As a guy who really did not enjoy cowboy bepop, samurai champloo was a completely different story, It is set in a pre technological age which is a turn on for animes like this because we all absolutely love our epic sword fights without someone pulling out a rocket launcher and firing everyone down. Samurai champloo does not have a very thick plot or barely any plot at all to be honest, but it does have three very interesting characters, while they act like they hate being together it is blatantly obvious for us viewers that secretely they love each others company.

Story:
Error 404, story not found. Ok, I lied there is a very small portion of story in this anime but not much unless you count 'to search for the samurai that smells of sunflowers' as a story which I guess you could, it's mostly episodic apart from the last few episodes which have a connection of plot in them.

Art: The art in this anime is perfect in my opinion, in the sense that is exactly what the anime is looking for, a pre technological age type of art that sets the time of the story, it is not the best art in anime history because it is not meant to be, in my opinion the anime producers got exactly what they were going for with the art of the anime.

Sound: Some days, some nights, some live, some die in the way of the samurai! The opening is insanely good I find myself singing it a lot even if it has been a while since I finished this anime, it is in english which is different from the normal japanese. It has good music in the epic fights and the sound matches the environment the characters are currently in well

Character: This is the most epic part of the anime, the characters. These are not your typical anime 'rejects or losers' who grow to become badasses as the anime progresses, these characters are actually badass from the start and are naturally stronger than everyone they come across which is good to see once in a while as we are used to the old 'get owned at the start then make a comeback' sort of thing. The girl has a way of getting sold to a brothel in almost every episode which is humorous. It is very satisfying to see Muden and Jin just completely wreck everything that comes in their way as I said before, we do not get to see this very often.

Enjoyment: Very enjoyable anime, not a brain teaser, very relaxing to watch if you want a break from the very intense and dramatic animes.

Overall: A recommended watch, if you love your samurais (and who doesn't).....(except yugioh players haha) then what are you waiting for? Go and enjoy this anime as much as I and a lot of others have, have fun!
