| title: | Samurai Champloo | |
| rating: | 9.5 | |
| description: | Mugen`s a buck wild warrior - violent, thoughtless and womanizing. Jin is a vagrant ronin - mysterious, traditional, well-mannered and very strong as well. These two fiercely independent warriors can`t be any more different from one another, yet their paths cross when Fuu, a ditzy waitress, saves them from being executed when they are arrested after a violent swordfight. Fuu convinces the two vagrant young men to help her find a mysterious samurai "who smells of sunflowers." And their journey begins. This is a story about love, friendship and courage... NOT! | |
swirly says: When I first tell people about this anime they seem to be skeptical about it. Generally the tagline for it is "Cowboy Bebop done to hiphop instead of jazz." This seems to make people doubt it and I must admit that I did as well. I'll also say that I recall it taking a bit for me to get used to the pacing of the episodes. The best way I can describe it is that it really did have a hiphop kind of feel to it.
By the end of the show though it had really won me over. The characters are well done, the story is well done, everything is really well done. Its just different than what you normally see and so it takes some getting used to. Its definately one of my favorite animes though and I can't say that I would have any problem recommending it to people.
