_A Samurai in Time_ is one of the most heartwarming time-traveling films you will ever see. The characters are well-written and you become fully invested in the story. For a guy who did the majority of the behind-the-scenes work himself, director Junichi Yasuda has crafted a genuine film of kindness, integrity, and purely delightful entertainment. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/TimeRonin

<em>'A Samurai in Time'</em> is truly splendid. I wouldn't actually describe it as anything super enthralling or anything, but it is supremely watchable, fairly amusing and surprisingly hearty - the 120+ minute run time flew by. I'd happily revisit this one. The performances of Makiya Yamaguchi and Norimasa Fuke are of real quality, both individually and as a collective. I totally believed and bought into the trajectory of the characters, which is impressive as otherwise they've could've been quite plain 'fish out of water' types. Yuno Sakura (cool to read about her backstory for this, same can be said for the film as a whole in fact), Rantaro Mine and Tsutomu Tamura manage to stick out behind the main two, as do a few other of the more minimal roles in this; e.g. Manko Kurenai’s. It does lean on the out of place trope, but I don't mean that negatively whatsoever because they add their own thing to keep it feeling fresh. As the minutes tick by, it relies less and less on that and the, relatively more unique, conclusion is the film at its best in my opinion. Great film! It was also nice to learn a bit about Jidaigeki, too. My first venture into its world, I believe.
