Hello there. Trying to find out more about Samurai Champloo to see if you want to watch it? Well, let me start by making this clear: you MUST watch this anime!
There are enough sources about the general storyline, so instead I will just say that it is well-written, coherent, well-paced, and absorbing! Our three heroes, Fuu, Jin, and Mugen, go on a great journey, and will take YOU along. They travel through Japan, encounter many kinds of people, and get to do many interesting and funny things besides fighting. The numerous intentional anachronisms you can find bring a great touch of humour. You get to

learn a lot about Japan too.
The character development is amazing. The main characters have distinct personalities, styles, and pasts. They form an unlikely trio considering how different they are. Fuu, Jin, and Mugen grow throughout the episodes in a very pleasant way. You will get attached to them. The other characters they encounter are for the most part very eclectic and add to the fun.
The music is some of the best anime music out there. There are a huge number of songs that bring the anime to life, give it rhythm, and are very recognisable. In fact the OSTs are well worth owning (downloading them is fairly easy too).
The art is nothing mind-blowing, but it is good and perfectly suitable for this anime. The battles are particularly interesting. The only bad detail that bothered me in some poor CGI that was used for about only 10 seconds total.
How did I enjoy this series? I watch Champloo every year. Enough said.

It is also my first review (yes, I love Champloo THAT much!)
