Peepo Choo:

"The series is a rude and ultraviolent satire on US-Japanese mutual cultural
misunderstanding. African-American otaku Milton is a crazed fan of the anime and manga
series Peepo Choo, and is wildly overjoyed when he wins a trip to Japan in a raffle at his
local comic shop, believing that the country is nerd heaven. His boss at the comic shop,
Jody, despises Milton but hopes that Milton's command of Japanese will help him get laid
by hot Japanese girls. What neither of them know is that the whole trip is an excuse for
their boss Gill, who has a secret life as international hitman and unstoppable killing machine
"Fate", to do a hit."

Afro Samurai:

"The Afro Samurai anime was a creative collaboration between Samuel L. Jackson, Takashi
Okazaki, and Gonzo, with the music scored by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. After the
success of the anime series it was adapted into an animated film, a video game and
received a live action tribute short film titled "Afro Samurai: Flesh and Bone". The anime
aired first on Spike TV in the US from Jan 4, 2007 to Feb 1, 2007. 3 months later it aired
on Japanese television over in two consecutive night blocks with Japanese subtitles."
