Afro Samurai

Stylish and gory, like Samurai Jack meets Lone Wolf and Cub.

Dumb as fuck animated gore porn.

People aren't kidding when they say this lacks execution. I mean in reality, this has everything to make this kind of movie good. Jackson, RZA making music, and Japanese/Black Exploitation parody to boot. But for some reason or another it doesn't work. The voice cast and plot is surprisingly super boring, but ya know, there are awesome bits, like the hyper violence and cool animation, which save this movie from being a total failiure.

Forgot I had seen this. It's alright.

You want to watch this with english dub, not japanese. Trust me.

Don't go in expecting any substance or a meaningful narrative for that matter. The story purely exists to give the action some context. It's so the animators have something to animate, which in Afro Samurai's case are epic fight sequences. And to be fair, they're handled exceptionally well, no doubt about it and with only 5 episodes it does not overstay its welcome. So if you're a fan of gory animated action make sure you check this out. Otherwise, you're far better of with Samurai Champloo.

Just as "Resurrection" is my favorite non-family animated movie, this is my favorite non-family animated series. Completely driven by its hyper stylized visuals and amazing cast, "Afro Samurai" rarely has a dull moment with incredible set-pieces and action sequences. Ron Perlman should be in everything.

TV Series was better........

AFROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Not very good, but it's not, like, unwatchable.
