Review of Samurai Champloo

This was a really fun anime. It's the story of how three depressed, unfulfilled people find joy in the company of one another. The characters may seem a little bland at first, but over the course of the series, they lose their prospective barriers and talk about their backstories. You eventually fall in love with em. If you're expecting a straight 100% historically accurate show, this is not it chief. Hip-hop and Black culture blends into the soul of this production. It's similar to Afro Samurai in this regard. It's an action-packed, and beautifully animated show. The music from Nujabes goes hard as well (AraurianDance). It's a classic for a reason. Some downsides is that you may not enjoy the hijinks that ensue every episode. If you want something that is very plot driven, this won't be the show for you. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys something more mature and action-focused, but still enjoys good humor and characters. 9/10
