Afro Samurai Movie

As I have seen the Afro Samurai series first, I can easily see that Afro Samurai the Movie is not only an adaptation of the series, it is in fact pretty much the same thing. If you take away the openings and endings you no longer have any difference between them 😊.

But all in all, I see some good points in watching the movie instead of the series. To begin with, for someone who does not like interruption, you can see the whole story without having to change from one episode to another. It also helps you dive better in the atmosphere, building ... stronger impressions.

Afro Samurai’s resolve to avenge his father’s death is continually challenged in his heart while pondering over what happened in his life, good and bad. And this, combined with the tragedy of the characters affected by his decisions, gave me a long-lasting feeling of emotional languor and sadness, which I haven’t experienced during the series. However, it was a meaningful sensation as I felt it conveyed better the message of the story.

You wanted to watch brutal sword fights with heavy HIP-HOP beats in backround?? Here you go, Afro Samurai is must watch anime movie for you.There is small suprise in in it,we got f.cking Samuel
L. Jackson as voiceactor of main character,finally he is in every movie genre.
Plot isn't something new, we can see story of Afro trying to revenge his father and be The Number one.On his road to revenge have to overcome many obstacles in form of fighs .BTW those fight scenes are well made,overall art in this movie is good,kinda dark mooded ,the way i like it.Soundtrack is fitting, fight mood have ... heavier sound and chill scenes have more funky/jazzy music in backround.I had problem with dub,it's like they want 1 good fitting voice and others are bad in my opinion,good one is Samuel.Also i don't know why,but there are loot of same characters in enemy lines,not main ones but those random guys who get killed in one slice on Afro's katana.Overall it's decent movie,personally i enjoyed it. 7/10

PROS:
+Samuel L. Jackson
+Nice art
+Good Soundtrack
+Well coordinated fights

CONS:
-Dub
-Repetetive characters

The Film is about a women named Lady Sio, stealing the Number 1 headband so Afro has to try get it back.

The film is mostly filled with violence and just poor dialogue. It has the stereotypical dialogue you would expect from an 'action movie'. The movie was also quite enjoyable, but not as much as the original series. The storytelling is quite basic though, so don't expect anything surprising to happen.

The Animation is very good. As expected. The music is also is top notch. RZA has done really well.

I would recommend this anime movie to people who want more of ... Afro Samurai, but if you didn't really like the series then there is no need to watch this.
