Review of Samurai Champloo

First things first. This is the best soundtrack for any form of media (be it anime or otherwise) that I have ever heard in my entire life. I was so sad to hear that the music producer (Jun Seba aka Nujabes) passed away. But the soundtrack is only the first of things I love about it. The story is unique, and interesting. I found myself so riveted in the characters that I cried.... a lot (sidenote: I'm a super easy crier). The story about the sunflower samurai really keeps things going, and all the adventures, and people they meet on the way add greatly tothe overall suspense, especially during the climax. And I also greatly enjoy the episodes that add to the characters background. So, in short, it's a serious, suspenseful anime, with a very satisfying climax and falling action. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys anime (male and female alike!)
