    Awesome Show/
    I first heard about this a little after the e3 convention 2006. And was amazed by the sound of the title "Afro Samurai" Right then in there i had a vision of this character looking like Jim Kelly from enter the dragon.

    Needless to say he reminds me of him in some way's. Anyhow i had awaited the premiere of this show.

    And It's awesome in all aspects of the word. It has great voice overs, Scene's, and blood.

    If you are into arse kicking samurai's and Samuel L. Jackson. Afro Samurai is the show for you! I highly recommend watching it.

    Im not sure when the DVD comes out.

    But i will be on the look out.

    Enjoy IMDb'rs.
