Hands On

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. August 30, 2008

Not bad

I watched this on Spike. It's ok, not great but ok.

My biggest beef, why no Japanese language option? Sorry, but dubbed anime sucks. August 26, 2008

Afro Samurai

I wish there was more episodes, cant wait for a full length feature picking up where the episodes left off. August 19, 2008

Afro Samurai

This is definently a must for those who love anime. The animation definently has it's own style and in combination with Samuel L. Jackson and Ron Perlman, makes it a must to see.When you buy the Dvd set the case is decorated with art from the series. The only problem with the DvD set is, the DvD holding pieces inside are brittle, just be patient and take you time to get the DVD's out, you don't want to break the case. The second DvD has some pretty good but short Extras. I think they could have fit all of the extras onto the first DvD, but all the same it's a good buy.
If you are one of those goody two shoes people whos buying this for there kids, this is not a kids series. Afro Samurai has blood, blood and more blood with sex and as much cussing as a Spike Lee movie. August 4, 2008

"Tarantino style" - WTF

What I dont like the most..

That this animation is somehow described as 'Tarantino Style'.

How does this differ from any of the well established Anime or Manga creations that have graced our screens for the last 38 years.

It aggravates me, that this has turned a full circle.

That somehow, Tarantino's steal from this genre, has redefined itself as 'Tarantino style'.

This is Anime as we know it... and quite frankly it doesnt come close to some of the brilliant original films it has ripped off... July 14, 2008
