Synopsis

Mugen is a rough-around-the-edges mercenary with a killer technique and nothing left to lose. Jin is a disciplined samurai who's as deadly as he is reserved. Fuu is a young waitress with a good heart and a resourcefulness that emerges when you least expect it. These three unlikely companions are about to begin a journey that will change all of their lives.

It's a dangerous quest for a mysterious samurai that will see our squabbling group of heroes get into and out of trouble more times than they can count (which admittedly, isn't very high). From the cynical gentility of the nobles to the backstabbing of the Japanese underworld, Mugen, Jin and Fuu will face threats from without and within as they hurl insults and throwing stars alike. Ancient Japan is about to get a lethal dose of street justice -- Champloo style. And it will never be the same.

A constant in the anime industry is that, in most cases the animated series are based on a manga, a novel or a video game... but there are special cases. Samurai Champloo is one of the exceptions to this rule. Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (perhaps you know his previous work, Cowboy Bebop), Champloo was a great success, thanks for its excellent mix of action, comedy and hip hop music. And since this one was an original production, a manga was created to exploit another media. But instead of being a simple adaptation, this manga is totally original, with new stories read more

Both are set in a historical Japanese setting with modern touches. There is a group of three doing stupid things; there is the bum who drinks and doesn't like to work, but might actually have a dark past (Gintoki from Gintama and Mugen from Samurai Champloo), the glasses (Shinpachi from Gintama and Jin from Samurai Champloo), and the girl who has a very flat chest (Kagura from Gintama and Fuu from Samurai Champloo). Also, the humor style is very similar. . If you have nothing to do after finishing one, you can always try the other! :D
if you liked the fight scnes of this one ur gonna love the fight scenes of the other its epic
