In a futuristic vision of Feudal Japan, Afro Samurai (voiced by Samuel L Jackson) travels the lonely landscape with the intention of executing the brutal warrior responsible for his father’s death. Afro Samurai was inspired by Manga creator Okazaki’s love of American soul and hip hop music, an aesthetic which underpins this highly entertaining 5-episode television series.
