The first one feels more like a Chiba film with some comedic bits, but is a lot more violent with more action. Still, a great release and the commentary on the Executioner is actually very informative on the history of Toei and a lot of the actors involved. Interesting to see Marc Walkow work with Arrow again.

I picked up the 2 dvd set early last year, haven’t watched them yet. I have the Arrow BD on the way & after reading your thoughts on them I’m looking forward to checking them out.

Hope you enjoy them. They are a bit different from the usual Chiba fare, but entertaining. Lots of regular Toei actors show up too.
