Afro Samurai, it's an adaptation of a comic that's been kinda popular in Japan:

Supposedly only 5 eps long, but I bet it'll hit Big O status. Show's just too good to leave like that.

Though with each episode totaling out @ $1M, I can see why they only made a handful. lol

If you go to the Afro Samurai web site it has a nice video clip to set the storyline up. It looks real good. Hope it comes out on DVD tho, cuz we don't get anything good on TV like that overseas:tear: .

Well as far as the story line...It's a revenge plot....sure its all been done before, but the art is good and I like the concept of stepping outside the box a little with kung-fu type stuff (i.e.: black samurai, kung-fu with guns). I didn't see any of the other trailers except for the one I mentioned in my previous post so maybe I missed something, but what exactly do you find wrong with it, just out of curiosity.

"I'm Afro Samurai bitch!!!!"

It's blacksploitation with an asian chanpur.

Like a futuristic take on '70s cult films.

There's more to appreciate about the show then action and black people. It's a pretty interesting art project, if you take time to notice the elements. I'd say the same folk who couldn't "get" Boondocks wouldn't really go for this show either.

lol, kinda a difference there with that one.

GITS > Afro Samurai

It's been around longer and has much more of a backing then AS does.

If anything, it's surprising that a 5 series show has managed to get the same budgeting as such a successful series. :bigthumb:

Pre-Spike TV or post? They made a return not too long ago, but the show wasn't all that great AFAIK.

lol, debts or not, he's getting paid. He's doing quite a few voices on the show actually, since the main character isn't much of a talker.

If you hate this show though, wait till you see the live-action adaptation. :P

I saw an interview with him on the Late Late Show, he's not making very much on this or The Boondocks.

He says voice acting is the most fun he's had in a while, aside from Snakes on A Plane. Sam Jackson is just a goofy bastard, I think.
