Samurai Champloo

[mizanation]

btw, i just saw samurai champloo in japanese. i have to take back what i said about mugen. he doesn't speak okinawan dialect at all. he uses new school rough shibuya talk mixed in with anime speak. i guess they thought it would be too hard to understand if they used okinawan dialect--or they figured that tough shibuya talk sounds cooler (which it does).

sorry.

cool series. i think the music is ok. loops are way too short and get anoying after awhile. trust me.

miz you deserve rep rep rep rep rep, but I am but one man

now I've gotta learn to understand / speak that Shibuya speak!

y'all should check out afro samurai wit samuel l. jackson. violent as hell wit sick beats by the rza and some of the best animated fight sequences i've seen to date.

story is kinda lame but, everything else compensates.

for those who STILL haven't seen it, here's a pretty good example of how cool the series is.

not much of an overall storyline, but some of the vignettes moved me. particularly the one with jin and that woman who had to become a prostitute.

Champloo isn't nearly as well-thought out or well executed as Bebop for soooo many reasons (were I the blogging type, I would do an entry on it). It's definitely entertaining, but I still haven't found it good enough to invest the time into watching the whole thing.

Props to AS's Anime programming dept though... they air a lot of trash (Erueka 7, sCRYed come to mind... I also find Full Metal Alchemist overwrought and uninspired) but they also take chances on some great oddball (arthouse?) anime series (Bobobobobobobo is totally incomprehensible but entertaining at times, Crayon Shin-chan is probably better in Japanese, Ghost in the Shell is fucking amazing, and Paranoia Agent is pretty great for what it is)

I thought Samurai Champloo was very entertaining if not for the incredibly drawn/choreographed fight scenes, but I have to admit not much about it really screams "amazing."

That one zombie episode was pretty trippy though.

yes, but male actors do ;p

bebop lacks focus in its style and scope, champloo doesn't, i much prefer champloo, couldn't even get through an entire season of bebop

The style of this animation was dope, good story and the characters had many layers to them
