Early reviews highlight the thrilling action and compelling characters, describing it as a show you won’t be able to stop watching.
The new series, Last Samurai Standing, has received a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Based on a popular manga, this action-packed martial arts show stars Junichi Okada (known for From Up on Poppy Hill and Tales from Earthsea) as Shujiro Saga. He enters a high-stakes competition where each life is worth one point, and the ultimate prize is a massive cash reward. Early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with Jeff Ewing from Collider giving it a 9 out of 10, praising the series while noting a few areas that could have been further developed.
Despite any flaws, this show is a thrilling, can’t-miss experience and stands out as the best action series on television this year.
Rendy Jones from RogerEbert.com praised the movie’s complex action scenes and how well it combined exciting thrills with heartfelt emotion.
As a total cinema lover, I have to say this action series is just incredible. It’s a truly epic experience, delivering some of the most complex and well-done action sequences I’ve seen on TV in ages, but what really grabbed me was the genuine emotion and heart at its core. It made me genuinely care about what happened to the characters.

Jonathon Wilson from Ready Steady Cut highly praised Last Samurai Standing, giving it 4 out of 5 stars and comparing it to a blend of Shogun and Squid Game. He felt this comparison was so apt that any other description would be unprofessional. James Marsh of the South China Morning Post also awarded the series 4/5 stars, describing it as a thrilling and fast-paced story that expertly combines historical mystery, courageous characters, and increasing danger.
Alix Blackburn from Tom’s Guide called Last Samurai Standing one of the best shows of 2025, and recommended it to viewers who enjoy Squid Game and Shogun.
I just finished the new series, and I have to say, it’s easily one of my favorites from all the streaming shows this year! It reminded me of the intensity of “Squid Game” and the epic scope of “Shogun,” but it really stands on its own as a gripping story. The action is intense, and it’s surprisingly moving too. Honestly, I couldn’t stop watching – it’s a total binge-worthy experience!
