Lone Wolf and Cub TV Series

I managed to get my hands of Episode 1 to 11 of the 1970s Japanese TV series, Lone Wolf and Cub. Originally published as a manga, it has been made into various movies and TV series in Japan. The manga was wonderfully drawn and the memorable characters exquisite.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 11 episodes. There are more than 70 episodes for this particular production. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be able to get my hands on the rest of them.
