Afro Samurai: Resurrection
Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Last week, Spike TV premiered “Afro Samurai: Resurrection,” the long-awaited sequel to the 2007 animated hit, “Afro Samurai.”
In a few words: it was (once again) brilliant!
For those of you who’ve missed out on the first round:
In a feudal yet futuristic Japan, there is a “Number One” headband – the possessor of which lives as a warrior demigod. The only person who can challenge the Number One is the person with the Number Two headband . . . and anyone can challenge the Number Two. Samuel L. Jackson is the voice of Afro Samurai, a warrior bent on making his way to the Number One to avenge his father’s death. In the sequel (look out, giving a few things away), Afro Samurai has to regain his title by facing the vengeance of several defeated allies . . . including his resurrected father.
The Music Score:
