The thing about this one is, it was a gamble. Something completely new and original with a chance to be great or fail miserable. Thank goodness it was great. Gory, original, and action packed. Not to mention a "eh" not so bad story line. The main character "afro" is not just randomly killing people. He is seeking revenge for his father. If I were to rate story is an easy A, visuals A+++, character's A++++, Length was a bit short but perfect in that it was not prolonged and repetitively annoying and boring B+, Music was fitting nothing to extraordinary or bland A-, overall highly recommended for "that" type of crowd. Not for children!!!
im not usually into animae movies and such, mabe the odd cartoon captures my interest but rarely does a animae or manga movie like this attract me. the main character is like a jim kelly martial arts expert crossed with a samurai, the blend of african and japanese cultures is cutting edge and very different from usual animae movies which lack a urban or almost...gangster kind of persona. the graphics are amazing and give a kill bill vibe to a lot of the fight scences, the blend of hip hop music provided by the RZA of the wu tang clan is perfect, its a blend of corny cowboy / hip hop and spaghetti western that helps set the scene. a poor amatuer review like mine doesnt do justice to the cartoon, SAMUEL L JACKSON really picked a winner to do a voice over on and the characters almost remind you of a bad ass shaft like samuel as well !Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
A great blaxploitation anime. This show has engaging characters, a highly stylized art concept and an engaging soundtrack from the RZA. With it's only concerns being the fact that it is only 5 episodes long and the features on this version are limited.
This Series is excelent. if you like Samuel L Jackson, the music of the RZA, samurai, violence and great animation mange style you have to own this series. Afro is a kid who see is father murder by the number one assassin and he want to avange is fathers death. Typical samurai story, but this time you have a fresh samurai who smoke weed.
