This is a great series. It follows the adventures of Fuu, a fifteen year old girl, in her search for the samurai that smells of sunflowers, and her two reluctant bodyguards, rival swordsmen Mugen and Jin.
Samurai Champloo brings together classic samurai action and modern-day cultural commentary, in a slightly satirical fashion that is interesting and highly amusing. You slowly learn more about the background of the characters throughout the series, and though this is not as serious as Shinichiro Watanabe's earlier work, Cowboy Bebop, it still has moments that are very touching.
The animation is amazing, and the American dub is very well acted.
I love good anime and it dont get any better than this, a real lesson in hand drawn animation and why its still relavent.
Nobody does this better than the japs, character development is subtle and drawn through the story and the action looks great.
If you dont like this then theres no helping you.
