Anime Reinvented October 3, 2008
J. Nance (Souther Cali)
Afro Samurai (Director's Cut)
Amazing product. The Art in This Film are About as Inpeccable as the Story it Follows. Any Frame From Any Scene Can be Taken Out, Cropped, Blown Up, Framed, and be Put up in Any Museum because it Truly is Art.
I Highly Recommend This to Anyone Who Would Enjoy a New Take on the Theology of the Samurai. Or Perhaps if You Enjoy Animated Violence, Plain a Simple. Afro Delivers on Both Counts.
 A Textbook Example of Style Over Substance September 25, 2008
gigantor21 (Baldwin, NY)
When I first heard about Afro Samurai, the $1 million-per-episode price tag is what hooked me. In a sea of cheap looking anime, the show's budget is mind-boggling--and it shows. You only see animation this good in movies. Couple that with the unique blend of hip hop and soul elements with a samurai revenge story, and you get a visual experience that's as fresh as it's first rate. That's all the more evident in HD.
But that's where it loses those 2 stars.
While the animation is amazing, nothing else stands out. The story is a shallow excuse for gore and titillation; the dialouge is cringe inducing; Justice is the only unique and/or likeable character (ironically enough). The story has no legs on its own; had it gotten a more reasonable animation budget, I would've left after the first episode.
In the end, all I got out of it was the wish they'd put the resources elsewhere.
Great anime, just short September 21, 2008
J. M. Pullen (Fort Wayne, IN)
This is a great anime, even though it is very short. Sam Jackson does an awesome job with the voices and Ron Pearlman is just incredible. The story is original, fun, and interesting. A must pick up for any anime fan. Oh yeah, it looks superb on BLU-RAY!!!
 Awesome! September 21, 2008
James M. Sulak (Mesa AZ)
Got delivered 1 week ahead of time!! The only thing is that the movies is still in episode form....would of liked the directors cut to play through all five episodes like a continuous movie....but the movie rocks.
Hands On August 30, 2008

I bought the Blu-Ray and I gotta say the image is crystal clear and the audio is superb. If you like this anime and got an HDTV, this is for you. The only letdown is the lack of special features, but I can live with that.
