Before renting this a fundamental question must be asked. How much do you LOVE Samuel L. Jackson? Are you a fan or a super fan? Trust me. It's going to be very important because you are going to live with him on a large scale for two hours.
Now, this series breaks two big rules of Anime:
1. Don't tell the audience more than they need to know about the background of the characters.
2. Keep the dialog at a basic level.
For two hours you are going to be party to an American version of what we think Anime should be. To me it doesn't really work. In fact, it's a haul to get through. However, my husband LOVED it. I really think that this is a guy thing along the lines of Rambo and Die Hard.
If you see it and like it then great, but there are MUCH better series out there.
