But seriously, we've known this for almost a decade now. Afro Samurai, anyone?


Producing and having two roles in Afro Samurai doesn't really mean we know he's anime fan.

Well, given his track record that's not surprising.

Now it would really surprising if a certain white female actress would also say she likes anime...


Who? Scarlett Johansson?


Actually, Uma Thurman. Always thought of her less as an actress and more of a good anime voice actress.
Although, Scarlett Johansson would most definitely be a surprise!

I love that he tangentially tossed in hentai which totally adds credence to his words.

Now I want that exclusive ANN interview to see what kinds of anime he likes.


Yeah, if there was any doubt, lol, this guy is certainly one of the few legit. He definitely likes some of the unique stuff too. I have no doubt he watched Legend of the Overfiend back in his day. And he definitely loves stuff like Ninja Scroll, Kite and Samurai Champloo. I love that he just doesn't give a f*ck either. No DBZ and Sailor Moon for him. Laughing

Giving his track record I always had a feeling that he was an Anime fan but I never would have guessed that mace windu was into hentai. Laughing

Soooooo... when can we expect him to play Dutch in a black lagoon movie/tv show? Laughing


Would be a dream casting!


My first pick for Dutch has always been Idris Elba, but I would not complain about Sam Jack in the slightest.

Idris Elba is pretty bad ass, but Dutch rocks the Sam Jack look.

Given his passionate love for Samurai movies (watch the extras for Samurai Executioner for a great interview about that), this isn't a big surprise - but yeah, acknowledgement that he likes hentai is beyond awesome!

So it may not be his usual flair, but how about Fire Emblem from Tiger and Bunny?

Demanding he star in it was something else though.
