Review of Samurai Champloo

the plot seemed slow and repeating at times. Showing the same themes and presenting the same struggle. But towards the middle and end is where it really picks up in narrative story telling. Motives were well shown and told, the aesthetic that this show bares is also very appealing. Hip-hop mixed with traditionalist Japanese music. The animation and art style is also stunning the whole way through. Out of the 26 episodes only 2 struck me as odd (Fucking baseball episode?), the consistency was there and wasn't. And none of the main cast were flat in development, all were well founded and complex which allowedthe story to wound up wonderfully. 8/10
