feel like the pacing was well done. It would be a shame to spoil it by dragging it out more than it has to be.

Definitely worth the watch for anyone that wants some high octane sword fights.

It's painfully obvious they cut the season in half and I wish such trend would stop. Was it too much to ask for 10 episodes?

I sincerely recommend putting this series on a waiting list until it's complete. The story is too good to be butchered by netflix's schedule, the cut happens just as we were about to head into the climax. Doesn't make much sense and my day is ruined.

One point per life. During the Meiji era, 292 fighters came together at Tenryu-ji Temple in Kyoto after sunset, The challenge was clear: take each other's wooden tags and make it all the way to Tokyo. The winner would get the prize ¥100 billion.

The first five episodes offered enough bloody, ambitious set pieces and character development to keep me generally engaged, with the sixth episode (Action-packed climax) features the final showdowns of the tournament, concluding with an intense battle that takes place during fireworks.

Last Samurai Standing is a visual treat and sure to satisfy genre fans. If you're looking for seriously brutal samurai fight sequences and a tension-filled contest, "Last Samurai Standing" is a must-watch.

The title says it all. "Last Samurai Standing"' plot is generally laid out in its title with some interesting, intriguing twists. The six episode premiere of "Chapter One" effectively lays out the main general plot and introduces the primary characters, along with their motivations effectively.

Fans of FX's 2024 remake of "Shogun" and Takashi Miike's 2010 "13 Assassins" will likely enjoy "Last Samurai Standing". The melodrama in between set action pieces sometimes drops an anchor on momentum, but not so much to derail the story.

Let's hope Netflix generates enough positive interest for Chapter Two and this first season offering abruptly ends -ala iajutsu.

The scenes really bring to mind those 1970s Japanese movies - like Kurosawa's 12 Samurai - while also giving a slight nod to The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. Yet despite these influences, it still feels like an original version of what it is meant to be. The acting is good, the framing is excellent, and the action is engaging.

Its only weaknesses are the lack of depth in some of the characters, and that the story logic is weak in a few places, sacrificed for the sake of making the plot more appealing. Considering its budget and the production team and actors, I think it is even better than Shogun, and it feels like a fully Japanese and very likable work.
