I checked it out last night, I thought it was pretty badass.

That's about all I can say so far since it was only one episode, the soundtrack was really good though, not really the rap though... but yeah.

I love the art style, action scenes, the black samurai, and the rap/hip hop sound that goes with it. I cant wait for the DVD to come out.

I'm always amused with Gonzo's animation.

Although this kind of series isn't really my thing, the only anime I ever get to see on TV is the stuff on YTV. I'll probably watch the next episode.

From what I heard a lot of the cussing was cut but I think I heard a slip up when "shit" got through, because everything before that, despite being less powerful words were cut.

haha do I smell a bunch of black samurai cosplayers at comming cons? :lol:

One thing can be said theres a severe lack of black people in anime, so hard for black people to cosplay believably.

The series doesn't look like it's going to become very deep or anything like that, but so far that doesn't even matter. By the way, language was cut; the trailer has quite a bit of swearing.

I'm definately enjoying this show more with each episode, I especially liked the flashbacks of the last episode. Good to see that Spike is editing the dialogue less now.

I'm lovong this anime. Lil' Afro is vicious. The storyline kinda reminds me of Kenshin a little.
