Default Re: afro samurai - spoilers

okay , i think im getting over the top. i always put my stuf in the wrong place at the forum. so i will correct that and give you people info
about the manga that started it all , afro samurai (i did a wiki on it )

Afro Samurai (アフロサムライ) is a Japanese dōjinshi manga series created by Takashi Okazaki, originally featured in the NOU NOU HAU [2] dōjin magazine. It was adapted into a 5-episode anime television series directed by Fuminori Kizaki and produced by Japanese animation studio GONZO. The first episode was shown online on January 1, 2007 and premiered on Spike TV on January 4, 2007 on at 11:00pm EST. The anime series has since gone on to air in the UK, where it premiered on Adult Swim on May 4, 2007[2], and Japan, where it was broadcast on Fuji Television. It will also premiere on MTV in Australia in August 2007.[3]

it was a dojinshi ! now state that a dojinshi cant get famous ? then your wrong.

The anime series features noted American actor Samuel L. Jackson as the voice of the titular character, as well as one of the co-producers, and also features Ron Perlman and Kelly Hu as character voices. Wu-Tang Clan member RZA produced the original hip hop musical score,[3] which was released on compact disc by Koch Records on January 30, 2007 in both uncut and edited versions. The series was also licensed for North American distribution by Funimation, who released two versions: a SpikeTV version and an unrated directors cut on DVD. Both were released on May 22, 2007. In August 2005, Japan-based game developers Namco announced they would be releasing Afro Samurai related video games in both Japan and America.[4]

The cost of each episode is estimated at one million dollars[5], which is a record for GONZO.

There are plans to produce a live-action Afro Samurai movie, also starring Samuel L. Jackson as the title character[6], although production has not yet begun.

A video game adaptation of the series has been announced and will be released on the Xbox 360. [7]
