| It's fine~ But what's I love the most are the fight scenes~ Woot~ Ninja Ninja is way too good~ xD |

| The movie was quite alright. Lucy Liu hell yeah. <3 |

JackCox said: I think that while SLJ is undeniably awesome, I thought Liam O'Brien as Shichiguro and Lucy Liu as Sio completely rocked the joint as well. Agreed! |

| In my opinion, this was way better than the tv series: eventhough it wasn't a short movie they managed to fit the story perfectly unlike the tv series where the plot needed more episodes to develop.The plot had much more drama than the first one and I really appreciated the more fluid fights not to mention that the songs sounded better with the flow of the scenes and the characters were well defined, especially Shio and Gino. |
 |
| What a great addition to the Afro Samurai's universe. The "new" characters are insane and the conclusion was surprisingly dramatic and thoughtful! The action in this one provides some of the most visually stunning and daring fights I've ever seen. This type of animated fighting is already a different style in its one, a la Afro Samurai style! |
 |
| Whatever. Chick was hot. |
| The soundtrack is so bad it's good. This was better than the TV series, IMO. Still leaves space for a sequel, I'll be waiting. 6/10, 3/5. |
| That wasn't so great but it was good..Only the ending seemed so epic..I'll give it a 8 :D |

| Is it me or did the animation significantly improve? Hmm, some thoughts on the movie: I think the action in the beginning is pretty nice with the visuals and movements. I think I'm referring to the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP0yOW6FpEM Seems like Afro is more energetic in this movie. "Let's parttttttttttttty" LOL. Uh, overall rating this 7/10. This was actually a good movie imo. |
 |
| It was ok, much better than the series though. |
| Not bad... |
| I think I liked the movie better than the series. It was more flashy. This time Jinno dies for good, in the hands of his sister. That was a nice scene. Now that kid will start the same path as Afro. With a big trauma, thirst for revenge, a stupid haircut ... all he need is an imaginary friend and some experience. And Justice is appearing in the final seconds. I hope there will be a new movie but I kinda doubt that. |
 |
| Damn what a film, I actually liked it a bit more than the series. As soon as I saw the "father" of the kid was going to fight Afro I had a feeling the kid was going to be on the same path Afro did, revenge. The animation / art was just superb really. Ninja Ninja still funny as hell :) 8/10 |

| The plot was mediocre as hell but it doesn't bother me at all... I wasn't expecting some story with an awesome development... This is just what it is, "popcorn material" with good fights and the ost was really enjoyable as well. |
| The quality of this movie is just as good as the original Afro Samurai but I personally like how the story is set up in this movie more than the original. So the cycle of blood continues... |
  |
| That was good, but I expected his fight with his dad would've longer and epic but it ended suddenly. I liked how Jinno tried to defend him in the end and the sister followed suit, too bad they died in the end. As for Afro, I guess the headband thing continues again. I liked also how he handed Kotaro the number 2 headband to come at him whenever he's ready, what a cold ass Bastard. 7/10. |

| sh*t this anime is very good, Is Justice a vampire?? where is the fuking sequel?? |
 |
| Everything was good except the fact they tried to milk the series, I mean what was that plot weird as shit, we still didn't know why Sio was so mad for revenge, I mean Afro didn't do that to her family cause he won't kill unless someone is in his way. 6/10 |
| The movie really lived up to its namesake because nearly everyone who supposedly died are suddenly alive again for little to no reason. It must be the work of those accursed headbands. The action's a pleasure to the eyes as usual but the variation between Afro's opponents were less varied this time and Ninja Ninja's more annoying than he could've ever been in the first movie for some reason. He might just be a part of Afro's imagination but it's better off that he continued to kick the bucket instead. Sio's potential as a powerful femme fatale villain was kind of wasted since she doesn't have that much power when she's by herself after all. It's sad that she realized that it's not up to her to carry out revenge on the behalf of other people after she saw Jinno throw his own life away to protect Afro only when it's too late. She was really seductive though and Lucy Liu's performance was very sultry. I secretly wish that there would be another raunchy scene with her instead of just the strip club scene~ He had to kill Kotaro's dad for the Number 2 Headband and he pretty much reached the end of the whole cycle of hatred once he took back the Number 1 Headband only to reach the beginning with a different cast this time. His troubles certainly aren't going to get any better from that point on and Justice coming back for no reason proves it. |

| I enjoyed the movie more than the 5 episode series |
| Felt like sequel to game where you get nerfed and have to re-do everything again. 7/10 little worse than the original series |
 |
| Totally loved the movie, great soundtracks like in the anime and the visuals were outstanding! |
 |
| I thought that in this movie they would explain that end that the anime had, but it turned out they didn't explain anything and left a lot open. I also didn't understand that post-credit scene that the movie had. |

| Dude, I won't bother watching this one(I will skim). The voice-acting is so cringe, the story is so predictable and mediocre. The characters have very little depth to them, and can be extremely naive. I enjoyed the 5 episodes enough to find enjoyment in them, while excusing faults. This movie though...big pass to preserve my respect for Afro Samurai. |
| Please send me a message/profile comment since I will most likely not check my forum posts. Thank you. |
| It's a rule of cool action shows. The animation is so fluid. Damn. If what you wanted was good writing, you watched the wrong thing. |
| Wish we can get a full conclussion to this one day, in the manga it did but not here strangely. |
  |
| Afro is one helluva character, bro is ruthless and doesn't give a fk who's in front of him. But man... this show had so much potential. If they made into a 12-ep series it would definitely bang, has all the tools needed to be a great anime. |
| Joe, Joe Forever.... |
| WOW, I rarely like animes and rate the ma majoiry 1/10 but this anime movie was just amazing the animation, the philosphy, the lifestyle of afro and so much more just embodies and amazing story. I would 100% recommend this to new anime watchers. |
| I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING. I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously) No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die. RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING. |
