so is anyone watching this? it's gotta be my favorite anime. Mugen just rocks :) and he's got the same voice actor as Zoro in One piece ^_^
Samurai Champloo
-
-
Has it started to air again? I've pretty much stopped watching anime all together, but this is one show I want to finish. O_ o If anyone point int the direction of a group subbing it, i'd be most gratefull.
One of all my time favorites, storywise its been though its ups and downs, some episodes are clearly better than other in that aspect. But what truly draws me in are the characters, and the style, animation & music. Bomb anime, strongly recommend it.
-
Awesome show, vol. 1 of the DVDs just went on sale in America.
Adult Swim is adding Champloo to its plineup sometime in the summer.
-
I heard the story gets interesting after 20 epis or so. But that's… too long before it starts to get interesting x.x
-
that's were i get it. they're at ep 20. ep. 21 was aired on Saturday if what a friend told me is right.
yeah the music is great. when i first saw an epizode i almost fell form my chair when i heard the rap :lol:
-
yeah that's a cool serie
love the style :D
Mugen is just great ;)
but the manga and anime are really different -

[snapback]2537[/snapback]You heard wrong, I'd say the show gets really interesting after 3 or 4 episodes.
-
As far as I'm concerned, it got interesting before the opening was even over.
-
I watched up to epi 5 or so out of curiousity… I even have it up to epi8... I even read Manga for it and was planning to scanlate it if they're good. But still... Sorry :( I guess the development was too slow for me.
-
Hey, there's no rule to like everything! Don't apologize, man.
-
This is a great series. I just started watching it a week or so ago, and I wish I'd started sooner. Such awesome fights and style. And IMO the plot was pretty good from the start.
-
Who plays the main characters voices on the Geneon dub? I would assume that they are using the same actors from Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun. How will the anime be on the Adult Swim? I thought that it has some pretty strong stuff in it…......was I told wrong??????
-
The guy who does Mugen, did Spike in Bebop

[snapback]2672[/snapback]ditto.
damn can't can't wait for the next epizode.
but the most laughs i had were in ep. 18 when Mugen learns to read and write and creates his own word
-
… I'm guess that inifinity mark is the one you say "his own word"? But then... Mugen also means infinity in Japanese, so I don't think it's not really a new word... o.o

[snapback]2840[/snapback]Steve Blum.
Sparky Thorton (Saito in Kenshin) does Jin's voice.
And yeah, Ep 18 rocked, it's probably my second favorite episode (after the one with NAGAMITSU!).
-
my new favorite ep is 21. stunning.
-
ore-sama favourite one is episode 15 :D
-
yeah episode 15 was really awesome :D
-
ive been watching samurai champloo since it started airing and was sad when it stopped for a little while
havent had chance to get my dvd of vol 1
steve blum aka david lucas aka 7 other names i guess wouldnt be too bad for mugens voice
-
Great anime, but what else do you expect from the director of Cowboy Bebop ;). The slow pacing of the story development might be a reason for soem people to not like it. But if you don't care for that, then this is one must see show. I've seen them all untill 21, but I still think the first ep is the best out of the bunch (Mugen counting on that dudes fingers gotta be an instant classic ^^)
-
I love Samurai Champloo, I've been watching it since a year ago… regarding the latest episode... (spoilers)
WHAT THE $&#@^$#^@_%(@&$@&_#^$@&$^#!?!?! !?!?!?!?!?!?!
What's happening in episode 22!?!? Was that some sort of joke? What did that red mark mean in the end? (where the dead guy shows up) Is that something along the lines of 'psyche'!? Someone please explain! ;______;
ps.. Inifinity has been the side-ways figure eight forever :P
-
21 was fucking amazing. My favorite was Johnny, the crazy fish hermit.
22 is out? I'd better hurry!
-
22 Will eat your brains and then blow you away! And I really mean that!
-
22 was a Valentine ep :D
-
Valentine's!??!… That's some freaky holiday then.. unless you mean Halloween.. I thought it was Halloween ep, but there was never any indication...
Also, what was the purpose of those mushrooms?
-

[snapback]12057[/snapback]**that's what is fun about it. a halloween ep on Valentine :D

:mellow: I have the episodes but I have only seen up till episode 6. or wast it 7? I don't even remember anymore.
The soundtrack is okay. I like the song by Minmi. The styles of animation is distinctive.
But other than that…I don't know. I don't really feel any urge to pick it up again. At least not anytime soon. The characters didn't really stand out for me or anything. They remained for the most part, just characters, they failed to capture my attention in any significant manner at all.
Hm...Mugen? cool, huh? Musta missed something. :huh: Maybe I should try one of these days to get farther into the series.
So far though, watching the eps of Samurai Champloo just makes me miss Cowboy Bebop. I liked it far better. Now Spike, Spike was cool. I love the soundtrack much better too. Jazz wins out over hiphop for me any day.
-
This series is close to topping Cowboy Bebop for me.
-
:lol: haha, I love Samurai Champloo XD Episode 23 was great. (I've never seen Cowboy Beebop, and I doubt I will since there is no space on my hard drive :P)
I just wish they'd tell us if the characters are dead or not at the end of each episode.. <_< .. Did the old man have a heart attack or something, or was he just tired? And did Jin get squished to death by that man's bottom? (I don't really think Jin is dead, but what about the old man?! :( ) -
finished watching the last eps. last night, great series
If you liked Cowboy Bebop, you'll like this series…. I was fairly satisfied with the ending
anybody else watch the last eppy?
-
Yea, I did. It was good. No spoilers. I feel kind today.
-
What do you mean by 'the last ep'? What's all this talk of "ending"? Which episode number is that? I watch the anime-forever fansubs, are there subs that have more episodes than them, or was 23 the last one? :huh: :unsure: How could 23 be the ending one? They haven't found the Samurai that smells like sunflowers yet… >_< .. Did I miss something important?
-
26 was the last episode. o.o
-
yes 26 was the last ep. AF is at 23 .. i don't mind waiting for the last 3, bewcause i know they do a good job not just some fast subs :)
-
Technically the only way to know if someone does a good job is if you know japanese.

[snapback]19407[/snapback]well download one and see why i nonjapanese person would consider their work good ;)
-
Ok…... They're both fine.
-
Oh. Thanks….. Hey, right, I remember reading that somewhere now...
I honestly didn't think it would be ending this soon. :( I really love this series. :( :( -
There needs to be a PS2 fighting game
-
AF does pretty good work on their subs, and they include a lot of good notes and information to better understand the episode.
-
Yes, I jst watched the first dubbed episode last night on adult swim and I have to say it's pretty good. I still like the original japanese version better though. Steven Blum did a great job as Mugen but I hated when Jin called the Daikan a piece of shit and they covered the word shit up with DJ scratching noises. Other than that it was pretty good.
-
I watched the whole series in my anime club at school, and it was pretty kick ass up until the end, and it has some of the best cracked-out episodes. I caught the dub on saturday and i'm pretty happy with it.
-
Samurai Champloo is the greatest series in the entire world. It has everyhing I love in this cold hearted world. ^_^
-
The dub was pretty awesome, my only qualm is that Mugen sounds a bit awkward, but Blum is probably the best voice for him.
I liked the record-scratch censor.
-
Shinchiro Wantanabe's Anime's always get good dubs… Conspiracy anyone??
-
I think my favorite episode is the one where Mugen tries to escape the priests, burns their marijuana fields, and gets everyone high off of the smoke. I laughed my ass off because that was the honest first time I had eve seen an anime charchter high on pot.
-
considering it is japan wouldnt it be opium cause i know china was corrupted by it. Steve blum isnt right for mugen. Zoro's VA had this attitude and these intangibles that he brought to the role but steve blum(i cant remember but he is the guy who does spike, right? forgive me cause i dont memorize names and i didnt really pay attention to the voices when i saw it)will always be spike for me
-
The DVDs are going to be released in the UK soon and I was originally planning to buy them. However I have heard some people say the series isn't worth it and is now making me have second thoughs. I loved Cowboy Bebop and I have a huge interest in samurais, but the last thing I want to do is waste my money on a rubbish anime series. Rental isn't really an option as few places in the UK rent out anime DVDs and the series hasn't been aired in the UK so I don't really have any other means of checking it out. Should I bother with it?
