About the Kurosawa boxset, I wonder if they’re waiting for some special date, like they did with the Bergman and Fellini boxsets. Kurosawa’s wouldn’t be so easy though (as he was born in 1910) but maybe they’re waiting for the 25th anniversary of his death next year? Or maybe the 70th anniversary of “Seven Samurai” in 2024?
It’s probably nothing of that sort though. Maybe they’re not even planning a Kurosawa boxset at all, and we’ve been just engaging in wishful thinking for the last 7 years LOL

It just may be a matter of having the best transfers available. Perhaps there is extensive restoration still required. I don't think Criterion has abandoned Kurosawa, and I don't think they want to rush just anything out to the market. When there was a Fellini drought a few years back, it was because they were prepping a collector's set. So a Kurosawa set makes perfect sense. My question is, where are the Almodóvar titles we are supposed to get from Criterion? All About My Mother was almost 3 years ago.
