| cant get that good a story on 5 eps only ^^ |
| |
| U can... its just like a short movie =) |
| well in japan you cant :) |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| true enough i guess =P |
| Meh, I was pretty unimpressed with Afro Samurai. The animation looked great and the action scenes were pretty awesome, but the story was awful. And even though they had Samuel L. Jackson as a voice actor, it felt out-of-place. I would've very much preferred it in Japanese with subtitles. I guess a handful of episodes is about right - I doubt the cool action scenes could've carried it much further without a decent plot. |
 |
| Afro Samurai was probably the worst anime I've ever seen. And unlike someone said, short animes CAN be good. |
 |
| I liked it. Wasnt bad, I've seen better, but I've also seen much worse. |
 |
| Yeah, it was alright. I didn't mind it, the only thing that made me go on was the fact that samuel l jackson was really funny as the voices of afro and that other dude. Besides, I like short animes. |
 -Seigi- |
| I thought the anime was alright, it wasn't amazing or anything but it wasn't bad. Had some great animation with some nice fights, nothing too memorable about them but they were still good. |
  |
| I thought it was pretty decent for a 5 episode samurai anime. I'm surprised that so many people consider it terrible. I mean, you couldn't really have expected to be anything more than bloody, well-animated sword fights could you? |
 |
| It was awesome, english voice didn't suck because there vas SAMUEL L. MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON, animation kicked ass and story didn't have unnecessary things. |
| The action was pretty cool, but the story was bad. What's with monks, damn it?! |
 |
| one of the worst anime i seen so far, good animation cant make me forget the lack of story or sense |
 |
| Basically this anime was never intended for Japan. It was made for USA and it was never voiced in Japanese. I just feel pity for those people who can`t turn their brain off. |
   |
| Mindless violence...part of American culture I say! The action scenes more than made up for the lack of story in my book. Knowing beforehand the "story" of Afro Samurai, I wasn't really expecting much out of it other than random acts of badassery! xD |
| Besides the character of Justice, voiced by the amazing Perlman, I really did not like this anime. I found Samurai Champloo to be far superior in every area. |

| mindless violence as opposed to mindless sex and nude chicks? i thought this anime was good. for a 5 episode show i cant expect more. ultimately the is alteast one thing that is bound to impress someone, either the sex the violence or the story. if a show has alteast one of those that is good or exceptional, then its a good show. |

Bingo. What more can you expect from a 5 episode show? I mean they really can't fit THAT much stuff into it, and I think they did a good job with their circumstances. |
 |
| Well I'm glad I'm not the only one that immediately dismissed this wretched excuse of an anime as one of the worst ever released. American influence should stay away from anime (unless Wachowskis are involved *cough*) |

 |
| I liked it. It's good to watch something with less story now and then. It was quite enterteining because of the awesome action. Soundtrack and animation were good too. 7/10 |
| I personally liked the anime, for a short anime the action was so good and the plot was as some would say relevant, this really was not made about the plot it was made for the action and the kick ass voice of SAMUEL.L. JACKSON!! Did not like the hentai bit though, I hate that sort of stuff its disgusting!!! |
| i thought that it was great animation wise, the story wasn't the best but hey it's only 5 eps long was else do you want from it. Also i have a question was that girl he fucked the girl from his childhood or was she just a random girl who was sent to get information from him? |
| Liked the series, although it really did lack a story. But I can tollerate that for 5 eps. |
     |
| All my friends love this but i just don't get what so amazing about it. The story is weak, the action is okay, other than that theres nothing really standing out about it. Ninja Ninja was one of the most annoying characters i've seen and until i read about his character after he seemed completely pointless. The transisitions from scene to scene were also very messy, maybe they were trying to be original but it jus didn't work. 4/10 |

| DAMN! Seriously, I wanted to see best anime fulfilled with phylosophy, so I watched NGE through an' through. I wanted to see best action anime with nice plot, so I picked Black Lagoon. Best SF action plot? Cowboy Bebop, obviously. And we have Afro Samurai. From what I just read, you guys mostly don't read re-freakin'-views before watching. This one is simply the BEST, if you wanna see TONS of blood and TONS of swearing. And I'd underline the second, 'cause we can see blood almost everywhere, but swearing in Afro is just epic. Seriously, almost everytime when Jackson curses, it's so damn hilarious and badass that you simply kneel in awe. WHO CARES ABOUT A STORY?! It was about cursing, smashing and nakedness, ffs. When you watched Rambo or Die Hard; when you played Diablo, you expected freakin' Plato, Kant or Confucius in background? :P |
 |
| To be honest the fights weren't that good, which is why it at least needed a semi-good story. But yeah, i guess it's good for some people, oh well. |
|
| Well afro samurai is cool im mean being black it is cool to see that in anime but the truthe is the story sucked....i mean the fights and animation was great but again it is not the worst or the best it is just there. |
| I dropped it after the first ten minutes. Y'know you can have great action and a great plot, look at Ghost In The Shell. |
