| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cant believe this, another pointless, boring episode... Baseball game with americans, wtf? I hope last 3 eps are not that bad... :((( |
 |
| Oh ? As for me, I loved this episode, the sensation not to be taken seriously. I think in any case that it is one of the funniest of the series ! =P The end is great ! ^^ |

 |
| This episode was completely pointless, yet I loved it! It was so funny, and the whole non-continuity is hilarious. However, I hope the last 3 episodes have plot, since it is the end of the series :( |
| Pointless - Yeah Fun to watch - Hell Yeah~ I love those 3. lol |
 |
| When rewatching Samurai Champloo I always omit episodes 22 and 23. Total filler that takes away from a great series. |

You should just accept every episode really, infact, in a weird way this is more 'canon' if you will, than other episodes, because the whole hook behind Champloo is the melding of modern and historic and you cant get more juxtoposition than Americans playing baseball against Japanese. Champloo was never about a narrative we're meant to follow, and its almost not even like Bebop with characters driving the show. Champloo is just a random remix of Japan itself; past and present. Watanabe has the sense to end the show with character interactions and conflict but we as viewers shouldnt feel bored when they're not on their flimsy 'mission', we're just observers of a unique representation of Japan really. |

| Heh, this is funny. I consider Episode 23 not only one of the best episodes in a masterpiece of a series (Samurai Champloo), I consider it one of the absolute best episodes in anime history. It is an absolutely funny, brilliant gem of an episode. I challenge anyone to name me a single anime episode, from any series, that is funnier than this one. Hell, have any of you ever seen the classic Shaolin Soccer by Stephen Chow? The 23rd episode of Samurai Champloo is a baseball version of the same, except understandably shorter, but every bit as hilarious. |
| This show is all about the filler If you cannot accept that, then stop watching it..... |

(And no, "anachronistic comedy" doesn't count, since that's 60 percent of the entire series) Otherwise, shut up. |
| i thought this episode was hillarious and was especially good compared to 22 =P |
 |
| Hilarious. Second best episode so far. Better than the rugby Fumoffu episode. 5/5 |

Eyn said: What's wrong with you fan boys? This episode almost made me stop watching the show.... So if people don't agree with your level of enjoyment of the episode, they're just fanboys who love anything Champloo-related? Grow up. |
| wow pretty controversial. well i didnt mind there being a filler, and it was quite a gd one cos it was pretty funny, but i guess it was a little unnecessary and didnt fit in with all the other episodes. they should have made 22 and 23 OVAs/extra DVD episodes. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I felt like this episode would have fit better earlier in the series. It seems a little weird to have it at the end. :/ |

| LMAO I laughed throughout the ENTIRE episode. Lmfao, the way they portray Americans was just BRILLIANT. The way the American guy spoke Japanese was ****ing hilarious Oh man, and Jin owned so much LOL ~Abs |
| Man this was one to remember, those hardcore fanboys whining about "This filler sucked *****" sure don't know entertainment. And lol at the end. |
| This episode was great! I've never laughed so much from 1 single episode. |
- Signature Removed - The signature seriously lacked "It's a Sony" qualities. |
| I was like not another filler, cause of the previous episode which i wasnt too fond of, my its okay. i LOVED alot of the parts, i;ve never seen jin this spirited about anything xD |
| I really loved it! Just couldnt stop laughing! :D |
    |
| Wow, I loved this episode so much that I couldn't believe my eyes when I was reading some of the comments. Well everyone's entitled to their own opinion. This episode has all the great things that SC has all together. The mixture of new Japan with Edo era and all the hilarious moments etc etc. I'm gonna watch this episode again and again and I'm sure that I'll enjoy it every single time! Jin was awesome and so was Mugen! |
     |
| lol they had Momo-chan play... |
     |
| Now if only actual baseball games were this entertaining then it might actually be fun to watch them on tv. |
  |
| If all filler was this entertaining to watch, I would gladly watch filler 24/7. One of the most hilarious episodes yet. 5/5 |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Damn... japs really are bigots... |
adamantine said: I felt like this episode would have fit better earlier in the series. It seems a little weird to have it at the end. :/ I agree with this. There was a laugh or two but really probably my least favorite episode. I generally yawn at sports anyway so it was cool to see it turned into a full contact sport lol. |
| Such junk... |
| One of the funniest anime episodes I've ever seen. |

| Why did Fuu suddenly stop playing during the game? |
 |
| fucking class. |
| I liked the episode, but adamantine said: I felt like this episode would have fit better earlier in the series. It seems a little weird to have it at the end. :/ I agree. It did make me laugh though. XD The way Americans are portrayed in this series... |

Quoted for truth. While I will most certainly skip last episode in an eventual rerun of the series, I will not skip this one. Ridiculous and silly? Yes. Pointless? No way. Indeed one of the funniest episodes in Samurai Champloo, but far from the best. |

| One of the best comedy episodes i've ever seen. |
| This episode was okay. I didn't find as hilarious as everyone else. Nothing tops the episode when Mugen got high off of the opium. xD |
 |
| I don't know if it's my lack of interest in sports which makes me not get the funny part in this episode :P Anyway Momo-chan was really cute running away ^_^ |
| lol by far the most funny episode of the series so far ;) Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I HATE BASEBALL but this one is an exception Ninja and Samurai style game haha Lol I didn't expect Mugen to counter-hit the ball Funniest episode yet |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| So yeah, maybe it was piontless, but I loled so hard. Come on, you people dont have sense of humour. Besides, I would not call it filler, because Samurai Champloo never had actual storyline. |

| One of the greatest episodes so far. Can't remember when i laughed so hard last time. |
 |
| Don't think it was that funny. It had some moments that made me smirk a little but thats all this episode had to offer for me. I just don't have the feeling that this kind of episode fits in Champloo (even though it is a rdiculous anime). I'd rather want episodes that more are connected to the time they are in. They must not be all serious but can be if needed. Just like some episodes we had already. |
| Even though it was pretty pointless this episode was miles better than the last one :P |
