Favorite samurai anime

Which is your favorite samurai anime
If not listed specify other

i wouldn't exactly count Bleach as a samurai anime, that's like saying Advent Children was a samurai movie just because Sephiroth used a katana

Out of that list, i'd say Samurai Champloo or Ninja Scroll (movie)

I put bleach in there becuase some of the people from the soul socity fight like samurai, and becuase it is popular.

true, but i still stick with the Sephiroth point

Bleach is more of an occult anime

Well there is more that links bleach to a samurai anime than just the swords so comparing it to advent children is apples and oranges. So bleach stays on the list.

I love kenshin, but I have to say Champloo. Those last 10 or so episodes really blew me away. Also, I'm eagerly anticipating Afro Samurai when it comes on spike in January.

i wasn't comparing it to advent children, i was using advent children as a hypothetical comparison to samurai anime, but w/e

and i actually was half-expecting Afro Samurai on this list, but seeing as it's not out yet which SUCKS since they said it would be out during the freakin' Fall

deeper kyo and ninja scroll mmm witch one to chose

rurouni kenshin the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! simply because of all the samurai themed anime i encountered, this is the most realistic of all.

true

I would have to say....Rurouni Kenshin...I enjoyed champloo...but it just was not as fulfilling as kenshin was. Rurouni kenshin was not only a bad ass but he was a kind hearted gentle man..all of the shows and movies were just more heart wrenching and action packed at the same time then any other samurai based characters out there.

based on your name I guessed you would say that, that I did.

lol 😍

Kenshin's actually pretty doused in fantasy, the only thing that makes Champloo less realistic is the zombie episode. Kenshin is probably the most light/warm-hearted episode on the list, so whether it's your favorite or not, people still enjoy it

Yeah but it follows real timelines and real locations in Japan so that adds an element of reality that isn't in most anime, they also incorporate new inventions that came out at the same time as they did in real life, like the steam engine and impact bombs.

Champloo actually gives alot of facts as well, about Bushido actually noting homosexuality as honorable, and the zombies that were portrayed were from an actual clan (it was one of those two feuding clans... Genji or Heike) and from the baseball episode you know it's around the time that japan is adopting western culture, so it somewhat hints out the time frame

Samurai GUn is also a pretty cool anime

Champloo.
