Half a GRAND?!?!
No show, no matter how long-running or popular, is worth half a thousand dollars. Seriously, 500 dollars?!

this item is not as picture
have not watched it yet but beware it is the bootleg version if it says samurai troopers and comes in to boxes.
This is the Definitive collection for Ronin Warrior (Samurai trooper in Japan) fans. Not only do you get the complete series (watch in either english or Japanese) but you also get the two OVA released later on. I shall review the three individually.
Ronin Warriors – *****
The Series that started it all for this franchise. The story is that these five teenagers were granted Mystical Armour to fight against the evil Emporer Tulpa and his Dynasty. Tulpa has 4 warlords each wearing Armour similar to that of the Ronins. It is up to Ryu, Sage, Sai, Kento, and Roen to stop the dynasty. Along the way the get allies in the forms of Mia, the daughter of an Archeologist studying the Armours, The ancient guardian of the Armours, White Blaze a white tiger who protects the Ronins as well, and a little boy who lost his parents to the dynasty (Sorry the name slips my mind at the moment). Overall this series is around 40 episodes of Hard Hitting action and great story.
Ronin Warriors New Adventure – ****
The New Adventure takes place around 6 months after the End of the series. In that time the five ronins have kept close contact with each other and are enjoying life. Then a mysterious african warrior shows up wearing a black Mystical Armour of Inferno. It is during this series of episodes that the Ronins began to realize what the true form of their white armour of Inferno and they must stop it. This one is not so much about story as it is action. In a way that hurt it a little but not much.
Ronin Warrior The Message – ***
This one ended up being an attempt to create a spin off to the series. In the beggining of this it has now been years since their last adventure and now they have become accustomed to normal life. A new sorceress shows wanting to destroy the armours and replace them with her own. She sets up doing this by either trapping them or Luring them into doing it willingly. The problem with this one is that it is too story driven. There is almost no action what so ever. In fact most of the story is Flashbacks to the previouse two as well as earlier episodes in this OVA. With this one each warrior is going through in his mind what it means to be a Ronin Warrior. In the end it is too story driven and eventually just becomes boring. It’s still good, but not what fans would be expecting.
Overall this is a great series to get. Highly recomended.

BEWARE vendors do not sell Amazon item as listed
PLEASE be aware that the two vendors listed as selling the product AMAZON is listing here do not offer the OFFICIAL Ronin Warriors boxed set as presented by AMAZON.
Please check the version that you choose to buy. There are two versions of this boxed set, one is the real deal and the other is a bootleg. I’m not sure which version this one is because the one I purchased was labled as the official set. It wasn’t till it came that I knew that it was labled Legandary Armor Samurai Troopers and was badly subtitled throughout the first five disks. That fact didn’t really bother me because I know the story backwards and fowards and I also know some Japanese, but that might bother someone not that familiar with the anime. Of course there is always the option of watching the dubed version which I haven’t seen any errors in.
Ways You Can Tell A Bootleg While Shopping Online:
1)It says Region All or Region Code None
2)Fewer disks – The official Boxed set has 12 disks and the bootleg only has eight
Ways You Can Tell A Bootleg After You Get It:
1)The Box has a compleatly different cover than the one advertised
2)The Box has the Japanese name instead of the English one
3)You go to watch the subtitled version only to relize that there are large gaps in the subtitling causing confusuion in the storyline.
4)the picture appears grany (I didn’t have this problem, but it does happen from time to time)
5)You notice steps 1 & 2 in how to spot a bootleg online (in the event of false advertising)
I hope this helps. Ja ne!

The Advent of the Ronin WarriorsThis BOX SET is a long time coming. Ronin Warriors has always been another of my few favorite anime cartoons I was graced to see on Cartoon Network’s TOONAMI at a…
Ronin Warriors. Man-oh-man. I love this series – matter of fact, it’s one of my top 5 favorites. Called ‘Yoroiden Samurai Troopers’ in the original Japanese format, the story revolves around 5 teenage boys gifted with mystical yoroi (Armor) to battle the evil realm of the Demon Emperor Talpa and his minions.
The TV series starts off with the 5 lads: Ryo, Sage, Rowen, Kento, and Cye (Ryo, Seiji, Touma, Shuu, and Shin, in the Japanese). They’re young, unsure, untried in battle. Five complete strangers pulled together by one common bond. And that is that they must save our world from a ghostly villain bent on conquering it. They must rally together and fight as one, 5 peices of a whole. Tentative bonds of friendship are forged under the burden they’ve shouldered, as the final battle draws nearer and nearer.
As far as plotline goes, it’s not exactly as deep as Evangelion. Use the Armor, beat the bad guy. End of story. Add in one brainy gal, a jabbering cardigan-vested-blue-shorts-wearing half-pint and one large tame white tiger, and that’s the series, right there. The bad guys almost always loose, and they’re you’re typical team of underlings who get beat up on by not only the good guys, but their master. …or are they? Not exactly, says the typical old-and-wise-mysterious-priest.
With names like Anubis, Kale, Dais, and Sekhmet (in the dub version anyway, the Japanese knows them as Shuten Douji, Anubisu, Rajura, and Naaza), it’s almost impossible to NOT like the villains, these Evil Warlords. At least, that’s my opinion. Honestly I’d take the bad guys over the Ronin Warriors anyday. They’re mean, they’re cruel, they’re persistent, and they’re most definetly misguided. Score! Color me there, man. Things don’t get any better for the poor baddies when one of them gets brought over to the good side, and his replacement is a very annoying, very powerful teenage girl who always appears surrounded by wisteria.
And that’s when things start to get really interesting. It’s an old-school series. There’s a distinct lack of CGI animation, something the newer Toonami-Adult Swim set of anime fans will notice. The animation is completely hand-drawn, though most of the time it’s hard to tell when the 3rd string animation team stepped in. There are battle cries, transformation sequences (complete with non-optional blowing cherry blossoms), cut scenes of characters posturing, and really swanky attacks with nifty names. So, yeah, at times, it’s pretty corny. But if you, like me, get a good grin out of yelling the cries along with the characters, this is definetly a series for you.
As far as voice-acting goes, the English version isn’t half-bad. Sure, the dubbed characters were stereotyped (let’s not get into Rowen’s New-Yorkah accent and Kento’s surfer-boy slang, or Cye’s quaint British charm), and there is some cheesy dialogue (‘Yeah, well, yer momma wears army boots!’ … nice comeback, Ryo…), but what do you expect from a series dubbed back then? Granted, it’s not as visually stunning as ‘Ghost in the Shell : Innocence’, or as smoothly-animated as ‘Cowboy Bebop’, but this is one series that every die-hard anime fan has to see. How’s that saying go? ‘Know Your Roots’?
Flare up now, man. Flare up now.

freakin’ awesome
I ordered the Ronin Warriors set but when I received it, it turned out to be Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers, which is indeed the same thing.

I love this cartoon
I just really like this cartoon. Nice animation, interesting (and, in the case of Kento, quite amusing) characters, good plotline, really nice scenery.

Ronin Warriors Awesome
In as few words as I can, this is simply the best spent $100 dollars of my life. The series in its entirety from episode 1-39 and then as a bonus you get all 3 OVAs.
