Afro Samurai


A Black samurai goes on a mission to avenge the wrongful death of his father in a futuristic feudal Japan.
Afro Samurai delivers slick action, stylish animation, and over-the-top gore wrapped in a hip-hop-infused world that oozes cool. The fight choreography and soundtrack give it a unique edge that still holds up today. However, the series’ biggest flaw is its length—at only five episodes, it rushes through its story and character development, leaving you wanting more depth behind the bloodshed. It’s fun while it lasts, but it ends just as it starts to get interesting.
