"Chanbara Beauty" is worth 1 star, as it is one of the most idiotic movies ever made. "Dororo" is worth 0 stars, as I couldn't even get through 20 minutes of it.

I give "Chanbara Beauty" 2 stars. It's a cool action film with a post-apocalypse zombie theme to it. But the gaping holes in what they call a plot are hard to overlook. The characters are two dimensional. It is based on a video game after all, and it shows.

I give "Dororo" 4 stars. They did a great job adapting the manga to film. They changed some elements but the story is faithful to the original material. The only part I was not happy with was the warlord's attempt at redemption.

"Dororo" is the tail of Dororo and Hyakkimaru. Hyakkimaru is the son of Kagemitsu Daigo who sold the body of his son to demons for the power to conquer the world. Hyakkimaru is found by a healing shaman and given a fake body. He goes on a quest to kill the 48 demons to get his body back. He is joined by a thief named Dororo who is on a vendetta against Kagemitsu Daigo for the death of her family. They join forces in a similar goal against a menagerie of strange demons and monsters. In the end the story is good with some good sword fight sequences.

"Oneechanbara" is the story of a post apocalyptic Japan over run by zombies. The story of a small group of survivors that ban together in similar goals. The main character Aya is searching for the person that murder her father, Katsuji is searching for his sister, and Reiko is searching for the creator of the zombie plague Dr. Sugita. As with most zombie films the story is not very important. It’s the basic kill everything that moves and well trying not to hurt your friends. The sword fights are like something pulled from Dragon Ball Z, and most the characters are pretty hollow. All in all if you like zombies, swords, and again cowgirls in bikinis you will like this film.

I'm guessing the DVD distributor decided to package these two films together, as the "samurai girl" link is pretty tenuous.

"Chanbara Beauty" has a couple of samurai girls, but the only significant female character in "Dororo" spends the whole film masquerading as a man.

In either case these are both pretty good flicks, and the prints are of good quality, but the DVDs themselves are barebones. There are no extras anywhere on this set.
