{"product_id":"0737187004513","title":"Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance","description":"\"The first entry in the celebrated cinematic adaptation of the Lone Wolf and Cub legend, Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance makes its DVD debut courtesy of the folks at AnimEigo. Presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, the image is nearly flawless. AnimEigo notes on the back of the packaging that they have utilized a new 35 mm print in an effort to bring this film to life on DVD, and their efforts have certainly paid off. Their claim that this print rivals even the original theatrical presentation is, indeed, well founded, as the image sports both solid, vivid colors and virtually no signs of aging at all. The remarkably clean print shows virtually no signs of debris and skin tones are spot-on accurate. As for the audio, the Japanese Dolby Digital Stereo track comes through loud with no evidence of hiss or other notable distortion. English subtitles are presented in easy-to-read yellow with bold, black outlining. Though some may be dismayed at the apparent lack of extras offered on this release, upon closer inspection, AnimEigo has done quite a commendable job in including some truly informative, but low-key, bonus materials. Interactive program notes include 25 pages of historical information that truly gives the viewer an intimate understanding of Japanese culture in the period in which the film is set, containing minute detail on everything from social conventions to the code of the samurai. Likewise, helpful liner notes inform the viewer of common phrases and terms, which ultimately results in a better understanding of both the characters and their motivations. Rounding out the extra features are trailers for Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance, Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril, Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of Demons, and Zatoichi the Outlaw. Each trailer is presented letterboxed and in nearly as good shape as the feature presentation itself.\"","brand":"ANIMEIGO--KOCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087785705712,"sku":"0737187004513","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0737187004513_p0.jpg?v=1763847815","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0737187004513","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
