A classic Samurai anime with a very cool, edgy twist in style and story-telling. While Samurai Champloo may leave you wanting more at its conclusion, it never falls short in entertainment value. One of the highlights is the soundtrack, which really pumps further value into the style and and delivery. Nujabes, now passed, crowns the peek of his career with his melodic, thumping hip hop that echos with a series that is just plain cool. You either love or hate the characters, but you'll always enjoy when the swords are drawn and the music gets cranking.
Check out a sample of Nujabes' work "Shikki No Uta" (Remix) and a tribute to the Champloo show:
