hey all! i just saw Yojimbo and Voices of A Distant Star! i loved Yojimbo ....my first Kurosawa film ^_^...... i really loved the western version, clint eastwood is soo....cool! Voices of a Distant Star was just sad it made my eyes tear up and i NEVER cry. it was excellent though, like grave of the fireflies. i also like the short, she and her cat, that was sweet. so anyway, i just wanted some thoughts on these two movies. thanks!

Well, VOADS is, of course, awesome. Sad, but awesome.

And Yojimbo, well, I've never heard of it.

I...Love...Yojimbo. And no I don't mean myself. That is my favorite Kurosawa and my namesake of course. I'll have to check out that anime for sure:thumb:

when I saw Ypjimbo, I thought she was talking bout you lol

Never seen it but I have seen Voices (own it). I really like it. It's very sad but I still like it. Im planning on making a music vid of it.

I've never even hear of it... I didn't know Yojimbo named himself after a real anime character, I just assumed he made the name up...

A yojimbo is a bodygaurd. It's a real word...a Japanese word, that is. I have yet to see GOTF or VOADS.

Oooohhhhh. Thanks!

Yep Yojimbo means bodyguard.

What's yojimbo about, and what's it like content wise?

"Yojimbo" is about a ronin (Toshiro Mifune, George Lucas' original choice for Obi-Wan Kenobi) who arrives in a small town run by two factions. He goes about playing the two sides up against each other until they eventually get what was coming to them. I'd recommend it.

PS: Strictly speaking, Yojimbo is not anime, it's live action.
