Product Description

Let’s break it down. Mugen’s a reckless sword-slinger with a style that’s more b-boy than Shaolin. He’s got a nasty streak that makes people want to stick a knife in his throat. Then there’s Jin, a deadbeat ronin who speaks softly but carries a big blade. He runs game old-school style, but he can make your blood spray with the quickness. When these roughnecks bring the ruckus, it ain’t good for anybody, especially them. Enter Fuu, the dizzy waitress who springs her new friends from a deadly jam. All she wants in return is help solving a riddle from her past. She and the boys are tracking the scent, but there’s ninety-nine ways to die between them and the sunflower samurai.

Amazon.com

Shinichiro Watanabe's film noir-ish sci-fi adventure Cowboy Bebop set a new standard for cool in anime in 1998, and Samurai Champloo, an edgy mix of Edo-era martial arts and hip-hop irreverence, is a worthy follow-up. A string of coincidences brings together three misfits in a two-bit tea house: Mugen, a rebellious vagabond; Jin, a taciturn ronin; and Fuu, a nutty waitress. The sardonic Mugen lacks the polish that distinguishes a classic martial artist--he uses break dance spins and flips against his foes. Jin moves with a polish that approaches iciness: When he unsheathes his sword, he becomes a lethal work of art in motion. Fuu forces Jin and Mugen to help her find a mysterious samurai "who smells of sun flowers." As the ill-assorted trio wanders towards Nagasaki, Watanabe treats the audiences to a string of outrageous, anachronistic adventures. In Episode 18, Mugen belatedly learns to read at a smackdown elementary school, while Jin tries to settle the rivalry between the heirs to the dojo of his former sensei. The seemingly unrelated storylines collide in a no-holds-barred graffiti contest featuring Tokugawa rap lyrics, ink-brush tagging, Hiroshima homeboys, and a caricature of Andy Warhol. But Watanabe reveals the hidden significance of these nutty interludes when he brings his picaresque adventure-comedy to a close. Like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo leaves the viewer wanting more. (Rated 16 and older: violence, violence against women, profanity, brief nudity, sexual situations, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Awesome series, and this upscale transfer is likely as good as it's going to get.

October 4, 2014

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

A note: This release is technically an "upscale" of the original master, which was done in standard definition. Due to the nature of the original compositing and mastering process, it's unlikely that this series will ever be in native HD. Essentially, the parts that made the master were digitized into SD originally, so the original master copy is only SD. So, unlike many films, there isn't an analog (or high-res digital) master copy they can go back to and simply rescan at higher resolution. (It's theoretically possible to redo it in HD if they rescanned the original art, redid the effects in HD, and then composited it all again onto an HD master... but that's a ton of work, basically producing the show over again. It was done for Cowboy Bebop though, but this series is not nearly as likely to get such treatment, since it's expensive to do.)

Awesome series, and this upscale transfer is likely as good as it's going to get. A great quality upscale though, as good as I've ever seen anyway. This Blu Ray version is still better than the DVD, even if you have a player that will upscale DVDs (since this is an upscale of the original master and not of DVD compressed video). Audio quality is great too, no complaints there. A great deal at the price it is, for one of the most original and great anime series made thus far.

Definitely recommend

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

I stumbled across this series a few years back trying to get my fix on some much needed anime. And let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. It's quickly become my favorite and I watch it over and over again. Beautiful art, animation and soundtrack. The characters are memorable and it has me chorting laughter a lot of the time. If you want violence, blood, humor, and vulgarity, this is your show.
The box set comes with 7 discs that has 26 episodes (sadly). I highly, HIGHLY recommend this series.

Fantastic animated series - not to miss

July 18, 2017

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This animated series is awesome in its scope and execution. Cultural and historical references are juxtaposed with modern music and story lines. Animation and music combinations are amazing. I recommend watching in Japanese with English subtitles. The subtle ways in which things are pronounced adds to the interpretation, which can be lost a bit with the English language translation into spoken words. If you get used to watching the subtitles, you will get so much more from the stories with the spoken Japanese expression. Every detail is perfected in this and you are compelled to re-watch to grasp all the subtleties and to enjoy the visual and audio of this series.

The Real McKoy

A Great Action-Comedy

June 7, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This anime series is about a girl named Fuu (the female in the pink yukata on the cover), who saves two samurai, Mugen (a rogue warrior; is the one wearing red on the cover) and Jin (a dojo-trained samurai who has abandoned his dojo), from being executed. In return, they promise to help Fuu get to the "Sunflower Samurai", whose home is distant. This show, unlike others where 20 minutes of talking is done and 5 minutes or less of fighting is done, actually includes action. It is also funny as well (and who does not love comedy?). '''''''''

Wreckin' it Ralph

One for the Collection

June 16, 2017

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

A very high quality anime with genuine emotion conveyed through the struggles of the characters within as they strive to pursue their quest through Feudal Japan. The historical accuracy is kinda all over the place, with references spanning the 1500's to the 1700's, but with artistic license and the stylization of hip-hop meshed perfectly to a samurai action series, this is a truly unique anime to behold. I cannot recommend this enough to any anime enthusiasts out there, or anyone who enjoys action personified through an animated style. I've watched the entire series twice now; it's a quality piece of work that continues to satisfy to this day.

It also happens to be one of my absolute favorite animes. :o

The Quintessential Action/Ronin/Comedy Anime

June 30, 2016

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

The Samurai Champloo: The Complete Series is the quintessential action/comedy/ronin anime for all you sword-fighting savants out there! This modernized sword swinging hip-hop influenced story breaks the boundaries of dark humor, action, and adventure, seamlessly blending a new age funk style with the classical setting and art style typical to many Feudal Age samurai films/shows.The art style of this show can be likened mostly to shows like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Bleach, featuring beautify lines, vibrantly colored set pieces with blurring, quick pace action sequences. This format of the Bluray is an AVC/1080p upconvert port, showing visible quality improvements from the previously released iterations fo this show sold a few years past.From the rich and storied musical selections, to the passionate, crisp English and Japanese voice acting, this show has something for all audiences. Great show, and an ever greater medium to watch it!

One of the truly great anime series.

August 8, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I've loved Samurai Champloo ever since I saw it on the Adult Swim block of Cartoon network several years back. I had a chance to get the complete series at Best Buy once but couldn't afford it at the time then it sold out quickly. I finally got it here on Amazon and watched the entire 26 episode series in 1 day in 1 sitting.
The main characters make for quite the unusual team. Mugen is a great swordsman but a crude, undisciplined wild child from a Japanese penal colony. Jin is a more traditionally trained, more prim & proper samurai who became a ronin (samurai w/o a master) and a wanderer after being forced to kill his master in a duel. They both want to fight each other to the death when they first meet but are captured and sentenced to death for various crimes until Fuu, a waitress who was being bullied by a group of thugs until she was saved by Mugen & Jin, saves them from execution on the condition they help her find her estranged father (the samurai who smells of sunflowers). They travel feudal Japan together while fighting off various enemies and getting on each other's nerves but eventually come away as close friends after surviving numerous trials & tribulations. My only complaint is that series is kind of Mugen-centric and Jin kind of gets the short end of face time in various episodes. But I highly recommend this series to any fan of dramatic anime.
