    Yeah, Afro Samurai is one of those rare animes produced in America. Sam Jackson did do voice work, including a number of other big names but at the moment the only other person I can think of is Ron Pearlman. I hear that each episode cost an estimated $1 million a piece!

    Cuz hiring Samuel L. Jackson and other big names ain't cheap. And the animation in Afro Samurai is very high budget.

    A friend recommended me Code Geass some days ago... I have seen only two episodes though xD Lelouche is so evil... :D

    I also want to watch Samurai Champloo, specially since it was one of Michael Dante DiMartino's (avatar creator) influences.

    You should definitely see Samurai Champloo. It's one cool, violent, and down right hip show. :D

    It's pretty cool. It's in between Begins and the Dark Knight kinda like the Animatrix.

    That sounds pretty awesome. As a side note, Animatrix was pretty awesome also.
