Samurai Champloo

[Eternity]

Anyone Samurai Champloo fans out there? I like it so far what I have seen, I got up to episode 17 on my computer but haven't seen them yet.

[mgviperman]

I'm a samurai champloo fan! it's awesome! and i love the soundtracks too :D

[Uzumaki-Kun]

I haven't seen this anime but I am a huge Samurai 7 fan but now the series is licensed :sad: , has any one else seen Samurai 7 and do you think that Samurai Champloo is any better?

[Nitey!]

It's really hard for me to compare Samurai 7 and Samurai Champloo, because the action in both of them is very different, and they both have their share of up's and down's. But Samurai Champloo is still a pretty cool anime to watch.

[Tammy]

Samurai7 was boring sooo boring that I stopped on teh first episode. Samurai Champloo rocked tho!! soo awesome, can;t wait for them to start airing more eps again need more funny fuuness lol and jin and mugennesss XD

[ramenkage]

champloo got too artsy for me

[Nitey!]

Samurai7 was boring sooo boring that I stopped on teh first episode. Samurai Champloo rocked tho!! soo awesome, can;t wait for them to start airing more eps again need more funny fuuness lol and jin and mugennesss XD
At least watch until episode 9 or 10 of Samurai 7, that's where things start to pick up. :rolleye09

haha, that's the exact same thing I was thinking but then I refused to stop watching the Samurai 7 anime and in the end I got hooked it gets a lot more interesting after the first episode but Samurai 7 is one wierd anime and I guess that is what kept me watching. I'm downloading that Samurai Champloo right now I can't wait to see the first episode. :)

[Tammy]

At least watch until episode 9 or 10 of Samurai 7, that's where things start to pick up. :rolleye09


its jes so boring tho :( so hard to continue.. i still havent watched the get backers episodes i downloaded -.-

[mgviperman]

yea i almost quit samurai 7 after the first episode, but i gave it another chance. things don't pick up for a couple episodes but after that it's a good anime i think. the ending is sad though =\

[ramenkage]

what is there not like about samurai 7, its the combined most aspects of japanese anime...giant robots and samurais, all it lack is chicks with big boobs

[Nitey!]

But you havent seen Kyuuzo in action yet. :( It's way cooler than anything Mugen or Jin has done. =\

[Tammy]

fine fine ill give it another try and come bak and tell you guys wat i think O_O

[mgviperman]

Kyuuzo is the man!!! Easily my fav character.....damn you Katsushiro!!!

[Nitey!]

Kyuuzo is the man!!! Easily my fav character.....damn you Katsushiro!!!

I'm always right :winking56

[hasuke]

Mmm, Champloo. A true anime masterpiece in my eyes. I recently picked up the DVDs, and I'm impressed by Mugen's english actor. I mean, sure, he sounds like good ol' Spike some of the time but he did really well.

Jin and Fuu's have yet to grow on me, however.

Can't wait for the new episodes, awwww yea.

[Ichigo255]

Samurai Champloo... is it as good as i've heard or is it crappy? my friend says it is but he also said its hip-hoppish. true or not true?

[mgviperman]

the soundtrack is all hip-hop, but it's very well implemented with the anime. i don't think it's crappy at all :)

[Tammy]

It has alot of hip hop elements integrated into the anime, such as: fighting styles, some breaking steps; music, scratching beatboxing etc. If you like hip hop itll make the anime even better, you should just watch the first episode and give it a shot. Obviously by all the comments peopel have made this is an awesome anime :)

[hasuke]

Haha! Don't forget that one lacky who beatboxes into his katana hilt!

[omen]

"I mean, sure, he sounds like good ol' Spike some of the time but he did really well"

Lucas is Spike... :whatevah:

[cross0ver]

Been wanting to watch this, just haven't had any time. I liked the first episode, haven't seen other episodes.

Does anyone have the dvd?

[hasuke]

I have the DVD, and I have to say i'm fairly impressed with the dub. Mugen's VA sounds heavily like Spike at times, but other times it's just really unique. All in all i'm impressed with his Job. Jin and Fuu's VA have yet to grow on me, but thats probably because i've only seen episode 1 off of my dvd XD

[Nitey!]

Woot Samurai Champloo airs tomorow!

Been a slow anime season for me =\

[Tammy]

tomorrow... is the same sub group subbing it nite? :/ i heard sumtin about stopping cuz its licensed......... :sadd:

[itachi]

i didn't know samurai champloo was going to air tomorrow. i can't wait to see what will happen in the new episode.

[hasuke]

Yes Tammy, the same group is subbing. They're only removing the episodes as they're released on DVD. Meaning that episode 1 - 4 are now offline, and when DVD 2 comes out, 5 - 8 will be taken down, etc.

[Nitey!]

tomorrow... is the same sub group subbing it nite? :/ i heard sumtin about stopping cuz its licensed......... :sadd:
It was licensed before it aired. =\

Besides Anime Kraze and AnimeOne both still sub it also, though it took them until this week to finally catch up. =\

[Tammy]

I heard rumor cuz of the animesuki incident they'll stop :/ stop badgering me

[Nitey!]

What animesuki incident? D:

[Uzumaki-Kun]

I donwloaded ep 1, last night now it's time to watch. :)

[hasuke]

Only Animesuki incident I know is that the japanese producers of Genshiken asked that Animesuki remove all torrents for Genshiken or legal action would take place or something like that.

But they're still subbing Champloo at animeforever.org (which is where I always got it, didn't know other people where subbing it XD)

[omen]

Hight Q animation... I like.

[Uzumaki-Kun]

I have watched like 6 eps its is okay but what really annoys me is how that girl is always getting into trouble for Jin and Mugen. The sword fights and everything is cool but whats up with the story? looking for a Samurai that smells like sunflowers and I can't believe one ep was about homosexual guy from Holland. :rolleye09

[Tammy]

o.O the anime is about journey. Like Kino's Travel...

[Uzumaki-Kun]

o.O the anime is about journey. Like Kino's Travel...
Yes, I know its the journey to find the Samurai who smells like sunflowers for some reason... :whatevah:

[Tammy]

Not all anime has to have such a direct plot. Like Naruto or like DBZ. or even FMA. FLCL, if you've seen it, it wasn't very plotty, all pretty random. But it did have a meaning in the end.

[Uzumaki-Kun]

Naruto and FMA have good plots because Naruto wants to become Hokage and Ed wants his mom back. In Samurai Champloo they are after a Samurai who smells like sunflowers for no apparent reason.

Its a journey, about them getting into situations. You don't know why Fuu is searching for him yet.

I never said the other anime's plots were bad. I said they were different compared to SC.

Yes exactly I don't know why. That's probably the reason why I dont like the plot. ;)

I guess I need to watch more to get in to the plot but that homosexual ep freaked me out.

I was glad they didnt used a fake holland voice, it sounded really realistic =p

*Cough* *cough*
:doindadom
None that I know of that are free. They only keep the latest anime releases.

[hasuke]

Fuu is after the sunflower samurai because he killed her family.

Champloo is like a remix of typical samurai drama. So it's based around a revenge plot. Fuu mentions why she's after the sunflower samurai in one episode.

Fuu is a ditz, so she's bound to get into trouble.

[Nofear]

unrighteous man...that was one of the most funniest ep ever...
especially the quote about this country and buttholes
*probably cant repeat him*
how could you not like that ep

i dont think thats all the way true
Wasnt there a flashback during the Disorder Diaries (ep 12?)
when she talks about her mom dying and there's an image of her mom? laying down...more as if she was sick than killed?
idk...just thinking :headbang: :musak:

Kinda like my views on Naruto.

ANYWAYS.

I need to rewatch episodes...I remember hearing Fuu mention that he killed her mother or something like that somewhere. Blah. either way, it's a revenge plot, those are common to Samurai Dramas. Hell, look at the kenshin, thats loaded to the brim with revenge.

[Chih1ro]

I watched the first 10 episodes yesterday, and watched 14 more episodes up to 24 in one sitting today. I really like the style... it's very artsy. I was watching the subbed versions because that's all I could find, and I noticed that this anime is rather difficult to translate. There are just toooo many Japan only things that are very hard to translate into English. I'm glad I'm not doing it :face82:

[Tammy]

Lol ya and it includes lotsa little sniplets of history stuff o_O;;;

[Nitey!]

I dont really bother reading those translations notes in the subs unless it really has to do with their journey. I usually forget it anyways. =\

[Chih1ro]

You should, it really adds to the overall feel of the anime I think. But if I didn't understand Japanese I don't think I would want to pause and read those notes all the time. They go by too fast.

On a random note the baseball episode was one of the funniest things I've seen. Those silly Americans...

[omen]

lol, chea.. Only two more to go :sad: Oh wellz all good things must come to an end. Can't wait for next one, Fuu has maybe a 98% chance of surviving that attack.....and M&J are about to fight one of the best out there. They can't help her so I hope her dad does.

We gonna loose more than one of them..... leaving only one Surviving :face82: heh naw I dunno.

Well shinsen seems much faster than a-f but still a-f's releases seem better if we compare the quality.
Btw, there was smt. on [a-f] web site that made me laugh a lot which is about fan-sub releases.

[Freya]

I really liked Samurai Champloo. Very entertaining. The fight sequences were great too. All the slashing with swords, cutting things up and break-dance fighting...ah the memories.

I want to own this one but I keep trying to find it for cheap and I can't. Dang it all.

The last two episodes are worth the entire series two times over. For a short 24 ep anime (I usually prefer 50 ep ones for rounder stories) it was a very well done and fun anime.

I prefer the subbed over the dubbed but the dub isn't that bad. It's fun to hear Mugen "growl" as he speak in the subbed version, fits him so well.

So now that I brought this thread back to life, who wants to chat about Samurai Champloo? :)

I'm a HUGE Cowboy Bebop fan, so Champloo appeals to my tastes very well. It was a great anime and I really loved the characters. And over course the music gave it nice style. My favorite aspect were the fight scenes though. The contrast between Mugen and Jin was also great.

Anyone notice the fact that the type of glasses Jin wears hadn't even been invented yet back then? XD (glasses were very uncommon, period, but his are a little ahead of their time)

[silverwolf801]

alot of aspects of that show was ahead of it's time. I didn't really liked when they split up in the end though. it made me so sad

[Jooliyan]

can any one give me a rating of the show from 1-10

i remember watchin one episode but i cant seem to recall much.. is it worth checkin out?

As of right now you aren't allowed to do anything else until you watch Samurai Champloo. It's great and I give it a 9.

[Jooliyan]

excuse me while i go watch

[Freya]

I would give it a 9 out of 10. I really really liked this show. The way that the characters played off each other was great. Poor Fuu always getting jealous of the guys going to brothels hehe.

[Jooliyan]

heheh alright shhh i must concentrate

[Kamina]

I would give it a 7/10. Storyline didnt really exist, but the small arcs were fun to watch. I still havent finished it yet, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes samurai-style anime.

[Kryptin2007]

Im gonna go with a 10/10 -

Reasons are - I did think there was a story line and that it followed it pretty good the reason it may not seem like it is because they dont go into any real detail about the past in it. Which made you go crazy trying to think of who and what the Samurai that smelt of Sunflowers is or looks like I enjoyed this Anime alot - it has alot of slapstick humor which makes it even better with all the action seens in it :)


My 2 cents

[Manchester Black]

I would give it a 7/10. Storyline didnt really exist, but the small arcs were fun to watch. I still havent finished it yet, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes samurai-style anime.

Watch the last two episodes and I bet you'll bump your rating up.

[Freya]

Agreed. Like I said b4 the last two eps make the whole series. I just watched them again the other day and I was still amazed at all the action and the way the story flowed in those last two eps.

[Kamina]

I used to feel this way, but I cant justify the greatness of a series based solely on its conclusion. Its the journey not the destination.

It probably does in fact deserve a 7.5 or an 8, but from my enjoyment level, I give it a 7. It had more potential than it delivered.

[Kryptin2007]

It was a interesting way to end the story really, give you basically only a smige of the past and then bam throw it all at you in the last few episodes not many anime do that that i have seen, which is one of the reasons i liked it :)

[Freya]

I liked that too. And I really liked that the main story wasn't in the foreground most of the time. I liked that each episode was a stand alone. They were funny. :)

[Kryptin2007]

Yes they were very funny :D

[Esca]

My favorite episode would be #15: Bogus Booty. It's hilarious.

[Freya]

I know there wasn't any definite "ship" in the anime, but did anyone else get the feeling that in the last eps Mugen wanted to save Fuu in a more than a friend way? Plus I honestly think that Fuu was in love with Mugen by the end of the series. Even though if she had to choose between the two Jin would be better. But there is something so Smexy about MugenXFuu.

[Manchester Black]

I liked that too. And I really liked that the main story wasn't in the foreground most of the time. I liked that each episode was a stand alone. They were funny. :)

A trait that it shares with Cowboy Bebop. I also really liked this aspect of it as well.

[TallDarkRandom]

i absolutely love this anime, it has all the right ingredients the flow of the story is genious putting everything into the last 2 episodes and the soundtrack is just :musak:
9/10 purely because i think there should be more series's

[silverwolf801]

yea I loved the episodes that played those special song endings at the end. especially the episode with the baseball game against America. that was the best

[Freya]

I really liked the episode when that woman promises Mugen that she'll sleep with him if he helps her take care of some guys. In the end he doesn't get any, but it was funny watching him run around like a mad man becuz he was so hard up for sex. lol

:kamina:

[Hime-chan]

omg this is one of my favorite animes. I could watch every episode over and over again that's how much I loved it :)

[Night Prowler]

My favorite episode would be #15: Bogus Booty. It's hilarious.

Same :D.

Wish they did an ep where it showed what the 3 of them are upto like 3 years in the future so we can see Mugan with the Ninja girl :p.

[Neko Rae]

I finally picked this anime up again. it's okay but it still kind of bores me

[Hime-chan]

really !? man I love this anime, I really want to read the manga online also but I can't find it anywhere :(

[Neko Rae]

well, I'm only on episode 5. maybe it gets better later one. Mugen is pretty awesome.

I'm sure the manga is somewhere

[Hime-chan]

I hope I find it...but my fav out of the two boys is Jean ^_^

[SLVR]

I always liked episode 21. I really liked the series. I liked it better dub then when I was watching it subbed. I wasn't surprised when I heard it wasn't that popular in Japan

[Neko Rae]

I've seen some of the dub. it was better than most dubs. but the girl's voice was really annoying

[Funkfreed]

Watanabe hit the jackpot again, imo.

Even if it wasn't that popular in Japan, it's one of my top 5. Right up there with Watanabe's other hit: Bebop.

[Jead Lionward]

Ah, yes, Samurai Champloo.

Loved the music in this anime and the dubbing. Steve Blum is an amazing voice actor. And Nujabes, FORCE OF NATURE, fat jon and tsutchi had they're best tracks liad out in this anime. As for shing02. The music was one of the main reasons I was drawn into Samurai Champloo.

[Sarynthra]

if it bores you than you like bad anime,seriously.
this anime is perfect,probably my favorite so far.

i just watched the whole dubbed series with my girlfriend and she really liked it.
a few years ago i watched the whole series subbed after my friend said it was cool and fell in love.

STEVE BLUM is PWNAGE!!!!!

[Neko Rae]

I never thought it was super boring, just a little boring. It's getting a little better now

[Sarynthra]

I still don't know how you can even be a little bored of the first episodes,there really good.

[Sendivoge]

Samurai Champloo is a favourite of mine. The only episodes i didn't think were that fantastic was the Baseball episode and the meteor episode, both of which were still enjoyable. It ended well.

[Tsukuyomi]

I loves me some Samurai Champloo. XD Althought, I should work on watching every episode I haven't seen, instead of reading descriptions in a book I bought. :/ Did anyone else know they made a manga about it?

[Neko Rae]

I've watched 17 episodes now and it is pretty good. I should finish it today

[Freya]

Yes, I read the manga too, interesting take off of the Anime.

I love this series as I have stated before in this thread.

One great thing about it is that it is great Subbed and Dubbed. The dubbed version is done really well and the action and humor is excellent. One of my favorite series I've seen.

[Neko Rae]

I've finished this now. I liked the last few episodes best. 23 was really funny

[M_A]

i liked the one where they burn the weed field and get high. i lol'd. =]

[Neko Rae]

Yeah, that one was awesome too. It was a pretty good anime ^^

[Jead Lionward]

Wait a moment, there's a manga after the events of the anime? It takes off were the anime ended?

[Neko Rae]

I thought the manga was different from the anime

[SoundWave]

Yeah the humor was excellent.. One of my favs too :]

Loved this scene

v

cjjXwsohoeU

[Neko Rae]

haha, that scene was great

[Freya]

No the Manga starts in a similar way, but it has different little stories that were not in the anime, kind of like extra stories that "could have" happened between episodes and such. It starts a little different too.

Also, the manga shows a little bit more from Mugen toward Fuu that makes you think that it is possible that he did really "like" or "love" her; where as the anime doesn't so much. Even though there really isn't any romance in either the anime or the manga, often times I felt that it hinted that Fuu might "like/love" Mugen in the end. ;)

[Hime-chan]

lol well I still can't find the manga anywhere XD lol @ that scene XD

[Freya]

Yeah, unfortunately the manga publisher I think threatened to sue the free manga site and it was pulled from all the ones i go to. I think I was able to download it from Mangaupload. But I think that they aren't up and running anymore.

[Sarynthra]

just buy it at Barnes and Noble dude.

[Hime-chan]

^ lol...no XD
they said it isn't that much different form the anime anyways so *shrugs*

[Freya]

It's an ok manga, the anime is better IMO, although the violence is more gory in the manga :D

[Funkfreed]

I just bought the series...it's only 2 volumes long for f*cks sake >.>

[Neko Rae]

It's an ok manga, the anime is better IMO, although the violence is more gory in the manga :D

sounds like the manga is better to me : D

[Freya]

what I mean is the stories I don't think are as good in the manga, but it is more mature like most mangas are compared to their anime counterparts

[Hime-chan]

lol I think Hira liked the idea of it being more bloody and gory eww I hope I'm wrong XD

[Neko Rae]

You were not wrong. I'm crazy like that : D

But I guess the anime might be better. I don't know since I haven't seen the manga

[Gojira]

I love this anime. Definitely among my top 5... It has great music, animation, and an awesome story. Basically this is what got me into anime in the first place. I watched it subbed when it frist came out saved it and rewatched it with my girl just recently still just as awesome as I remember.

The final 3 episodes were just beyond awesome. I loved the conclusion to the series.

EDIT:Wait... Its a Manga? Does anyone know where I can find it?

i did the same thing except i watched the dub with my girl.

i dont know about online,but barnes and noble has it, it's only two books long but its awesome!!!! you should buy it.

[Gojira]

Heh heh, yeah... It was a pretty good way to get her to nerd out with me when I watch other anime. :D

I'll be sure to check out the mangas the next time I'm back in the States.

[TallDarkRandom]

this is the only anime i have managed to get my gf to watch and my friends, they all think its that damn good and this to me is what a great anime is, were people who dont really like anime love it

[Kamina]

I have found that when people who dont "really like anime" are willing to watch any good anime, they find it to be pretty good. Anime kind of gets a bad rep from people in general.

The reason why people are willing to watch this anime is because its just "cool". Stylish samurai who fight with rap beats in the background is just kinda badass. Its one of the less "geeky" anime.

[Abarai]

One of the greatest animes out there. reat music, animation and storyline. Was one of the first animes i watched and was what got me into anime. I didn't knopw there was a manga, i might have to go have a look for it.

[Sarynthra]

you know it's a fantastic anime when it gets people into anime after they watch it,did it to me and now it's one of my favs.

[Funkfreed]

I got one of my friends who is an anime n00b to pick up Champloo, and since I have the whole series on DVD I'm watching it with him.

[Aki-Agi]

I'm pretty sure my favorite part of this whole show was the baseball episode right where it's Mugan pitching and the last American at bat. I swear I've never laughed so hard at an anime

[Night Prowler]

Episode 15 was my favourite, the whole episode rocked! I hope they do an Ova and show what happens to the three of them now they've gone on their own journeys.

Or maybe one big Ova about Mugen :p.

[Hime-chan]

I loved the episodes that involved that blind woman, man she was tough .And I'll love to see that too, I'll love to see what happens after they've seperated

[raisins]

wow, i watch this long time ago... and yes, it's a pwnage anime ^^
mayb i should rewatch it again :p

[Hime-chan]

lol I've watch the anime so many times , I never get tired of it :)

[Jead Lionward]

The music alone is worth watching it again. :cm:
