But how much would it cost v.s make? Anime has a large overall audience but most anime watchers have a very selective taste. I just don't think that Afro Fans would be able to support such a project in ticket sales. Most of my friends don't even know what Afro Samurai is. I think a live-action adaptaion would be cool.

My dad bought it for me for X-mas, and I was skeptical about watching it, but once I started, it was like, lo and behold, a vision quest. I can't wait to watch the sequel sometime this weekend! I don't think it should be made into live-action, though. ~ Coat Call me a late bloomer - but Afro Samurai is absolutely tits up the most brilliant piece of anime I’ve ever seen.

He could make an X rated Cap'n Crunch movie with a disposable Walmart camera, and it would be the most brilliant film of that year. Miike is the most talented, fascinating director working today.

I must admit I've never watch Afro Samurai but from what I know of the plot, Miike could turn this into a good movie with his own twist. He should do it, yeah !
