Review of Samurai Champloo

I have never seen Cowboy Bebop nor will i make any connections relating the two. This review is solely based after watching Samurai Champloo. STORY: Not the most complex of stories and most of the series feels like a bunch of fillers. There are little bits of clues here and there but overall any episode could easily be mistaken for the second episode. However, Samurai Champloo is another anime in which the actual enjoyment comes from the personality of each character. Try to show your friends an episode that you cried laughing to and they just wouldn't understand... QUALITY: Samurai Champloo is available in 1080p and 720p via fansuband bluray disk. Personally i was content with the 720p versions sent out by Cman. Visually, Samurai Champloo is a collaboration of japanese portraits itself with its unique drawings. Animation can get a little weak at times but graphics are crisp.

EPISODES:
Every episode feels like a filler except for a hand full of episodes explaining the characters backgrounds and personality. But in the end, each episode strengthens the relationship between the characters and the person watching the anime. Notably, the baseball episode is Hilarious after establishing all the characters.

MUSIC:
Samurai Champloo has to have one of the best OSTs. Influenced by traditional Japanese and underground hip hop, Samurai Champloo will leave you searching for more artists under the hip hop genre. Powerful opening by Nujabes and just overall great composure, Samurai Champloo blends greatly with its soundtrack.

OVERALL:
Although Samurai Champloo falls short of a solid original story it makes up with short laugh episodes. Its one of those animes where waiting one week for a new episode will in the end piss you off. However, strong music and character relationships saves this anime from being over looked.
