Review of Samurai Champloo

I had been wanting to watch this anime for a while and I really don't know why I didn't dwell on watching it earlier. This anime, is amazing. Think I'm going overboard? No. I'm not, because there wasn't a single thing that bothered me about it. You know how sometimes, you watch certain anime's nowadays and you're just like...''well why didn't they just....?'' or you even soon doubt how something doesn't really go right? In Samurai Champloo, I didn't have that ''off'' feeling. It went smoothly, and I enjoyed it all the way until the end. The characters, were awesome as well. Mugen, your rough butfree spirited type. Jin, the always serious but has a compassionate side. And Fuu, the clumsy but yet spicy female. Although one may consider these to be ''cliche'' what was different was that they all had a past that was hidden until throughout the anime. I loved being able to go onto every other episode and unleash fragments of their past. Not to mention, their personalities coming together was always fun to watch. I was entertained within every episode, which is rare for me because I'm sorta picky when it comes to giving anime's a full 10.

THE SOUNDTRACKS MY GOODNESS, I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE. Every soundtrack was absolutely, BEAUTIFUL. Now when I say beautiful, I don't mean...orchestral beautiful. But to incorporate hip-hop with Samurai sword fights and beautiful voices such as Minm's is genius. I loved hearing every soundtrack in the background and the amazing opening and endings! Usually I only end up like either the opening or the ending, so if you're like me to be able to enjoy both is sorta rare.

Overall, I recommend this to just about anyone! It's a fun anime, and I wish I never finished as quick as I did...but it was just that good that I couldn't help myself to finish it! Thanks so much Hosoda Mamoru. (:
