I recently came upon the new Afro Samurai DVD set of the whole series unedited.
and let me tell you...it's not worth 10bux more that the other one. lol
i mean it's off the hook, don't get me wrong, but the shit that they edited is no big deal.
unless you want a couple more "mothafuckas" or some tig o'l bitties, i don't see a reason to buy it...other than the extras like the behind the scenes shit.
but honestly, it was OK, but not spectacular. i give the series a 9/10, but this set is about a 7/10.
the box is nice though. :]
7/10

Highlander
So the new Higlander anime is out. i picked it up while lookin around Wal-Mart. So let me fill you in on this experience:
So it starts off pretty sweet. animation is top notch for an OVA, but what can you expect from Kawajiri-san. The eginning fights are tight and so are the fights throughout the movie.
It's odd seeing anime animated for english speaking voices...it kinda doesn't even really feel like an anime. regardless, it's some good shit. the voices aren't too bad. that little black kid i wanted shot though. lol
But the main character, Colin, although he has depth i guess...he seems pretty hardheaded and stupid. badass, but stupid. it takes him over 200 years to figure out a purpose in life? nice goin. but what can you expect from those irishmen. lol you even see him drinkin in the anime. a whole bottle of whiskey. haha i found it racially hilarious.
that's another thing about this movie, it's unintentionally funny, but funny nonetheless. so i'd give this movie about a 8.5 outta 10.
there's apparently a director's cut coming soon, so i'll review that when it comes. apparently kawajiri-san didn't like the american cut...hmmm? are we missing alot? i guess we'll have to see...
8.5/10
