Samurai Deeper Kyo - Volume 1 Episodes 1 to 7 is Released

Based on the manga series by Akimine Kamijyo, Samurai Deeper Kyo is a Japanese anime TV series that's set to be released in the UK on the 13th of July. The DVD, which will include episodes 1-7 of the 26 episode series, follows the story of Kyoshiro and Demon Eyes Kyo among other characters in an epic sword fighting tale set in the 1600s.

The first episode opens with the epic battle scene of Sekigahara, where Kyoshiro and Demon Eyes Kyo, two samurai warriors, are engaged in a duel. This is then interrupted by a falling star hitting the ground and consuming both Kyoshiro and Demon Eyes Kyo.

The plot then moves forward in time (by four years) and a female bounty hunter by the name of Yuya is on the prowl for Demon Eyes Kyo. She discovers Kyoshiro instead, who is now a medicine man with no memory of his previous life as the most deadly warrior.

As Yuya recognises him, she proceeds to take him into custody. However, a fearsome snake monster that has been hunting Kyoshiro attacks them both. The plot then takes a twist and we discover that Kyoshiro has the soul of Demon Eyes Kyo inside him and with a bit of persuasion in battle, the warrior that is Demon Eyes Kyo rages deep within to win the fight and save Yuya.

From that moment on, every time Kyoshiro enters a battle, the fury of Demon Eyes Kyo is awakened inside him. It turns out that Demon Eyes Kyo is now looking to find his earthly body to return his soul to it's rightful place.

With epic sword fighting scenes and high quality animation, Samurai Deeper Kyo is a fantasy story with many twists and turns. The TV series has also been turned into a Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS game which is hugely popular. With the release of this new DVD in the UK, the English audience will now get to see their favourite characters battle it out on their screens whenever they wish.

Future releases are expected, but as of now, dates are unknown. I, like many other anime fans, have been eagerly awaiting this release. Directed by Junji Nishimura (Ranma ½), we can expect an all round good interpretation of the original manga which collected over 38 volumes.

If you're interested in this release, you'll be pleased to hear that there's not long to wait - Samurai Deeper Kyo Volume 1 will be released on DVD by MVM on 13th July 2009 and will be priced at £15.99.
