As I have seen the Afro Samurai series first, I can easily see that Afro Samurai the Movie is not only an adaptation of the series, it is in fact pretty much the same thing. If you take away the openings and endings you no longer have any difference between them 😊. But all in all, I see some good points in watching the movie instead of the series. To begin with, for someone who does not like interruption, you can see the whole story without having to change from one episode to another. It also helps you dive better in the atmosphere, buildingstronger impressions.

Afro Samurai’s resolve to avenge his father’s death is continually challenged in his heart while pondering over what happened in his life, good and bad. And this, combined with the tragedy of the characters affected by his decisions, gave me a long-lasting feeling of emotional languor and sadness, which I haven’t experienced during the series. However, it was a meaningful sensation as I felt it conveyed better the message of the story.
