Synopsis

After obtaining the Number One headband, which proclaims him to be the best of all warriors, Afro spends most of his days in peace, though his nightmare-filled nights are not so tranquil. His life crescendos into chaos once again when Jinno and Sio, his former friends from long ago, take the headband from him, as well as the remains of his father. Challenged by Sio to don the Number Two headband again and exact revenge on them for their actions, Afro embarks on another journey as the wearer of said headband—an item for which anyone would kill him.

Afro Samurai: Resurrection follows Afro as he fights a second series of battles against all manner of foes, wading through the sea of corpses in his wake so that he may once again quench his never-ending thirst for revenge.

Afro Samurai series as a whole got amazing art style, incredible animation and superb direction... also motherf*cking Samuel L. Jackson!

Overall Afro Samurai is a really enjoyable visual experience - if you turn your brain off.

Blah blah blah character count limit blah blah blah.
There is not any other important point to make here ...

If you appreciate the original and desire more of its stylish, intense action, as well as a hint of violence and flair, then you will be motivated to watch this.

When I watched the series I thought it was an okay series with nothing really sticking with me, but I still enjoyed myself nonetheless with it. However when I watched this movie I was puzzled with the choices they made with the film and ended up heavily disliking the movie.

The story follows Afro and he goes after Sio and Jinno his old childhood friends after they steal both his no1 headband and his father's body. So as a result Afro goes across the land to get his father's body back and his no1 headband back. Without the first half Afro wants to stay his ...
