Quote :: Afro Samurai (アフロサムライ, Afuro Samurai?) is a Japanese dōjinshi manga series created by Takashi Okazaki, originally featured in the NOU NOU HAU dōjin magazine. The anime series features noted American actor Samuel L. Jackson as the voice of the titular character and his sidekick, as well as one of the co-producers, and also features Ron Perlman and Kelly Hu as character voices. Wu-Tang Clan member RZA produced the original hip hop musical score, which was released on compact disc by Koch Records on January 30, 2007 in both uncut and edited versions.

Quote :: A new movie (referred to as "Afro Samurai: Resurrection") was aired on Spike TV on January 25, 2009 at 10PM. The DVD will be released some time in February . Takashi Okazaki said in the new season Afro "loses his way, gets tired of all the killing" and he "wakes up to his destiny, which is to be the world's number one warrior." Afro battles with an alluring female warrior named Sio (voiced by Lucy Liu) who is the sister of Jinnosuke/Kuma and has uncovered Rokutaro's skeleton and plans on resurrecting him to kill Afro. Mark Hamill voiced Sio's manservant/protector Bin while Yuri Lowenthal reprised his role as Kuma. A trailer can be seen on the Afro Samurai website and a sneak peek is available at Spike.com. Justice's appearance at the end of Resurrection suggests the possibility of a third installment, but no official statement has been made as of yet.
