“Before the title was even scheduled to broadcast, there was a minimum of three minutes per episodes that was known to never make broadcast… The DVDs started and were conceptualized with an extra 15 minutes that would only be seen on DVD. Through the editing process, we decided what was going to be for the DVD and what was going to be for broadcast. Spike had a big play in that because there’s a lot of things in ‘Afro Samurai’ that just couldn’t be seen or heard on TV. And we all know that Sam unedited is better than Sam edited.”
