Okay, still reading? I'm honored. Let's get the review then, shall we?
Story: 9/10
The overall plot is that a girl named Fuu is trying to find the samurai that smells like sunflowers, and two samurai, Jin and Mugen accompany her. However, that's not really the main focus of the show. Every episode has sort of its own mini plot, and they're all fun and awesome. My personal favorite is the one where they play baseball with a bunch of Americans. I've never laughed so hard in my life. I had to pause the episode so that I could stop hyperventilating.
Art: 9/10
It's actually pretty good, considering that it was made in 2004. The fights are solid, and the sword action is fluid. There was really only one episode with a noticeable drop in quality, but that's about it. The rest was a wonder to behold.
Sound: 10/10
This has probably been said a billion times before, but what jazz did for Cowboy Bebop, hip-hop did for Samurai Champloo. The soundtrack is great, and the opening is fantastic.
Character: 10/10
Each character is unique and awesome in his/her own way, even the ones that are only shown for one episode. The way that the three protagonists bicker is pretty hilarious, and they all get equal character development as the show progresses. Mugen is my personal favorite. My personal favorite "character that showed up for one episode" was the gay assassin from episode one, who had one of the funniest lines in the show. You learn to love them all.
Enjoyment: 9/10
This show is so good, writing this review is making me feel nostalgic. You know what? I'm gonna go rewatch it now.
Overall: 9/10
Would laugh hysterically as Mugen beats the shit out of fat American men again.
