 Afro Samurai |
Watch |
Based on a doujinshi written by Takashi Okazaki in the late 90's, Afro Samurai is a creative collaboration between Samuel L. Jackson, Takashi Okazaki and the Japanese animation company Gonzo, a division of GDH, with the intentions of creating an anime series for US and Japanese markets. Scheduled to premiere on Spike TV (a US cable station). With the Academy Award-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson already signed on to co-produce and to do the lead character's voice, this is a first in a potentially interesting trend. |

Rent | Set in a mideval time, the Yoma (demons) have been feeding upon the humans. They have become so skilled that when they feed upon a person completely, they can assume the form, mannerisms, and memories of the people they kill. This allows them to blend into society where they cannot be found. Whenever these Yoma appear the Claymore follow. This is a group of young girls dressed in armor and sporting large 'Claymore' swords. Their job is to hunt down and kill all of these Yoma. Half Human and Half Yoma, these 'girls' only live to kill demons. Possessing super speed, strength, and healing abilities, they hunt down Yoma for any village that can pay the price. |
