The Anime Marches On! 2020 Challenge (24/32)
A film by Takeshi Koike
--
A great little shot of streaming zigzagging kinetic excess already exhibiting the raw guts of everything that was to come, with plenty of pertinent characters and images already fully fleshed out and here in black and white and gray and judicious vivid flashes of blood red, all to a bouncin' Hip hop score. If you've heard of Afro Samurai but don't know what it's about or if it's for you, this really is an ideal four-minute sampler to help you find out. -
Review by maskull ★★★★
Directed by Takeshi Koike
So this is four minutes and there's no story, just a trailer. I've never seen Afro Samurai but I'm familiar with the art so I was curious to see what it was supposed to be/look like a few years before it was actually unleashed upon the public. I really love the art style in the trailer. I may even slightly prefer it to what I've seen of the anime that actually happened. But other than that and some fun violence, this doesn't really amount to much. More of a curiosity than anything else. It's on the 'Tube if you want to check it out.

Review by Fabulous Cinema ★★★★★
The "what-could-have-been" pilot promo for Afro Samurai. Released in 2003, this 3-minute piece, helmed by Takeshi Koikei and Studio Madhouse, was a taste of what was to come for their full production of the anime series. However, the delayed production of the film Redline caused Koikei and the production company to cancel the full show before handing it over to Studio Gonzo. This eventually led to the Spike TV 5-episode miniseries of 2009 that we have today.
It's a bummer to say the least, as you can see the stylized smorgasbord that would have taken place if this pilot had pushed the production forward to completion.

Cool as hell. Wish this guy has actually worked in the rest of the show. If only Takeshi Koike made more movies like Redline…
