Afro Samurai
Summary: On the dark path of swordsmanship in a "Futuristic" yet Feudal Japan, it is said that the one who becomes No.1 will rule the world. But the only rule in this world is that only the No. 2 is allowed to fight the No. 1. The No. 2, the Afro Samurai, travels the road looking for revenge on those who murdered his father in front of him when he was just a boy, Afro's attention is now focused on No. 1, a three-armed gunman who is the lord of the dark swordsman's road.

SAMUEL JACKSON
YES.
SAMUEL JACKSON.
Hopefully that got your attention. >.>
I don't know if this show is going to be any good, but the trailer looks sweet, and it's got SAMUEL JACKSON voicing the main character.
It's an American show, ripping off successful series like Samurai Champloo, but who needs originality when you have SAMUEL JACKSON ? It looks like it'll be pretty entertaining. And it's only 5 episodes, so the plot will be fast-paced and won't stray too much. Plus, the art looks really solid - I'm a sucker for pretty things.
It first aired on January 4th. It'll be airing weekly on SpikeTV, methinks. I'm just gonna download it since I missed the first episode.
