The Official Samurai Champloo thread!!!

Finally, someone else! 😄

that episode on sat, wieeeeeeeeeeerd

Yeah, is that guy dead or not?

damn it i wish Samurai Champloo had a box set! crybaby I just started watching it a couple of weeks ago.... I didnt really thnk i would like it, actually i saw bcuz there wuz nothing else on.. I mean hip hop and anime? im a huge hip hop head but the idea was sorta dumb to me, it just doesnt mix. but then i heard that the person that wuz behind Cowboy bebop was behind this and well i decided to give it a chance... and i likey ^_^ rofl

they already do have the first season on DVD just use search/// But any ways that show on Saturday was another GREAT show. but does that mean the seasons is over due to the music at the end of the show

theres another season? ive looked it up on amazon and they have it by volumes....4get it ill just see if i can find a chinese import! rofl ^_^

That guy was cool...walking around on fire....

The question is now is he still alive?

Awesome that there's a thread for this. A friend sent me Samurai Champloo (all 26 eps), so I watched them subtitled (but I still watch the dubbed AS version.)

This is a spectacular series. I love the contrast it has between an archaic Samurai story, and the atmosphere given by its modern hiphop soundtrack. (Cowboy Bebop, by contrast, blended a science fiction story with a more dated music style).

I haven't read every page in this thread, but if someone hasn't said it yet: "Champuru," is the Japanese verb "to mix." Champloo is a distortion of that word, making the anime title translate to "Samurai Mix."

My favorite character has to be Mugen. I really like his flashy fighting style, and obviously his attitude. Minor characters I like were Manzo the Saw, Shouryuu (the villain from #10 who'd trained in Greater Asia), and that undead minstrel guy from the episode with the meteor. Watanabe really can infuse his cartoons with atmosphere, so that even these minor characters stand out.

O.k. I was wondering if that was the last episode, cause I would have been pissed if it was. So that wasn't right? That wasn't episode 26, was it?

ok it said TO BE (or not to be) continued
so we really dont know!

Hes alive because Mugen thinks he alive adn the creators wouldn't do that to us would they?

But they did do a sad ending on Cowboy Bebop.........

really???

I don't think Mugen would have said or thought anything if he wasn't still alive. I think it's like, you know, those little mystical clues they give you.

sub conscious sumthing or another

Naw i think he'll pop back up in the story somewhere

I agree...

or maybe he's not

I don't think he's important enough that he'll show up again...It's like those 'you figure it out kind of thing'. As for that girl on the other episode that said she was going to marry Mugen, I hope she was joking. I think that Fuu and Mugen would make a cute couple. 😍
