"Afro Samurai: Resurrection" - Talkback [1/25] (Spoilers)

[Camo13ammo]

The sequel to 2007's best selling anime title airs tonight at 10 PM Eastern on Spike TV. Instead of another mini-series, we get a two-hour movie that chronicles the events after the five episode series(or it could be four episodes that Spike corabined together to make into a movie. Who knows).

Not to give away the plot too much, it involves Afro losing his nuraber one headband to another fighter. Who is it and how will he get it back? You have to tune in tonight to find out.

The movie will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on February 3rd. It will be released in two versions: a Spike TV version and an unrated Director's Cut version. I'm also sure that the iTunes version will be the unrated Director's Cut(since that's what the mini-series was uploaded with). The Afro Samurai video game and the soundtrack to this movie will be released January 27th.

Also, the five episode mini-series will rerun after the movie enRAB, so for those who haven't seen it yet, here's your chance.

 

[flapjacks is fun]

Hmm,The movie isn't a prequel so it would have made more sense to show the five episode mini series before the movie. Maybe they couldn't start the mini series around 7:30pm for some reason.

 

[Monica]

I'm already on it right after American Dad.

 

[softballbabe0034]

I'll watch for the amazing visuals, but I'm hoping there's a bit more substance to the plot this time around.

 

[Racas]

ITS COMINNGGGG
AFRO SAMURAI RESURRECTION is COMING!

 

[Elibby]

I'm digging that new opening.

 

[delaneyy !_!]

so not digging the torture ^_^
i'm surprised at Jinno.

hmm i didn't know Afro buried his fathers body.
this based on him carrying his fathers skull around.

 

[Frankenstien]

Wow, he didn't kill those villagers. That's a first.

 

[Just Dance(:]

Maybe this is just me, but Ninja Ninja seems to be funnier in this than in what I saw of the miniseries.

 

[fireflyfan_2008]

So..
Sio is Jinno's Sister......

 

[CobraKitNu]

Even money says the Samurai father is the guy with the #2 headband.

 

[chgog]

No way he'll kill him.
NO WAY he could do it.
It'd way to much on his conscious.

 

[<Jelz>]

Wait, I thought she died in the first series...

 

[Naveen]

I give them credit for the homage to Lone Wolf and Cub, and they even manage to tie it into the main theme of the series itself.

 

[adriii]

Well.
We never saw her.
Okiku was only like their adopted Sister.

 

[livelove123]

I like the pace of this, it's slightly slower than the first series.

How the heck did Ninja Ninja open the door?!

 

[mic the cat]

I can't believe I forgot about it. Will we be seeing an encore?

 

[luminortm]

it's kill bill all over again

 

[tkj1991]

He could, and he did.

 

[Skyler--That Grey Box]

lol @ afro song

-i feel slightly sorry for that other guy. then there is the kid, who likely or unlikely - go after Afro as he ages.

-just because they rebuilt his father's skull...it doesn't mean it's him
