Seven Samurai, as a movie, wasnt about Seven Samurais doing cool Samurai Shit. It was a story that dealt with topics of class, war, generation and the idea of heroism.
The interactions between the characters wasnt mere banter, it reflected plenty of things about each of them and the relationship each had.
The character of Katsushiro, for example, Starts as a naive young kid who idealizes being a Samurai, but by the end, as he matures, he becomes saddened by the reality of combat. likewise his romance with the local village girl is tragic, because they can never be together due to their class differences.
Meanwhile, the character of Kikuchiyo was that of a farmer who was faking being a Samurai. But by the end, despite his antics, he dies a true Samurai's death, to the point nobody can deny this farmer is no warrior.
And in the end, the final note is sad. because while they were victorious, our heroes lost their friends in the process. which leads to them sadly comment that the villagers won, but they lost.
And it was not for some greater good. it was not a battle to save the world, or to rescue a princess. it was to defend a "mere" village. A village that is not important in the grand scheme of things.
And to ignore that part, to ignore that the core of Seven Samurai is having these distinct characters with distinct personalities interacting and clashing and changing as people as they fight a battle that matter to no one but a bunch of villagers, what you end up with is with a hollow product.

Leonardo and Yuichi cook together as often as they can but Leonardo, being a morning person and a good househusband, is exclusively in charge of breakfast 🥞
(Hana got the Usahana nightshirt for Yuichi as a father's day gift because she thought it was hilarious. Yuichi also thinks it's hilarious but also very very sweet)
Also @threestripeslider ...yes (yes to all of your tags but especially to this one)

About guns…
Maybe I love guns too much.
Here I will tell you about Wesker's guns, and there's a bonus at the bottom.
In re5 Wesker uses two guns. One is his main one, this is Samurai Edge, the second is a backup, and he is unknown. But I assumed it was a modified Beretta 92FS or Beretta M9A1 (leaning towards the former).
And...
Wesker's spare gun is only used in the airplane scene, where he has two different guns for some reason.
Funny moment: during the game, when he shoots at the player from Samurai Edge, this is his regular version without modifications. But it is in the airplane that this gun has a laser designator. A mistake?
In re4r Wesker uses the XM96E1 gun, it's a modified version of the Beretta 96 Vertec Inox. I originally thought the backup 92FS from re5 was the prototype for the XM96E1, but upon closer inspection I realized it wasn't.
In re4og, Wesker's weapon is a standard handgun, which is also available to Leon and has the name "Silver Ghost", Wesker uses it in Umbrella Chronicles complete with a silencer. In the remake, this gun was changed and is now called "SG-09R", Wesker cannot use it, he was lucky enough to get something of his own, his XM96E1. Although it's a pity that it's not Samurai Edge. The game versions of the Silver Ghost and SG-09R are based on the real H&K USP, with the addition of parts from several other H&K guns.
There is a misconception that Wesker's XM96E1 is one of the prototypes for the final version of the "Albert System Weapon" guns, but this is not the case. The guns from this series (Samurai Edge AWModel01) are based on the Beretta 92FS, while the XM96E1 is based on the Beretta 96 Vertec Inox. There are similarities, and it is the similarities that make people get confused about these guns.
Bonus: during the Re Showcase (January 2021), the first version of the Deluxe Edition was shown, in which we can see that initially "Samurai Edge AWModel01" was called "Albert01 Chris". By the release of the game, it was renamed Samurai Edge AWModel01 to match the name from re7.
However… this is a strange phenomenon. They planned to change the name of this pistol for the re8, hinting that it mattered, but then they abandoned it. What could it mean?

broadly speaking there are 3 types of original anime: competent, over-ambitious, and indulgent
competent stuff is the kind of shows that have people begging for more anime original stories, think odd taxi, vivy, a place further than the universe, basically every big anime movie
over-ambitious stuff starts out with people begging for more anime original storoes but it becomes clear that the creators were in over their heads to some degree. the most infamous examples of this are kado and wonder egg, but classroom crisis, akiba maid war, and angel beats to a much lesser degree are also probably closer to this category than the former
indulgent shows aren't over ambitious really, they usually do have a lot of ideas shoved into them and aren't super well realised, but you can tell that the creators weren't really trying to do much besides have fun, and this makes them loads of fun when you don't take them too seriously, think robihachi, bucchigiri, and samurai flamenco
