Afro Samurai, the pseudo-anime series, is a visual feast, a kinetic whirlwind of animated style that puts so many TV shows to shame. Namco Bandai is looking to capture that in their action-adventure game of the same name, and if they are able to replicate even a tenth of the show’s cinematic splendor, it’ll be quite the feat.

From these screenshots boasting an awesome cel-shaded style, it looks like they are well on their way to capture the artistry. We’ll just have to wait and see how the katanas clash and the limbs fly in motion. But so far, it’s looking damn good. And when you have Samuel L. Jackson voicing the main character in your game, what more could you ask for?
