Afro Samurai

If you already don't know what Afro Samurai is,
it is a short animated tv series that is based on a samurai trying to
 defeat the warrior who killed his father. This series is known to be an 
anachronism, which means that you'll find something out of place in
time. So in afro samurai's case, the show takes place in the future but
you still see old school weapons and rituals used. Personally, I think
that the show Afro Samurai, is one of the coolest videos you can see
today. What makes Afro Samurai so amazing is two things. First, the
fighting in the movie is outstanding. It's filled with intense gory
fighting seens that you and find almost no where else. Secondly, the
way that the plot is structured. It's crazy simple. Take any two
entities that oppose each other, such as good and evil. Then take one
of mans primal instincts, fighting. Fighting is a way to put things
into human tangible form. It's basic tribal instincts. You don't see
animals ever argue, you see them fight. Then, take different ideologies
and embody certain concepts and you see it transformed into martial
arts. In different fights, you'll see someone with a lot of hate and
rage, fight much more aggressively and rip people apart. Then take
someone who is at peace, and is balanced, you'd see them either not
attack as much and be more defensive or wait until the other person
attacks and used the persons momentum and anger against them. Once you
have these to different opponents, they would fight, and then the
winner is superior. That is how people have matched up throughout
history, and that is exactly what you see in Afro Samurai, except,
instead of seeing good and evil, you see two different traits. Greed
and vengeance. So, throughout the movie, you have Afro Samurai, who
wants to take vengeance on the man who was driven by greed to obtain
the number one headband that the samurai's dad obtained. Then, the rest
of the characters also represent greed because all they want is the
number two head band that the afro samurai has, because without the
number two headband, your not allowed to fight the number one. And the
one with the number one headband, is known as a god. That's why so many
people are out for afro samurai, so they can take it, kill the number
one, and become a god (Thus the greed aspect). To have something so
amazing centered around something so simple is mind blowing. That is
why I love the show Afro Samurai so much, and why I think it that
people should defiantly look into it.
