Afro Samurai: Resurrection
Trailer:
Synopsis: A lone samurai (voiced by Samuel L Jackson) living in sort-of feudal-but-also-highly-futuristic Japan is attacked by a lady with insurmountable breasts (voiced by Lucy Liu, who I had actually forgotten existed) who steals his father's corpse so she can grow a clone of said father and make the titular Afro battle his already-dead father to the death to take revenge on him for mutilating her now semi-undead cyborg brother which somehow also caused the rest of her family to become mutilated and part-cyborg. The stoic, determined Afro must go on a journey in which he murders the shit out of absolutely everyone for any/no reason whilst constantly conversing with his imaginary friend and piecing together the mystery of who is out to get him and why. This is accomplished largely by murdering the shit out of everyone some more.
The good: The animation is stunning and the fight scenes are wonderfully gory, Samuel L Jackson.
The bad: The plot is so convoluted that despite constant exposition I have no idea why anyone does anything in this film. Said convoluted exposition makes the run-time feel at least twice as long as it actually is.
Overall: 3/10
