Seems that the Afro Samurai (famous for including Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson) is hitting UK TV Channel Bravo on May 4th 2007 at 11:30pm, says website DigiGuide (http://forums.digiguide.com/topic.asp?id=20224).

The 5 episode, Gonzo produced series is famous for featuring the vocal talent of the bad muther himself Samuel L. Jackson, along with Ron Periman (Hellboy) and Kelly Hu. With a reported $5 million budget and a soundtrack composed by RZA (Kill Bill), this is anything but a small production.

That's good news for UK'ers. Is it airing on the Adult Swim block over there?

Would be different since they don't air any anime.

And judging by the posts over at their official message board, they want to keep it that way.

Not true if you read the earlier posts I think you will find out those who were pro-anime where in the majority. It's only becuase those who where against anime stuck around longer becuase they were getting their own way lol. After Afro Samurai airs just watch that board flood with anime fans coming back lol. Conan-san will back me up lol.

It's true when things piss you off, you do tend to get away from thing that pisses you off.

Once Afro Samurai airs on adult swim UK watch the anime fans come crawling back and warmly welcomed.

Bravo have went on record and complained about low ratings for adult swim UK but I've got a feeling this will bump up the ratings.

That explains the Adult Swim message boards.
