Melt My Eyez See Your Future by Denzel Curry is one of my favorite rap albums. Walkin and John Wayne are probably my favorites off of it, but it always makes me giggle when i remember that Zatoichi has parts with breakcore. I never expect that in a rap song

I love films where when anyone absentmindedly asks a horse a question, it reliably neighs in answer, like, "Oh, yes, indubitably."
I want to live in a world where horses are such astute conversationalists.

La Légende de Zatoïchi 2 – Le Secret (1962)
Suite directe du premier film, ce deuxième opus propose un rythme plus soutenu ainsi qu'un affrontement entre Zatoïchi et un sabreur manchot joué par Tomisaburô Wakayama (futur Ogami Itto dans la saga Baby Cart), soit le propre frère de Shintarō Katsu !

La Légende de Zatoïchi 1 – Le Masseur Aveugle (1962)
Classique du chanbara (bien que paradoxalement assez avare en combats) qui bénéficie de la maîtrise sans faille de Kenji Misumi derrière la caméra et lance au passage une des plus longues saga de l'histoire du cinéma japonais (26 films!).

Les Origines de Zatoïchi – Le Bandit Aveugle (1960)
Sorte d'épisode test avant le véritable début de la saga, c'est ce film qui a permis à Shintarō Katsu de développer son personnage de masseur aveugle - ici un énorme salopard à l'opposé de la figure héroïque qu'il deviendra. Une belle curiosité.

Parmi l'avalanche de coffrets sortis fin 2025, celui consacré à Zatoïchi chez @robotofilms.bsky.social mérite le détour. Restauration impeccable, packaging classe et des bonus précis qui remettent chaque film dans son contexte... Un immanquable pour les amateurs de bis et les fans de chanbara.

New season soon, so time for a Frieren rewatch. And one of my favorite things remains, as spouse phrased it, "The Zatoichi of it all." Gosh, that elven mage couldn't possibly be Frieren from the hero's party, right??
THERE ARE CANONICALLY EXTREMELY FEW ELVES!!
Oh shit, it's Zatoichi!
