Anime - Afro Samurai Released - Episode 1

Just a quick notice...
The first episode of Afro Samurai has been released.


Obligatory: Samuel L. Jackson! Swo0on~
-_-

Either way, I have a feeling some of you should check it out.




With the high b1unt count and the language I figured it made sense to put an age requirement on the site, but the violence is worthy too.


Check this post from back in July for a Few more Details on Afro Samurai


Evaluation?

So far... GONZO has done a good job with the first episode. Considering its a 5 episode OVA I'm going to assume that they can't 'screw' it up (especially if they use all the budgets for each episode). I predict it won't waver much considering the amount of publicity its going to get.


Availability?

GDH had claimed it Telecasts on Cable Network SPIKE on January 4th, 2007
(Not sure if that’s changed, but a copy has already been released online. Probably safer to check with Funimation)

Now don’t fret... if you absolutely hate Samuel L. Jackson and the English cast or 'style', there’s a chance when it is released in Japan that it will come with a Japanese audio track.


NOW! Give in to the Stare! (and Samuel L. Jackson ofcourse) ^_^

  • yeah...spike aired the first episode 3 times last night

    i'm curious to see the ratings...
    i know i felt bad giving spike tv ratings by watching (their line up is horrible! why was comcast so intent on killing g4 and techtv to produce a copy of it?)

    who knows how it'll do; if i recall correctly, heat guy j was marketed on mtv a while back with similar intentions...but didn't really have a lasting impact.

    afro samurai has samuel l jackson, gonzo, and funimation backing it - and they've certainly built up enough hype (even the new york times and npr reviewed it!) but it's attached to spike tv and there really isn't any good way to describe how violent it was...

    so until then...it'll be interesting to see how it does


    and check your email already!!
