Movie Reviews of Afro Samurai (Director's Cut)Movie Review: The director's cut is well worth it!
I watched Afro Samurai on Spike TV back in January when they first aired the edited episodes. I was thrilled when I found out they were releasing a director's cut of the production with an extended ending since I could not get over how bland the show felt on TV. For those of you who thought that Afro Samurai was a rushed anime and no real substance, well the director's cut of the show fixes a lot of it. Spike TV not only cut out the mature content but ended up cutting the scenes to make room for a half hour time lapse. In my opinion the director's cut of Afro adds depth to the characters. The picture and sound are restored to their intended form creating a beautiful anime. Aside from the features, yes many have commented that Afro the character lacks in personality with his jabber of a sidekick Ninja Ninja filling in his dialogue. His character is a scarred being and his sidekick is his only mental expression. Consider the story of Afro going through life as a boy pulled out of innocence and straight into the world of killing. The anime is for people who are willing to look closer at the content. In the end it has many redeemable qualities with characters and story handled with a mixture of old feudal Japan and modern future culture. It is also a story about how revenge comes between the good in you life and how power cannot exist in your life unless you destroy it. Afro Samurai is an imaginative story, with unusual, likable characters thought up by Takashi Okasaki. For those of you who are planning on watching it for the first time get the complete director's cut anime.
