Afro Samurai: Resurrection (2009)
Afro Samurai: Resurrection is a continuation on the well-known anime series Afro Samurai. Well-known since it was a high-budget production with hollywood voice actors. I.e. not your regular japanese cast and style. Samuel L. Jackson is one of the main voice actors in the first series. So also in this movie.
One thing that makes Afro Samurai stand out from other animes (except the english voice-acting) is its stylistic scenery. There’s a lot of cool fighting-scenes with a lot of gore. There is this japanese samurai culture intermixed with rap culture, fat beats and modern technology. You get all this in one piece.
For the story, well… this afro samurai (which is exactly what it sounds like he is) is on the hunt for a bandana. There are the number one bandana and the number two bandana. The one holding the number two bandana may challenge the one holding the number one bandana. Of course our main main Afro Samurai holds the number one bandana since he kicks so much ass.
Then there comes this bitch with a hot ass and big tits and steals the bandana from him. So now he’s gotta go and fetch the number two bandana so he can challenge her and win the number one bandana back. (Don’t ask me why he wants it. Something about avenging his father, but to me it just looks like a good excuse to bring a fistfull of carnage for our viewing pleasure. I do not complain).
You got first class action, great voice acting with really good dialogue, kickass music, beautiful scenery and viewtastic fighting scenes (in 1080p nevertheless!).
You can’t call yourself a real man unless you see Afro Samurai. And love it. Cause I know you will.
