Wicked awesome animated series. As the title suggests, it stars a Samurai with an afro (and seemingly has no name beyond being referred to by this distinguishing characteristic). Ain't set in a normal Japan though. Some strange one where old and new mix. Some character have used flintlock rifles, others are pulling out revolvers, RPGs and crossbow-grenade launcher combos. And, of course, your large variety of normal melee weapons.
The story is pretty interesting (and dark) thus far and the action is awesome. It's fluid, kinetic and rather gory (which is why there's 'age verification' in the official web page). It's visually stunning. And Samuel L. Jackson voices the main character and his somewhat useless sidekick.
The only downside I think, is that it's only going to last five episodes.
Also Trailer and the for anyone who dosn't wanna go through a flash site to get a sample of what it's like.
It's on SpikeTV from what I hear, Thursdays at 11 PM. I've only seen the episodes via the internet, though. Ep. 2 is on SpikeTV.com though I can't remember the URL of where the first episode was.
So, anyone else seen it? Anyone not seen it but want to see it? Opinions, thoughts, etc?
