| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| Like the ending! There isn't that much impact on their main problem being solved but still, they made it good and i was able to enjoy it until the end. I also liked the fact that they separate ways.. ;D more realistic. demo, kitto, they are bound to meet again. :) |
Zell182 said: Watanabe is truly a master of ending an anime. True it might not have been as good as Cowboy Bebop's ending but, in my opinion, there never will be an ending that good again. I enjoyed this anime, despite the occasional unfocused episode, and the characters were great which I expected. The art was a little sketchy at times and the hip-hop theme didn't blend as well as the jazz theme did in Cowboy Bebop but overall it was good. 8/10. Pretty much cosign this entire post. My fav story arc is probably the blind, female assassin. 8/10 as well |
| hm.. that's it (?) It feels like something's missing. e.g. they could meet again,or they could meet "their" girls Yatsuha and Kohana. Overall very good show hm...8-9/10 Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| I first watched this show about three years ago, and absolutely loved it. Now that I've re-watched, I love it even more. Fuu, Mugen and Jin are by far the best trio of characters I've ever encountered. They complement each-other on every level, and I have a very hard time picking a favorite amongst them. The last three episodes were outstanding, IMO. They tied all the loose ends and gave a proper essence to their journey. I just feel it'd have been better, artistically speaking, that Jin and Mugen had died protecting Fuu, or otherwise they could have kept traveling together. |
| I think it's totally right to subscribe to this site just to post another message about the awesomeness of this series :3 I personally loved it. I mean it's not actually the style of anime I raise to the point of "godlike" (translation : It's however not next to my favourites). BUT still it was really a hell nice one :3 Maybe I'mma watch Cowboy Bebop one day, should I? I will. |

| I would really loved to see them continue with the journey.. T_T Anyways, such an amazing serie, 9/10 Overall + Adding Mugen to my favorite characters list. |

Higurashi said: I liked the ending, but it was so sad. I wish they would have stayed together. </3 I almost think the ending wasn't sad enough...I think Mugen and Jin should've stayed dead (if that doesn't sound too morbid ^_~). It's where the story was leading -- especially with the flashback to Mugen learning that "technique" -- and it felt like a copout to leave them alive. |
| I finished! Great anime, in my opinion, it is more realistic, although some very funny scenes and episodes. I was a little sad to see them separated >: |
| I'm SO glad that Mugen nor Jin died, I totally thought that was coming up. Great ending, made me bump it up to a 9. I cried when they collapsed as they tried to fight each other because I thought they had really died then. |
| Great end to a great show. Didn't expect them to go their separate ways in the end but I guess it doesn't really matter. |
 |
| I think it's a good end of their story. Thanks a lot for all feelings. |
| Loved this anime, great soundtrack, visuals, and story. Kept me interested all the way through. I did feel that little bit disappointed that they didn't stick together at the end, but the more i think about it, it made sense they moved on from each other. 10/10 for me. |
| Not the greatest of endings. It looked like it was going somewhere good, but it kind of fell flat. That said, I really enjoyed it getting there. The middle was a little slow at times, but overall it was a good watch. I'd give it an 8/10 but the baseball episode was more than enough to bring it up to a 9. |
| The ending I thought was great. It was very moving. I was sad to see them go their separate ways but it needed to be done. Their journey was over and their objective was completed so there was no need for them to continue together. A fantastic series imo. |
This was a great series. Character design was magnificent, the story was mature and based on historical facts, the fight scenes were superb and the hip-hop soundtrack was quite stylish. My only gripe was the sometimes completely irrelevant comedy. 9/10 series. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Oldy said: Even though I was expecting both Mugen and Jin die for the sake of realism, this really wasn't a realistic anime and that was made clear from the very beginning, so it fits the anime quite well.It was just so unreal for jin to escape death 2 times in a row vs the best samurai around while he got stabbed + mugen to be pretty beaten up and the getting a explosion in his face eyerok said: As for the ending, I too think it was fantastic and fit the series quite well. I entirely agree with this post. 5/5 episode.I seriously dont get all these silly comments about the ending not being good. It was thematically perfect. Given the nature and theme of the show, the ending suited it perfectly. In fact there could have been no better ending. It was both realistic (in that everyone has to go their own way eventually) and unrealistic (they all survived, miraculously). It gives off that special feeling that something really good passed you by, and its never coming back. Turin747 said: I also thought this way specially when Jin talked to her when they thought Mugen was asleep, when Fuu asked Jin to go yet cried when he actually did, and when Jin asked Mugen to go and save Fuu. I might be getting it all backwards though. ;)I guess I'm in the minority in thinking there was a hinted romance between him and Fuu |
| Not the best ending of an anime but nonetheless, this is one of the funniest and well executed series I've watched in awhile despite my somewhat initial dislike of the historical theme. The usage of the music and style just makes me want to watch more and more. To conclude: this series tried to be cool, it succeeded. |
 |
| Hate it when they drag out the ending like that for no reason/still not giving you the ending you were hoping for >_> I can only hope for a Season 2… Maybe... |
| Fucking brilliant. Time to go rewatch it. |
| I hate that they went separate ways. |
| it's a bit depressing that they went their separate ways but it's part of what i love about this anime. it's brutal and realistic, just amazing characterization that defies what an audience might want - mugen and jin are lone wolves and have love interests to go back to. they grew from this journey and they'll be friends for life but they have separate paths, which is very realistic. also im never going to get over jin with his hair down. |
| I don't really care if the end is unrealistic. I just love the main characters so much that I hoped so much they could have a happy ending - and they did. This anime was about style, creative writing and a lot of fun, so wrap it up with an ending which brought up so much emotions was great. There isn't so many anime around which can make you feel so strongly attached. Overral, Samurai Champloo is 10/10 for me. And I still don't know who I like the most: Mugen, Fuu or Jin. xD |
 "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
| Sigh. As soon as it was clear that all of them survived, it was very obvious they'd split up. Of course it was the "fitting" ending for this show. Still, in my view, it would actually have been anti-conventional to have them stay together! I mean, THAT would have surprised me! It also was throwing a weird light onto Jin's "conclusion" that these companions were actually what he had been searching for all along - only to leave them "rather" easily there (yeah yeah, not counting all those near deaths =P). I don't think it would have been too much out of character for them to keep travelling together. Seriously, I think they just want to see the viewers bawl their eyes out with these kind of endings. T_T Anyway, my perfect ending would have been just the way it was BUT THEN show how they reach a crossroads, each of them coming from a different direction. Close-ups of smiling faces --- fin! I'm a sucker for happy endings, I have to admit, but that wouldn't have been too cheesy, right. RIGHT?! :< Oh well, I'll have to go with the "they always met back up after separating" thought to calm my nerves. Champloo was a superb ride, that (for me) failed to do a few aspects perfectly, including Fuu's very limited "times to shine", the way the connecting plot was often neglected or shoved aside - which resulted in one or two non-satisfying aspects in the end - and few episodes that interrupted the flow slightly for my tastes. Of course it was intended to be episodic, so some of that is mostly forgiven. It was very well done and brought me a lot of fun, though I don't find it entirely reaches Cowboy Bebop's quality, but that is just my opinion of course. If I can say one thing for sure though, it's that Champloo was highly original. |
| It was alright. I guess going their own way was for the best. But as that happened, now I will want to know what became of them after their last encounter. Also I thought it was funny how Fuu fooled them into actually going to that journey by lying to them of the coin. She is really a funny and great character. And I guess so is Mugen and Jin. But I so wished they would have continued on the same path. 8/10 |
 |
| Great final episode, it's good that Jin and Mugan didn't die and that they finished their journey even though her father has been killed she had the time to say what was on her mind and to actually meet him once more! It's a good thing everything worked out again on their path, though in the end they've split up I'm sure they'll meet up once again! This anime was in general quite nice sometimes a bit unsure of what the episode had to do with the actual serie "like the gratify, baseball and zombie episode" but apart of that it was quite a nice run! A full 9/10 for this one! |

Pineappledishes said: If they killed eachother then that would just waste 26 episodes worth of character development. It'd be like if cowboy bebop didnt end the way it did, the whole show was kind of building up to it.I didn't really like the ending. Maybe it was because I wanted them to kill eachother. It just seemed empty to me. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Ahh, what a cool show. Super-duper style! |
