THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I didn't know that Afro Samurai had such a kick-ass pilot. Takeshi Koike is Tha Man!

And what a remarkable choice of Rap songs: CYNE-400 Years, Gang Starr-Next Time and N.E.R.D.-Run To The Sun

The stanza "Just look what the world made me, enslaved me, but at the end yo what the F is gonna save me" from CYNE manages to capture Afro's bloody fate

This was awesome, one of the best 3 minute pilots I've seen.
I probably regret this post by now.

Glad some people got to see this. When I joined MyAnimeList i searched to see if this was on here, and seeing that it wasn't I >HAD< to suggest it.

Okazaki, Koike and MADHOUSE had such an interesting vision for this series and this pilot really packs it up very neatly and delivers it all at the same time. Stylized violence, anachronistic elements working together very nicely and great music.

Shoutouts to LeSean Thomas also, for showing this to a lot of people for the first time.

Koike.... what a badass. The opening segment is still my favorite.
