Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
maryam-25642 I finished this anime in two days and my only regret is that i didn't watch it earlier. im a new anime fan as i just recently got into it but still i have watched the big ones such as death note, fullmetal alchemist, one punch man etc.. but i never really heard of samurai champloo until i stumbled on it when i finished cowboy bebop (same creators). let me just say..IT IS SO AMAZING. the plot. the visiuals. the MUSIC. the characters. just about everyting. i loved watching fuu, mugen and jins journey to finding the samurai who smells of sunflowers.. just pure enjoyment. never had a dull moment. you really grow attached to the characters and its so nostalgic once you finish the show knowing you won't get to be with them anymore.. anyway if you are like me and usually read reviews before watching a series then im here to tell you: DO IT. samurai champloo is WORTH IT and so much more. now that ive finished it i cant wait to rewatch it again. your fellow anime comrade
sakalakavallavan Good music once again,great character design especially the lead males while the female is a black and white girl.The story telling lets it down,gets slow in the first 12 episodes and the plot given to stick together the things would have better not been given as its touched at times and results in exasperation for characters as well as us.The remaining 13 are interesting and range from good to very good.Yeah beautiful animation as well...Did well to keep it to 25 episodes and creatively takes history and mixes it fictionally but does not achieve any thing with it and hence turns out to be a kill time anime more than anything else.
CommunistWaffles I just bought the series on Amazon last week, and i sat down and watched every episode this week. Great anime. Growing up with Cowboy bebop, and hearing my buddies saying Samurai Champloo is a better anime than bebop, I hated that. I didn't want to like Champloo but it's irresistible! This anime is full of charm, humor, kick-assery, , and i guess elegance is a good word too? Now, i don't like to compare this show to Cowboy Bebop, but most people do so when watching this. So from a biased point of view, I like Cowboy Bebop better than Samurai Champloo, but if you set aside your biased beliefs or childhood memories, Champloo is a more gripping anime. My face literally ripped off my head and blew up repeatedly while being beatin' in the head with a sledgehammer of Emerald while being mind raped by Satan because I ignored a facebook post that said that would happen to me if you didn't "Like" a status, and i ignored the status so that happened to me,and that's how I felt when i found out the Samurai who smells of sunflowers was! Anyway, fantastic work of anime.
saymonja-148-363330 This is one of those animes that has me telling myself, "damn! Did I really already watch all of the best series?? Is there nothing else like__________?". I hope I'm wrong, but if you're looking for something that scratches your anime itches, here you are. Action? Traveling/Adventure? Samurai? Character development? Great 90's era hip-hop/R&B soundtrack? Comedy? Beat-boxing? Social satire, lamenting the bygone era of open sexuality in Edo-period Japan (think Ancient Greece), due to contact with the bizarre puritanical morals of Westerners? Check all of those off your anime list. Assuming your "anime requirements" list is like mine, which is wicked awesome. And watch it. It is becoming clear to me that the old adage, "they don't make 'em like they used to" is becoming sadly true of anime in the 21st century. The more I watch, the more that I realize how badly most series often suffer from formulae. In my own mind, I'd proclaimed anime to be the "Anti-Hollywood", where engaging plots were developed, engaging characters were developed, unique ideas were possible. It was everything American TV wasn't interested in being anymore. Samurai Champloo is one of the few series that still fit my idealized depiction of anime.
