The folks at Blu-ray.com have released the cover art for all 25 films that will be included in the Zatôichi: The Blind Swordsman Blu-ray Box Set, which will street on November 26th. Multiple pictures ahead:
Again, I’m not gonna go for this box set because I’ve never seen any of these films (though many are streaming on Hulu Plus, but I have bigger fish to fry), but to the fans who are this must be a really exciting announcement. Each of these covers were designed by a different artist which I think is pretty cool. The set will have 9 Blu-rays and 18 DVDs (meaning that there will probably be about 3 films per disc). The MSRP is a staggering $224.95, and Criterion has the set up for pre-order for $179.96.

Thanks for posting these. I’d not have seen them otherwise because Criterion lock their Region A discs, which means I can’t play them (I’m in Region B).
I wonder why they didn’t include the 26th film, made in 1989?
I’m not entirely sure whey Criterion didn’t release the last film. Perhaps it was a rights issue.
