Don't mess with #1!
This is one of my favorite anime shows. Great animation and samurai action!
If you could compare the original Afro Samurai to a innovative new game, Resurrection is more of an expansion pack than a sequel. It opens up with a cliched depowering of the hero Afro and rehashes the original's plot with some twists. The quality of the animation is superb as well as the art. The music is good, but doesn't seem to be as good of an effort as the first one. Afro really doesn't go through any significant character development and by the end of the movie is right back where he was at the end of the last movie. Its fun for a rental but I regret buying it. Make sure you watch till the end of the credits for a teaser scene.
The one great season, well scripted and carried out anime series deserved a movie. The saga continues with more Afro Samurai, conflict, drama, comedy and action. Must have. Excellent soundtrack!
