Afro Samurai Screenshots
pinksage | 5:30 PM on 06.05.2008 25 comments




There is no man like Samuel L Jackson. From eating people’s burgers, fighting motherfucking snakes on a plane to having his own beer -- He has done it all (almost). Afro Samurai is an anime that stars Samuel L. Jackson and create some buzz since its debut last year. When a product is popular, we like to milk it. How? With original marketing ideas that has never been done – like a videogame.
Though, I admit these screenshots make the game seem like a quality title and not a last minute project given to the elves in the Bandai basement to be created by end of day along with a batch of cookies. The art style is very reminiscent of the Naturo games they have released and it makes me wonder if they will use the same fighting system. This game will OF COURSE be on Xbox 360, because honestly, why else would I blog about it? ;]

I'm gangster and I stole these screenshots.

Never really watched the show, but I'm interested just because of that dismembering system alone.

The show was fantastic and the game will be on the PS3 as well. From the clips I've seen this is very different that the Naruto game.

Holy crap!

I never knew this was going to become a game! I hope it's sweet as I really liked the anime.

Is that a movie or more episdoes? I know there's meant to be a live action film starring Jackson as the Afro of course.

Anyway the trailer for this was looking pretty sweet, hopefully the gameplay will live up to it. The show was great, but too short!

I liked the show the little I got to see of it. The dismembering system looks interesting but I absolutely love the art style if it looks that good while playing. :) Thanks for the screenshots! <3

I am getting this game for sure. I wonder if it will have decent online play. That seems to be what these games usually lack -- good online play.

Some kick arse action, but the series as a whole left me a bit.. meh.

Considering it came out a while ago, and the game wasn't released within the first month of it airing like movie tie-ins do, this may not be a total crock-o-shit

I do believe that picture of her playing the drums doesn't quite do her justice, so I hear.

As an afro connoisseur, I for one am anticipating this video game with great enthusiasm.

Where exactly is that guy bleeding from? Also I'm a bit wary of an anime that features a random celebrity for no discernible reason.

Full body wax is very full.

When are they remaking ALF, by the way? It's gotta be time to start raping my childhood again.

should be fun. i doubt that if there is a multiplayer component it'll be phenomenal, but one can always hope.

gotta admit, the anime was full of win and high ass quality animation. If I remember correctly it was the only anime to ever surpass how much it cost to make compared to Akira.

and it was in english, so im sure the game will be in english as well... come on Samuel L Jackson! GET THIS GODDAM SNAKES OF THIS GODDAM PLANE!
