The question on everyone's mind:

How will they translate "muthaf****r" into Japanese?

Maybe this is his chance to play with swords; since QT didn't let him in Kill Bill Vol. 2 (he only played the blind musician Rufus).

But it should be awesome. I'm thinking Shaft meets Mugen.

I remember reading about this new series in May while I was lurking around Anime News Network. This was around the time Adult Swim announced its premiere of Samurai Champloo. Maybe that's why the press release didn't get much coverage here? Who can say?
