Samurai Champloo

Samurai Champloo


Hey guys it's Swink here to review the anime Samurai Champloo, let's get started.

For those who don't know here's a little background on Samurai Champloo, SC (Samurai Champloo) ran from May of 2004 to March of 2005, SC was made by the production team led by director Shinichirō  Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Kids on the Slope, Space Dandy, Terror in Resonance) , SC was Watanabe's first directorial effort for an anime after Cowboy Bebop. Like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo was critically acclaimed. FUNimation had dubbed the series after Geneon Entertainment had ceased production of its titles. 


Samurai Champloo is set in a alternative version of the Edo-era of Japan with an anachronism, predominantly hip-hop, setting. It follows the characters Mugen, Jin and Fuu as they search for the "samurai that smells of sunflowers" .

Review:
I first got wind of Samurai Champloo a few months ago after it was suggested to me a few times so I thought i'd check it out, so I started watching the first 5 episode one night, I told myself I wasn't going to stay up all night and watch it, well that was a lie by the time I knew it I was up till 3 or 4 watching it. Samurai Champloo has to be one of my all time favorite anime show's next to Soul Eater, SC takes you on a adventure with it with its dark comedy and its action, not to mention Mugen's a total badass with his damn break dancing moves. I won't go into to much detail in my review about SC, I don't want to spoil it for you, but I do say you will not regret watching Samurai Champloo at all I know I haven't, this is a series I will watch more than once, so all in all I would recommend SC to a friend, family or pretty much anyone who loves anime.

I give Samurai Champloo a 9 out of 10, let me know what you think of it, if you watch it.
