In short if you havent seen the anime, do yourself a favor. It's one of the best series out, voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and scored by the RZA (Killabeez stand up!).

~Goodz~

Your an asshole Good. Hey somebody that's actually SEEN the anime, plase come in here and correct this dude.

LOL i've never seen it... modern cartoons give me the creeps

am actually anime' fan and all i can say is that afro samurai is nothing more than a flashback to the blacksploitation films of the seventies, now don't get me wrong it's very well done and sam does one heckuva job voicing afro and his conscience, is that his conscience: ie, imaginary friend or is he real i can never figure that out?, however it's still nicely done and worth a look see if you've never seen it.

Naw Ninja Ninja is just his self conscience, he's just a figment of Afro's imagination. Funny you said that, I never got a blaxploitation vibe from it. It's just a simple story with great aesthetics and music.

oh come on really??? a black man as the good/bad guy but ultimately good??? total seventies feel. want another clue all the villians white that help any? well most of them i have seen anyhow and your right about the ninja feel of it...reminds me alot of samurai x except for he black....now if you a sam fan he also does a great cross over on boondocks

I should do a damn Boondocks appreciation post! That show is the best on TV man. You gotta get the box-set and hear then unedited! HILARIOUS!!

Your right, but I never got the sense they were trying to make a mockery of him, I thought the show had a serious tone.


"Challenge me when you are ready to duel a god..." WHEW!! Justice sounds a bit familiar...

sorry to give the impression of it being a mockery more like an omage you know kind of a trying to make up for those bad, classic, terrible movies. wasn't trying to sell it short in any of the since and if ppl don't already know about boondocks man it's thier loss.... that show always has me rollin' especially like the one where they try and kidnap oprah and get mia angelou instead. freekin hilarious
