The first episode I thought was very well done, with an excellent first 10 or so minutes. I'm hoping that we'll be seeing more of Justice in the coming episodes and not have to wait until the last one.
Probably the biggest disappointment for me is that there are only going to be 5 episodes.
Episode 2 was pretty disappointing and pretty much acknowledged that Afro Samurai's story isn't going any better than the typical run-of-the-mill anime. Still, I can imagine this episode being a lot better had the show been just a movie and things immediately moved on.
Spoiler:
The flashbacks were mostly lame, aside from the first one where Afro gets his ass beat. How he gains his skills all of a sudden also seemed poorly explained, and they should've at least have had him grow up to be a teenager before kicking ass to make it more believable.
I was also not a fan of the sex scene. Thankfully it was short, because it was just pointless to me and felt like an excuse to have sex such as in a hentai movie other than something meaningful. I felt bad for Kelly Hu, especially that her character dies right afterwards... It also made Afro seem less noble and bad ass a character in my opinion, having been baited into having sex so easily.
And ya Shenlon i totally agree with you; afro samurai is like a visual treat but not much else. Maybe it's all the commercials stopping the flow of the show but SOMETHING about it just makes me not interested.
I'd have to agree as well. The story is pretty weak aside from the cool idea of the headbands and expensive visuals. The commercials also really got in the way. I might end up just downloading the episodes the day after to better enjoy them without the commercials.
Does anybody else think that ninja ninja might not exist? I mean seriously think about it. He might just be a manifestation of afro's thoughts. Like so far in the story it would totally fit; right?
That seems possible actually, nobody else ever seems to notice him. We've also had no back story about their relationship so far either.
