Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder is African American. However, both of those titles have a degree of racial legitimacy. Current manga and anime distribution rights to the title may possibly be connected to an unproduced American film project, but my own guess is that regardless of availability, thereвЂ™s just little domestic licensing interest in the property.ДЄnimated projects targeting an urban black audience including The Boondocks and Afro Samurai have proven popular and successful in America. A number of years ago, in its effort to ingratiate itself into American teen pop culture, Tokyopop published some of the manga and aggressively promoted the franchise and creator Santa Inoue.

The manga spun-off a 13 episode Tokyo Tribe 2 anime television series in 2006, animated by Madhouse. Manga author Santa InoueвЂ™s 1997-2005 Tokyo Tribes 2 manga series sequel to his own 1993 Tokyo Tribe manga is a unique effort to localize and adopt American urban black gang culture into a Japanese setting. Or do you think the rights are somehow tied up in that failed MTV movie?Д«efore even beginning to address this question I feel vitally compelled to assert that I intend no cultural or racial disrespect, nor do I suppose myself as any sort of cultural or racial authority and expert.

Why do you think no effortвЂ™s been made to bring over the Tokyo Tribes anime and/or rescue the manga? The success of The Boondocks and Afro Samurai proves thereвЂ™s a market for action anime with an urban theme, so Tokyo Tribes should be a shoe-in for a come-back.
