Afro Samurai

Genre: action, samurai, gore


:arrow: You have got to be kidding me!! No Afro Samurai topic? oh no no, I won't allow that. :)

This thing is PACKED with extreme fighting action. Including samurais, gunmans, and all sorts of crazy guys.
And for the love of god, don't you DARE not try this!!!
It is only 5 episodes long!! So you've got NO excuse to not watch it.
Oh yes, make sure you watch it in a decent quality. Cuz this thing moves way too fast for crappy qualities. xD
It is dubbed, but don't let it hold you back! It doesn't make it any less great.
It features a hip-hop OST that matches wonderfully with the action. Seriously.

It's a BEAUTIFUl thing to see if you like extreme fighting action.
Do NOT miss this! :D

Note: the full-lenght movie came out a while ago. And in my opinion it doesn't compare to the original 5 episode anime, but it's still nice to watch.
Note2: and now the game for the PS3 came out. From what I heard it's no major win, but it isn't bad at all. Check it out if you own a PS3. ^^

I enjoyed it. This anime has helped some of my friends come over to the "dark side" and become otakus like me. Samuel L Jackson talks crazy like he always does (not a bad thing).

Dude, Afro Samurai was so epic when it came out. I truly am surprized noone made a thread before you.

But as previously said, its only 5 episodes, so its worth a watch.

I liked the first afro samurai, It was excellent, The second had potential but that last fight ruined it for me.

I was a fan of both seasons and hope to see a third one

The movie was kinda like... I dunno. I guess the frenetic action of afro samurai just ain't that good in a full-lenght movie format. If you know what I mean. 20-minute episodes is really how it should be. ^^ (but i'm not saying the movie is bad! cause it's quite good :))

Now I want MOAR!! Third Season pleeeeeeeease. >.<

Not a real fan of the series and the main hero was very unlikeable for me. The teddy guy on the other hand would have made for an interesting hero in my opinion.

I didn't like the setting of the series as well but maybe thats just me...

I felt the same about it the way I felt about Samurai Champloo.
Not much.

Afro Samurai kicks ass. Really liked the characters and the setting, but the story was a bit meh IMO.

The soundtrack that came with the DVD is awesome, too :P

Personally, I think Afro Samurai (1st season) was WAY too short. They could have fleshed out the characters a bit more, like the Empty Seven :?
They fell a bit short in terms of background story and character development, imo...

Hum, you do have a point there. The only story you get to know reasonably besides Afro's is of his orphan friends. Although I think it's on purpose,


I like it this way. ^^

I don't really know how I feel about this anime. Time eras seem to clash.
"This shit is bananas!" :?

It's totally awesome fight scene wise. Though the ebonics in a Japanese setting with feudal era scenery but high technology.

Did anyone notice their sandals too? Generally sandals have wood on the bottom, I always wondered how their feet must have felt, especially between their big toes. But in this anime it looks like instead of wood, it's cushioned with some flotation thing.

I think it's one of the reasons Afro Samurai is as awesome as it is. Cell phones, cyborgs, RPGs and Afrodroid in a feudal era setting? I totally dig that.

Hahahaha now that you mention it. Kinda like hovercrafts, right? xD hahaha
Doesn't it look badass like that? I love it.
If someone knows where I can get a pair of those, please tell me. :lol:

Nothin I didn't really like would ever grace my avatar.

Hard to acknowledge it as a pure-blooded anime though...

not much to say, but this:


AFRO SAMURAI RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Afro hairs the best! :D
