Well, it's over. I have fun watching this show but the story could be better. At least it wasn't good or anything but it wasn't bad. 5/10 for the anime.

Weird ending as most old anime movies, still pretty enjoyable stuff here so I can't complain too much the animation was really good for that time. 7/10

People who go into this expecting an overly well written or serious plot or characters are... A special breed. It's a 5 episodes long anime called "Afro Samurai".. And in the first few minutes there's cell phones and RPGs...

To me this pretty much succeeded in what it set out to. It was a super silly, super badass, well animated, samurai action flick with Samuel Jackson and hip hop. I think it was pretty clear that they were making a conscious effort not to stray from clichés and general cheesyness here, for the sake of just having fun with them and being entertaining. My biggest complaints are that I was kind of hoping for a bit more in terms of the music, it felt a bit dead at certain parts, or it's that there just wasn't enough use of it to enhance certain scenes, and I also feel a few of the action scenes were a bit too much of an animation/cut clusterfuck to make sense of. At least with the kind of muted color palette this show had. Oh and Ninja Ninja's whole bit really didn't do much for me sadly, and those brothers(?? forget their names) ended up being really disappointing for just how much of the show they were featured in. Was hoping for a bit more of an epic battle there than what we got. Though Afro robot was sick.

This is probably the third time I've watched this series, but it's still pretty dope. Cool, stylish, and gory.

The aesthetics for the battle between Afro and Justice was pretty cool. Sort of reminded me of Bloodborne.

Can't expect Much from 5 epiosde series but it was pretty fun to watch , especially epiosde 2 wink wink , but the ending was a bit rushed for that epiosde anyway the fights where pretty cool,


The legend Sam L Jackson made the series for me well it was the prime reason I watched it in the first place


Would like to know how the number 1 could Regenerate or as he put it became a "god"


I'll watch the movie eventually

I absolutely loved the OST, animation, art and fights so imo it was a really good anime, I just wish it was longer.

This series was pretty good. A little too violent for me, but good nonetheless. Been a long time since I watched it.

An ok ending, I really expected more. I think the battle should have been a lot more exciting, difficult and lasting than it was.
I didn't understand the meaning of this Time Skip that happened, maybe it's related to one of the two movies it has.

It’s nothing great but it’s good fun for 5 episodes. strong start, goat animation, and solid voice actors but falls off in the latter half. plot is weirdly arranged.

I was planning to watch this short show for quite a long time, but I always knew that there isn't much to expect

This just shouldve been 10-12 episodes to properly be able to establish any interesting plot and characters, now instead we got a rush to dissapointment, and what a shame, it couldve really been something way more unique and epic than we have here. Animation quality and enemy potential was definitely there but the way they were butchered (old dudes were literaly done with in 1 goddamn episode) and final fight felt like a letdown at parts.

I think this really couldve been something unique, Samuel L Jacksons voice acting was very good and the uses of music works very nice too for the whole theme of the show, but sadly we will never be able to see what this couldve truly been and the score here on MAL reflects on that.

Weak plot fillied with ultra murder violence.

A goofy show that tries to take itself too seriously.

If you're going to watch it - watch it for the gratuitous amount of gore, sound track or for the memes.

If youre going in to watch for character developement and plot you're going to be sorely disappointed.

I dont write posts but god damn did I hate watch this show

I think I realized last ep that his buddy was just his imagination.

But overall a 6.5, but I'll round it to a 7.
Cool battles, cool setting, great music and cast. Just half the time it was kinda boring.

Never actually realised that Otsuru was the girl and lady wild. Nice climax with the fight with the gun guy. I actually thought Afro had died. I personally like the bear fight more though. I'll probable watch the sequel movie next.

NINJA NINJA!!! NOOOOOOO!!! HE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN AN IMAGINARY PERSON??? WHAT????? May Ninja Ninja RIP. He was the goat that made this show so enjoyable....

His death aside though lol, was pretty obvious how this finale was gonna turn out. Fro finally kills Justice and takes back the headband yadda yadda.

For what it was, this did what it needed to do and did it's thing. Was an enjoyable ride that I think doesn't really need a sequel, so I won't watch the movie because this is a good enough ending for me.

And one last RIP for Ninja Ninja 🫡
