I think it seemed good from what they showed and I'll probably check it out when it comes out. I assume it stays in english so hope they find some decent people to do the voices. Not that much to say about it yet I guess.

ps. Sorry for the lack of info. My quicktime crashes my browsers for some reason now. Think it got messed up after I updated it today. :rolleyes:

Quentin Tarantino meets James Bond best definition . I am really excited seeing the trailer it was awesome . One thing worries me will they have or use the same lousy va they used for Afro Samurai …

Hmm. Looks like it could be good. Also could flop. :/ Gonzo has always made quality animation. I think this is all going to depend on what kind of buzz gets going about it from the story and VAs.

When the best five killers are hunted by the ultimate assassin:3 Die.2 Survive. 1 Lives... Forever.

Set in the high tech, high stakes world of espionage and global conspiracy, The Five Killers reunites the world’s greatest assassins years after their bitter retirement. One of them has been found murdered, and the message is clear: they’re next.

They’re names are

SWORD, BOMB, GUN, KNIFE, and VAMPIRE.


The story begins on a rainy afternoon in Boston, when four of the estranged killers gather for an unexpected funeral. Knife is dead, and no one knows who murdered him. Since they've all been out of the game for a long while, Knife's death comes as a shocking surprise but one they all know to be possible given their line of work.

The funeral doesn't go smoothly. Immediately, uncomfortable glances, sudden arguments, and old accusations begin to fly as the remaining four confront one another with the bitterness and jealousies that originally drove them apart until a fifth mourner arrives. Dressed in white and announcing himself as "The Droid," he cheerfully takes credit for Knife's assassination--and declares the other four to be his next targets. On the run, forced together in self-defense, the four race around the world trying to find who--or what--is behind this mysterious "Droid" and why they're marked for death.

With an explosive ending, life death, immortality, and love all converge in an emotional and shocking final conclusion.

I hope they have learnt their lesson or gotten feedback on Afro Samurai I really dont want the Budhist Monks to speak Gospel . Even afro had an intresting plot but the poor cast destroyed the show . I wish I could get Afro in Japanese with subs then I would have truly enjoyed watching it

Yea, this show will need all the components that any other good show has to succeed. I don't think it should be held with faults that afro had, so soon. Is it really english first and only?

The studio handling it is Bones this is there second venture into Region 1 . Their first collaboration so as to speak off is Afro with SamJack
