Afro Samurai: BET Is a Disease
I've ignored Afro Samurai for quite some time. I saw part of an episode and it didn't seem too bad. However, I actually sat down and watched episode one and I don't see how it avoided a ridiculous level of criticism. Just how some people in the United States probably watch too much anime. The creator clearly has watched FAR too much BET. The dubbing doesn't help at all. It's a careful blend of weaboo and professional ghettoism (if that's even possible). Hiring actual voice actors to speak as if they don't know proper English.
I've lost respect for Gonzo and more importantly, Samuel L. Jackson. What the hell was anyone thinking? Man, this show sucks. The only good quality is that Gonzo did it. Which means the animation, especially during the action scenes, is awesome.
Did anyone of you watch Afro Samurai? Am I the only one upset by this show?
