Friday September 11, 2009 there will be an Encore Presentation of Afro Samurai: Ressurrection on Spike TV in honor of the Network's first primetime Emmy®-Nominated Program.



The Program was nominated for Outstand Animated Program and the winner is to be announced during the 2009 Emmy Creative Arts Awards Ceremony on September 12, 2009. The show is set to play at 1:00 - 3:00 AM, ET/PT and is Spike's first ever Primetime Emmy®-Nomination from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The program has already been honored with a 2009 Primetime Emmy® Award for Art Director Shigemi Ikeda, Art Director for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation.

"Afro Samurai: Resurrection" is the sequel to the network's 2007 premiere of "Afro Samurai" and is based on the original art and story telling of manga artist Takashi Okazaki about a black samurai's quest for revenge and justice for his murdered father. Academy-Award®-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson, who also serves as an executive producer, stars in a dual role, as the uncompromising hero, Afro, as well as his motor-mouthed sidekick Ninja Ninja. When his father's body is stolen from its grave, Afro is forced to pick up his sword again and wreak bloody vengeance against an army of deadly foes led by a sadistic mastermind. ~ FUNimation


"Afro Samurai: Resurrection" was produced for Spike TV by Japanese studio GONZO in association/partnership with GONZO K.K. and FUNimation Entertainment.
