Afro Samurai

So they show more violence and gore than anything from Adult Swim (not counting non-anime fare like Metalocalypse), but they felt the need to censor even the most common swears ("son of a ___"). At least one "shit" was snuck in.

Also, I called it.

Spoiler:

The wisecracking partner is an imaginary friend for Afro, a la Tyler Durden.

Come on, no way none of those villains would resist the urge to kill someone that annoying.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I find it slightly disturbing how the samurai characters are all seen openly smoking blunts. The excessive violence is controversial enough, but an animation visually stating that "drugs are cool" is bound to piss off certain individuals.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Who plays the white gunslinger with the liver spots? He sounds an awful lot like Bill, of Kill Bill (though that might be intentional).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Quote:

I've never seen Kill Bill, and I don't remember anybody with that description (was he one of the guys during the first fight sequence with Afro?).

It's the dude who killed Afro's father. I think his name is Justice or something. Anyway, he's the main bad guy (most likely).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Already mentioned that theory in the first page. The way he popped out of nowhere in this episode nearly confirms my beliefs.

And yeah, I don't know how they're getting away with the excessive gore and moaning sex.

I was speaking idiomatically.
