Afro Samurai

i just bought the Afro Samurai comics..they have i think two volumes of it out now..i bought them both..its a very interesting story..and like everyone knows it was just made into a game

i havnt played the game yet..which isnt cool..ive been looking for it everywhere..even the local gamestops dont have them for the 360? which is odd

but from what i can tell from what i have seen from the quick look on giant bomb and other videos they stayed very true to the comics..the comics have fight after fight..which move along very fast which is great for games..well at least for me..i like when the pace of a game is fast

and it is also a tv show..which i havnt watched cause i never know when its on..i dont know what they do for Afro in the game and tv show..cause in the comics he never talks!! i have read the first volume and he says i think 3 total words

i am really stoked to get this game now..i was kinda interested before..but after reading some of the comics i am now wanting to go buy it right now

if anyone is on the edge of weather or not to get this game..i really think you should read the comics..they are very cheap..for the first two volumes it was only $23..the story is very simple and not hard to get lost in..i cant say much for the game cause i havnt played it..but if its like the comics..it should be epic

Oh wow, I wasn't aware that the manga had actually been brought overseas. I'm very aware of the series' popularity overseas, but I thought the manga wouldn't ever come since it's very rare for doujin stuff to actually get official translations. That said, now I might have to go order these for myself....

The manga is great, but the show is where it's at. It's my favorite anime ever. It's even better then the manga, because Okazaki worked directly with the directors and Samuel Jackson. The game is a solid 6.5.

I didn't know they brought it overseas either. I got Afro Samurai: Resurrection but haven't watched it yet. It converts all wrong into mp4 so I have to watch it on my computer. You gotta love Samuel L Jackson! XD

Definately go and rent the first season. Netflix has it, and its all on one disc so it shouldnt be too hard. It was fun stuff. While Afro himself doesn't talk much, his "buddy" as you probably know, talks non-stop. Jackson voices both characters.
