| Loved the show.... but i just wish they stayed together ;o |
| I thought this ending was satisfying and uplifting. It made the series feel complete; they started apart ended apart. I didn't see it as a "sayonara", it was more like a "otsukaresama". I expected a sobering end, like Cowboy Bebop, but I was instead pleasantly surprised. I finished this series in two days and now feel like I just ate a large, warm, filling meal. I don't regret eating it, and I don't need anymore. It's a rare feeling, and one usually followed by a nap. Oldy said: Either make a good ending or a bad one nothing inbetween! .... Okay, what the hell? |
| Who wants Jin and Mugen to die? If Mugen dies, then what happens to the hilarious reunion between Mugen had Yatsuha? I suppose it doesn't matter since we'd never see it anyways, but doesn't it make you happy to think it could happen? Seriously, why such doom and gloom, not everything has to be a sad ending you know :) |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Overall, a dissapointment for me. There were few superb episodes but that was it. Main plot somehow wasn't very interesting for me. 5/10 |
| Love this anime and its a Masterpiece in my eyes. This show had the right amount of drama, suspense, comedy, and kick-ass samurai sword fights!!! The characters were amazing, the music was flawless and it even had Japanese historical references. The ending was also perfect for me, I didnt expect them to go their separate ways which is a happy ending. |
| It's really sad how the Samurai who smelled of Sunflowers died. Also, are Mugen and Jin immortals or something? They're always so close to death.. it's quite lucky of them. Anyways, fabulous ending. I usually don't like the endings where a couple or friends don't end up together, but in this case, it was happy and you just know that they'll all three see each other again. P.S- Haha to Jin and Mugen discovering that they're actually friends, not enemies. werr-y said: If you consider the fact that every time they got separated in the series, they ended up together again, the ending doesn't look so bad, does it? EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw everyone complaining about it in here. Like, the first time.. when they whispered to each other and suddenly ran away. Or in the mountain forest when she got mad at Mugen and walked away. They always end up back together, so it's not as much as a disappointment to me. |
 |
| Such a pleasure to complete this series. Nothing but excellence all the way through. |
| Loved the ending. I know they'll end up back together again ;D |
 |
| I think the ending did everything it tried to do perfectly, but what it was trying to do, in my opinion at least wasn't enough. I really liked the ending though, but after seeing Cowboy Bebop, I expected the ending to be perfect. Either way, great ending, great show. |
| My 3rd or actually 2nd time to watch a Samurai genre but this will be my #1. Everything is very detailed from minor (wounds, clothes, injury) to major. The fight scene was really amazing no bias and even if there was, they maintained it fair, no overpowered main character, though they survived but made their way through a tough battle. Nice ending.. happy ending though it seems sad that they will part ways again.. |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| I cried so hard, I really thought they will die. I'm glad it didn't happen, but I am still pretty depressed about hteir department. I wanted them to travel together forever... But that's just too unrealistic. Sad but good ending. |
Holland_Novak said: i didnt like the ending i can understand where everyone says they found the samurai now they are done.BUT! does anyone realize that they are being hunted down? what are you talking about, the guy who was supposed to hunt them (Fu and her dad, actually) died at the end. Its over. And 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. I just love that feeling, even now I feel nostalgic thinking about Champloo's ending and the song, although its been only 2 years that I first saw it (I've been re-watching random episodes after that) |

| "...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') |
| A great show so far! 9/10 for me, because only episodes 22 and 23 (really bad episodes). |
| Jin's cool with his hair down and without his glasses and in baretop! I think Jin will be together with Shino. Nice Ending but I want them to be together again. |
| It would have been more of a ironic ending if Jin and Mugen died together after their swords broke, but this ending was fine anyway. And their deepest desires had finally been fulfilled-Fu to find her father and Jin and Mugen to find an opponent worthy of them. To go any further was not necessary. (Jin looks absolutely hot with his hair down and bare chested! Like a samurai angel.) I give the entire series 8 out of 10 only for a few annoying filler episodes. But the ending backgrounds are the most beautiful that I've ever seen in any anime. Worth re-watching! |
 |
| That was a wondeful way to end this series. Everything down from the music, animation and minor characters were done great. It's a pity they had to go there separate ways but they will meet again since they have become best of friends. |
| A very great ending. I was really hoping it would end like this, I thought that it may of been a sad ending (but beautiful) with the characters dying, except perhaps Fuu. KitaTsuki said: Loved the ending. I know they'll end up back together again ;D I believe that as well, they will definitely end up meeting again. |
| Finished the series about 30 minutes ago for the second time and I am still smiling. I had to up the score from a nine to a ten. Shinichiro Watanabe is a freakin' genius and the last three episodes are the icing on the cake. Samurai Champloo has to be one of the most perfect anime series I have ever seen. |
| I was skeptical at first about whether to watch this anime or not. But then, I started to like it and now, it ended. Everything to this anime was great, such as the characters, animation, and the plot. I will def. miss this type of anime |
| Well, that sure wasn't a surprise ending at all. Predictable yet enjoyable. I had the feeling throughout the series that Fuu was in love with Mugen, but it got a bit awkward when Yatsuha said she was going to marry him one day. Oh well Jin, forever alone. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| 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. |
 |
| I'm really sad it just ended, I'm thinking of re-watching it. |
| 夜露死苦 http://mochichandiscoversjapan.wordpress.com/ Visit my Japan adventures' blog. =3 |
| Yey! A happy ending. Well, they didn't all die at least! After a long journey they go their separate ways, and continue travelling! Well, as the bird implies at the very end, they have their freedom, and will roam as the fancy takes them. Would like there to be an OVA of this where chance has the three meeting up again for a one off encounter with much hi-jinks! |
 |
| My favourite arc of the series was definitely ep 11. and 20-21. I have no complaints with the ending, i'm sure they will meet again. Awesome sword fights, my favourite seiyuus and loved the historical referencies and the mix of the modern and the feudal Japan. 9/10 |
| i really good, anime... the ending was good to! |
| Really enjoyed watching this. |

| 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. :) |

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. |
