Review of Samurai Champloo

samurai champloo takes place during edo period japan but has a hip-hop type theme to the show.this anime has 3 main charecters,fuu the clumsy but adorable teenage girl,mugen an uncontrolable time bomb but is one of the most badass charecters in anime and jin, the calm and collected traditional samurai,plus fuu has a little flying squirrel as a pet named mo-mo and is arguablly one of the coolest pets in anime,anyway on to the plot,after being capurtured and set up for public exicution,fuu makes them promise her something in exchange she'll set them free,after being freed they set put keep their promise which was to helpfuu find the samurai that smells of sunflowers.now this is good plot but the show rarely follows about 7 or
8 episodes focus on this plot,the rest of the episodes are about the indivisual romances of the charecters,an indaian,
the undead,a blind assassin,the yakuza,and a gay euorpin guy,this anime is like one long roadtrip but with some action.
now the ending i thought it was kinda a cop out,the ending wasnt so much as bad but it was just kinda an ending,but you
what they say its not the destination but the journey.i thought there was some pretty good charecter development we got
to see the past of each of the charecters,we got to see these charecters frow and i got attached to all 3 of them,the
art work was wonderful really good really fluent during fighting scenes and just good vibrant artwork,now towards the
end of the series the quality stopped being as good i dont know why i guess the studio just ran out of funding.though
samurai champloo has action and at times is really serious there is comedy and one of my favorite comic relef charecters
is monzo the saw,he narrates the whole show in this tone thats like hes trying to be serious but you cant take him
seriously and it ends up being very funny,the soundtrack is unique and is a mix or japanese rap and hip-hop,now i
say unique because japanese rap is different from english but its still very good,the opening is good and has one of my
favorite theme songs in anime,ok now sub or dub i liked the dub and only really watch the sub if i dont like the english
voice acting,which i thought was pretty good,i did watch some of the sub but i liked the dub more.i give this anime a
9 out of 10,i really enjoyed samurai champloo a lot and highly recommend it to anyone that likes action anime or liked
cowboy bebop.
