Samurai Champloo (2004–2005)
10/10
A True Classic
15 November 2007
I'm not really drawn in by many animes, they all seem (no offense, anime lovers) a bit nerdy, however i really liked Cowboy Bebop and Hellsing. Life after Shinichiro Watanabe after Cowbow Bebop? Samurai Champloo. Samurai Champloo follows the distraught, weird and sometimes tragic lives of Mugen, Jin and Fuu. What instantly makes you take a liking to these characters is their styles, Mugen , the crazy, dirt-mouthed warrior, Jin the master samurai and Fuu, the annoying girl. The series is full of twists and turns as Fuu struggles to find a samurai who smells of sunflower and Mugen and Jin's blurry past, which is slowly revealed throughout the series, which brings me to another plus; the story. I found this story to be one of the most progressive stories ever, keeping you on your toes and revealing a little bit about the character every episode.

The animation style is great, it's got violence, humor and a nice hip hop soundtrack to go along with it. A must for all (except the kids)!
