I loved samurai champloo. the idea of a "hip-hop samurai" anime was
cool, a bit of a cowboy bebop rehash but it was still intresting... the music
did have the potential to be phenominal but fell slightly short and yet it was
still good. the art was beautiful and the story was entertaining but not
something that consumes your life... if you missed an episode it was okay, you
could go back and watch it again, unlike other animes that you have to watch
every episode from beging to end to understand. champloo is a great anime and
deffinately one of my top 10
I really like this animation. I totally liked the 3 characters personality, the
dubbed was great in my opinion. I absolutely love the battle, especially the
battle with Jin and Mugen in the first episode. The Intro was unique with the
rap in it. The story was great. I was kinda hoping something more after the
ending and a little more fighting those are the only complaints I have. ^_^
On par with Cowboy Bebop and FLCL imo. Ingenious anachronisms and symbolic
visuals. Not to mention the top notch animation, good VA's, and genuine
underground instrumental hip hop.
Can't really go wrong at all with such a combination.

Exaaaaaaaaactly and
also like to add thaat characters were superb
SC, CB, and FLCL are also my favorites
hihi! i got watch a bit, samurai champloo is ok lah, to my opinion lah. the
picture not bad, but i want to ask that for that time, is those kind of clothes
are like that 1 na?
Yea Samurai Champloo is a good anime series but it isn't at the top of my list.
The series is rather short and plus the adventures seem to get sidetracked alot.
The drawing isn't the best I've seen and there are many things they could
improve on. I guess the fighting and the comedy skits pull it out of the gutter
but if you just look at the story line, Stupid girl tries to find what she is
looking for with "unique" friends, which is often not an orginal
story...
Samurai Champloo should be categorized as Comedy Action. As the theme of the
story is not so serious so it is most better suited to light viewer. It have
some hilarious scene although the fighting scene is not bad too. Overall it is a
good anime in it's own right.
it's unique style and absurd storyline makes it one of the best anime i've ever
seen.not to mention the high quality work they did on champloo.the drawings were
superb, at least as far as i could see.
and the fighting scenes were great, especially with mugen's awesome deadly
breakdancing its got lots of comedy, non-stop action in the wierdest ways and
even a little but of romance.i mean, each episode has them fighting for the
strangest reasons yet it wasn't ridiculous, it made sense
It's a great show. Its strong points are how it successfully blends so many
different genres and styles into a massively episodic series. Not exactly a
'legendary' show but still a great show not to be missed IMO.
Great ending, but I kinda hate sad endings, I thought I liked them but then
after a couple really dramatic endings I decided I prefer or everybody happy or
everybody dead, no melancholy, death is simple:P. Good ending, espected from the
Cowboy Bebop director
Its very unique and has large target audience. To do that successfully is a
challenge in itself. In my opinion it did do that quite well. Though as HB13
pointed out it has the 1 to 1 episode to story ratio which has its positives and
negatives. But by allowing both people who love anime and people who dont to
enjoy watching it automatically makes it a 'good' series. When you add in the
artistic style and approach it takes I think you end up with a great series with
a large chance of success in todays industry. As for calling it the best.... i
dunno about all that
I loved Samurai Champloo! ^o^ The story was very personal and not too serious.[
sometimes too-serious stories get boring...-__- ] I liked the fact that their
journey was about a personal thing,[ you know, about Fuu's ummm, spoilers...]
and not another story about someone trying to destroy the world or
something...^___~ And the art was great and I loved the music, especially that
ending song, "Shiki no Uta"! Overall, it's one of my fave animes.
I loved it! Hillarious!
Maybe not one of the best ever, but definately at the top 10 on my list. I undertook a marathon to just finish it - I couldn't stop watching.
I mean, sumarai rappers and hip-hoppers, doing the rappr thing in the handel of his katana - I mean, hillarious! It completely cracked me up.
It's an Okay show, but definatley not the best. I wonder how popular it will be when Hip Hop is no longer as popular as it is today.
It was a good anime, but it was not one of my favorites, not one I could spend hours on end watching unlike some of my favorite series.

hell yeah it was good, the whole story was good, original series. the thing i didn't like was the ending, when they just separate. how about you?
it is ok but it never got my att.

Samurai Champloo rocks. That is all.
yeah, i agree with what most people said in this thread. It was great. but not one of the bests. I liked how modern, yet old-ish it was. hehe

its so funny! i love fuu, jin and mugen! they're funny!
i'll rate it 4/5 (entertaining, lovely action, beautifull backgrouds)
they could have improved the ending music abit... not my type.
as for the characters, well... this series the characters are not near invincible.. or overpowered superhumans... xD
I thought it was brilliant. I liked the character developement. The art was beautiful The style was awesome and the fight scenes were sugoi! ^_^*

SC is still one of my most favorite animes that I've seen.

Very cool, very original. It was an all around good Anime.
