So why the hell would you be surprised with a samurai mecha anime. Just think of it as another Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors.)
You never know, this anime might turn out real good with that futuristic feel and old school samurai action (like Shinobi and Stryder with futuristic ninja action.)

Personally I have high hopes for this anime.
But the point is that samurai 7 is based off of a classic movie. With that said you'd think they would be a bit more traditional or something.
