Afro Samurai, adapted from Takashi Okazaki’s acclaimed manga, follows a lone samurai seeking vengeance while battling for control of the coveted Number 1 headband—legendary for its promise of god-like powers and immortality. To possess it, one must defeat its current owner, with only the Number 2 headband wearer permitted to challenge.
Originally animated by the renowned studio Gonzo in 2007 and featuring the voice talent of a prominent actor, the series quickly achieved cult classic status thanks to its dynamic and violent animation style, accompanied by a unique score.
Resurrection, released in 2009, continues Afro’s journey and adds depth with an extended Director’s Cut that includes more behind-the-scenes documentaries, interviews, and insights into the associated video game released in the same year.
For fans interested in exploring the original manga, a two-volume box set recently released is currently available for $25, discounted from its original price of $40.
Stay tuned for the November 12 launch of Afro Samurai – The Complete Series and Resurrection, reviving this legendary tale for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
