It looks nice so I hope the gameplay is entertaining. I wasn't sure what to make of the anime to be honest. It was quite good but I felt it paled next to Samurai Champloo. Personal opinion of course :)

And seriously, just saying "First" in a post just leads to the ignore list, resulting in your no longer being first on my screen at least :)

At the very least go back and say something about the article!

People that complain about other poeple writing "first" need pespective.

And just because you ignore someone doesn't make them any less first you know. Talk about self centred ;)

I loved the series, though the Sam jackson voice sidekick was really annoying at times.
love how they've translated the visuals of the anime to the game.
definately on my watch list.

..but, TriggerHippie, I loved you!

I need to learn that the internets is serious business. Dang. I will forever regret my first, and last, first in Ignore-hell.

Now, please, may I be ignored..

I thought the anime was good, but Samurai Champloo was better in every regard.

Afro Samurai is awesome. Hopefully they'll keep Samuel L Jackson's character in it :)

"The Number One headband can only be challenged by the owner of the Number Two headband. The Number Two headband can be challenged by anyone."

it has been a couple years since i've seen it, but i'm pretty much sure number two had to be challenged by number three, number three by number four and so on..

also don't compare samurai champloo to afro samurai, please. they're like two different leagues... different sports even.

how do you know if you've been put on ignore though?
I wonder if I've ever been annoying or of enough consequence to be ignored....

@ZuluHero:

It depends. I know alot of anime fans that don't like it. I loved it and I usually hate anime. It's so non-sensical that I was able to just groove on the funky, funky style and not get distracted on the "plot". Stylistically, its a trip. Equal parts medival Japanese, hip-hop, 70's American Blacxploitation cinema, and futuristic technology . . . it's just damn wierd. But Afro does some serious cutting!

Yeah, the whole point is that, barring getting revenge on his father's killer, Afro doesn't actually want to kill anyone. He just gets all the crap because every wannabe hard nut on the planet is after his number two headband.

I'm slowly being drawn into the world of Afro Samurai, will probably give this game a go, and the Anime a watch. Really liking how you can dismember virtually anypart of their body at any angle.

Half an ear or a full ear sir?
