Afro Samurai

Shorter anime series that caricature an existing genre (samurai/secret agent) by dialing up the absurdity and character-quirks. The stories revolve around a chase for a coveted object that the protagonist is especially interested in, and ends up fighting against a range of enemies who have ridiculous but powerful weapons/abilities.
