    good stuff! , November, 17, 2008

    loved the contrasting style between his conscience & his fighting style.
    worked well & broke the storyline enough to kep it from becoming mundane blood & killing but not too much to distract from the plot.
    thanks afro!

     

    THE SAMURAI IS AWESOME!!!!!!! , November, 12, 2008

    Getting the Afro Samurai on Blu Ray is a good way to see how the saga begins before the story begins again early in 2009. Those who are big on action that is visually stunning and a story that keeps you wanting more will really enjoy this disc.

     

    YO JUBEI! THERES A NEW HARDCORE SAMURAI IN TOWN!!! , October, 31, 2008

    Asolutely off the chain animation given to this disc Yo! Finally we have a full feature representation of Black Japanamation in the game to show how much the brothers have loved and appreciated this raw genre. The detail is crisp, the story so Sergio Leone style(A+++)and the characters are very interesting except for Afro's annoying alter ego who follows him everywhere. He has no purpose at all and they could have left him out with his corny humor. I do agree they could have given his character(Afro) more appeal and not be such a loner but it doesn't kill the flick at all. I am looking forward to season 2 and hope this time around they have more episodes than the first(5 only). I really have been impressed with Japan's interest in Black anime as of late(The Boondocks etc)and hope this continues as I am tired of seeing the same caucasian style characters male and female to tell stories that are so much more universal than what has been shown for so many years. The RZA's soundtrack is beautiful especially when he is fighting his robot self in the sky!! I love that part!!More, More,More!! Thanks and keep it hard guys!!!
