The long-awaited sequel to Samurai Girls finally heads to Blu-ray and DVD! Expect more action, comedy and hordes of lovely lady samurais, in another outrageous mashup of Japanese history - think Kurosawa with oodles of added fan service!

Director, Kobun (Samurai Girls)
Script, Satoru Nishizono (Naruto, A Certain Magical Index, Digimon Adventure)
Art Director, Junichi Higashi (Samurai Girls, Cowboy Bebop, Blood+, RahXephon, Mobile Fighter G Gundam)
Studio, ARMS (Samurai Girls, Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero, Master of Martial Hearts, Ikki Tousen, Elfen Lied)

Things seemed to be going so well for Muneakira Yagyu. On top of dealing with Jubei, the immortal samurai warrior who fell out of the sky and into his arms and lips, he used his ability to awaken the latent power of a female samurai with a kiss to successfully juggle a handful of very powerful, very female master samurai, and led them all to victory against the minion of a great evil. So was it too much to ask for a little break in the routine of saving Japan? Apparently it was, as another great evil has appeared in the land, this one even stronger than the last. However, that’s the least of Muneakira’s problems, because with all the women he’s kissed in order to awaken their latent samurai powers, the inevitable has finally happened. Someone’s taking the long walk down the aisle with a samurai girl! It’s going to be a really old fashioned wedding and any resistance by the groom will be totally feudal in Samurai Bride!

We loved the original Samurai Girls for its lovely ladies, its beautiful, woodcut-style retro-visuals, its outrageous reworkings of Japanese history, and its crazy, sexy humour. Samurai Bride delivers more of all that, piling on all the scenes we wanted to see but never dared to ask for – like the girls opening their own Maid Café! Like its predecessor, Samurai Bride is made by the ARMS studio, a notorious specialist in all things fanservice, which also brought us the outrageous Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero and Master of Martial Hearts.

‘A nice comedic series with plenty of fan-service and a decent dose of action to keep the story flowing.’ – Capsule Computers

‘We get a very fun show that takes the characters, nudges them along with a few tweaks and builds on what came before… great to be a part of this world again.’ – fandompost
