The one thing about Afro Samurai is that it's presented well. Visuals are incredible at some parts and keep you glued to the screen. Soundtrack is also very good.
The thing it lacks however are the most important aspects, story for one is not there. Well, lets say it's bare-bones at best. Characters aren't really that interesting or identifiable either.
However it is a fairly reasonable anime to watch for enjoyment. Be stunned by the visuals but don't rage over the lack of plot too much. It'll just bite you on the ass.
