Amazing, yet weird. The last ten minutes are extremely WTF. Ending was predictable, too. But still, amazing. |

there was one thought looming in my mind when I was watching this. And that was "where the f*** is justice?" seriously we saw from the last episode of the series that he was still alive, but all we get is a bit of his eye in the last scene. |

Just finished watching and I loved it. It was great in it's emotional scenes and, of course S L. J rules as Afro and Ninja. The fighting was awesome and it had a good revenge story to tell. |

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. I hope Kintaro goes after Afro. |

I was rather disappointed with parts of the overall movie. It started off kick ass but there were too many times where it was just a giant WTF moment. Even if the #2 headband was running around hiding like a little bitch, the rules still were suppose to be applied that you cannot fight the #1 without the #2 headband. The ridiculous grudge that Sio held against Afro was unexplained... when you have a revenge story such as this one it would be nice to know a little bit more of a back story of why she would be so pissed off. Also, she more or less just stole the headband and wore it which begs the question if Afro ever got his headband stolen would he really have to go hunt down the #2 so he could then fight the #1 because of his samurai code? I'm pretty sure that would result in one big NO and he would simply cut the person in half, put his headband back on and walk away. Anyways, I loved the RZA's beats and some of the songs but for the most part, specifically towards the end, the song choice ruined the mood and took me out of the anime. It almost seems like they forgot where they left off on the last story and just made this one... which kinda felt like a filler =/ |

I'm pretty sure Sio and those three android people were past members of Afro's Samurai clan, like Jinno and Utsuru, judging by that photo. |

About as good as the series -- Some good aspects mixed in with some bad. |

Oh man, I now see Lucy Liu in a new light. XD For what it was supposed to do, I quite liked it. Though I have to agree with the person a few posts above me that Sio's reasoning behind her actions wasn't really explained all that much. The Spike TV version didn't have as much T&A as the trailer was hinting, sadly. I guess they need to give us some incentive to obtain the Director's Cut. |

I thought it was a litte disappointing. It's good, but no where near as good as the first series. The ending was kinda cheap, the way Afro got revived. Jinno was fricken awesome in this movie though. Looks like Justice is going to return in the next series. Can't wait! Although looks like that random kid is going to have a bigger role in the next series as well. Hope they don't muck that up, becasue he was really annoying so far. Also, to those who are on about Justice appearing at the very end of the first series. I remember reading somewhere that it could have just been a metaphor to express their never ending battle. Either way, I wasn't expecting Justice to be in this movie.

The beginning didn't seem as good as the beginning of the first movie, but it got better and since the music was better as well (not that the music of the first movie was bad), I enjoyed Resurrection overall more than the first movie. Looking forward to more. Ninja Ninja wasn't as funny as in the first season, this time I don't have a 'funny phrase Ninja Ninja said' that I remember. |

ok nice trailer, nice anime and all, but where can i watch resurection? T_T L.E. : Seen it on animeshipuden anyways, the movie lacks, its about 2 points lower tahn then series. The first afro samurai storry was just awsome! :/ But this kinda had no real meaning, it would have been better if it never came out, imo. Modified by Peralisc, 01-26-09, 6:08 PM |

I didn't really like it. I thought the plot was a little too ridiculous. Since when can lightning do that? And didn't this cause plot holes with the original TV series? I thought it was sloppy. Good, but sloppy. |

Oh hey, wait. Didn't Jinno have the #2 Headband in the last episode of the series? How did he lose it? |
