Review of Samurai Champloo

This anime is absolutely outstanding. I first started watching this anime when i was on a plain flight in the USA. At first i started this anime because i figured out that it had music from the outstanding Nujabes. but then I also figured out that the anime also was directed by the same person who made Cowboy Bebop, another amazing show that is kind of similar in style. infant I'm going to be comparing these two anime because they are both very similar and popular. On with the review Story 9/10-could be be better but otherwise magnificent. The story unlike cowboy bebop actually has morean overarching plot and goal. when i watched cowboy bebop I originally had it on hold because i just thought that it didn't have enough plot, I soon completed it after this anime. While the show is still very episodic I think it could be comparable to shows like Avatar the Last Airbender. Which isn't an anime, but is still very popular. the main characters are still taking a long journey to there goal, but as they go on the episodic journey, little bits and pieces start to form, until you have your ending and climax.

The show also takes place during the edo period, but more modern, which is a very interesting setting.

Characters 9/10 - very colorful cast of characters, Fuu could have ben better.

The characters are extremely interesting and colorful. the main characters Fuu, Jin, and Mugen represent the present, past, and the future. Because of that there personalities and attitudes are different. Jin's personality is very samurai like, while also having a smart and refined ora representing the period before the edo period in Japan. Mugen's fighting style is more whiled and he is much less refined kind of like the modern day youth.
and Fuu doesn't have a fighting style, probably because the time period that she lives in is a peaceful time period without war. Her personality is laid back, but she does want to get her job done.

While Samurai Champloo might not have as many characters as cowboy bebop, I do feel like this is to there benefit, because having a nice defined smaller cast of characters makes each character have more time to be developed. Its easier to develop 3 characters then 5.

Art 9/10 - old age is a thing would have liked the images at 1080p

The art in samurai champloo is very detailed and outstanding. even for an old show the aesthetic and the style still amaze me. the style also fitts well with the rap/jazz style really well.

Sound 10 - the best thing about the show.

The music in this anime hit it out of the park. Much like Cowboy Bebop this anime is music themed which i appreciate. Love that artsy stuff. Anyway Nujibes, Fat Jon, and a couple other artists worked on this show witch is pretty cool. I cant really describe music so just watch it. its good I'm telling you.

Enjoyment 10 - never a dull moment.

This is one of my favorite anime ever. I always loved every aspect of it. Though there were some flaws none of them were that notable.

9/10- amazing show that you should watch,
