Looked at some Taiwanese / HK stuff last time, and people get testy when I stray to the Chinese side of shinobi cinema, so I’ll boomerang things right back with some tried and true Raizo Ichikawa.
Speaking of Raizo, I’ve been drooling over the Sleepy Eyes of Death box set from Animeigo, which I’m late in picking up. I haven’t seen these films since the inky VHS bootleg days, and man do they look and sound tremendous here. Plenty of slaughtered ninja around, too…
