Re: Afro Samurai

I think you can still see the first ep on spike tv's website. I saw it there, and I thought it was just ok. Seemed rather boring actually, as there was minimal dialogue, not much humor, nothing really creative about the show (at least from the first ep; I don't know how the other eps will turn out).

Re: Afro Samurai

just caught it... Didn't like all of it, but it held my interest enough to catch another episode or two to see if it improves or not.

I wonder what the live action version of this show is going to look like? Kill Bill only with a Male in the lead?

Re: Afro Samurai

I caught the first episode and thought it was straight. Gonzo did a good job from a production/animation standpoint. I kinda expected a corny americanized anime style so I was a little surprised. The series is only 5 episodes though so you have to wonder how much story were going to get.

Anyway: I can't pass up free entertainment and anime is so scarce here in the states.

I've seen all the anime on Adult Swim. I've already caught the unedited/subtiled versions of the "new" shows their airing now like Bleach, Eureka 7, and Naruto. I usually start watching the shows on CN, but then I get impatient and go online to watch the rest.

Re: Afro Samurai

Last night I watched the Director's Cut version on DVD with all five chapters on it. I thought it was really good and hope there will be more of this show to come in the future.

Re: Afro Samurai

Meh. I didn't really like it. The story is so linear and predictable.

The story basically goes like this:

Spoiler

Kid loses his father and kills everybody to avenge him. The end.
