I couldn't rent Shogun Assassin anywhere, so I just decided to buy it. As can be seen in the DVD thread I received the movie today and I just watched it. For those unfamiliar this is the movie that little BB wanted to watch with the Bride towards the end of Kill Bill Vol. 2. I really liked this movie. It wasn't better than Lady Snowblood but it was still a cool movie and had some awesome music to it. It doesn't end with the first movie (actually this DVD has the first 2 movies of the series edited together), so I need to get the rest of the DVDs to finish the story
