Afro Samurai


Recommended Posts

Overall I did like it, but a couple of things irked me.

First, I dont mind 8 foot bandannas flowing in the wind (even indoors?) all the time, but that sidekick's bandanna just floats in midair and doesn't move. That drove me nuts.

Second, I'm okay with the mixture of weapons like the crossbow over/ granade launcher under or even the RPG samurai, but cel phones? I just couldnt get past that. I guess I'm too technical because I kept thnking, where is their cellular network with towers and cables? Why are they walking everywhere if they have the technological level for wireless communication?

Big plusses for the music. The Rza really captured mood of each scene and I especially liked the Ennio Morricone type theme after Afro's dad got beheaded.

They're probably on the Kill Bill trip, where the story takes place in modern times, yet all of their disputes are solved with sword duels and martial arts where a submachinegun would be easier. As a matter of fact, I didn't pay much attention to the episode, but I'm not sure if a time period was ever specified for this story...

So when in the hell are we getting a new episode? I watched last night and it was a repeat of the first one and I didn't see any new info on the Spike TV or Afro Samurai websites.

Next week they are showing a new episode and last weeks again after it with a repeat of the new episode an hour later I believe.

Or maybe just post apocalyptic earth.....like Fallout.

Handphones and grenade launchers are LOSTO TECHNOLOGY. :lol:
