Review

"Samurai Champloo" is a popular anime series that takes place in the Edo period of Japan. The twist? The series also infuses modern day rap/hip-hop elements into the time period. The story, so far, involves a young girl named Fuu who rescues two badass swordsmen (Mugen and Jin) from being killed. After they are freed, Fuu enlists the two men to find a samurai who smells like sunflowers (strange, I know). Along their journey, the trio encounter danger, fellow swordsmen, and people who are out to kill them. While the series may have an overly simplistic storyline, the colorful characters make the show come to life. The cocky Mugen, the serious and calm Jin, and the bubbly and determined Fuu are all very distinct characters. They are all complete opposites and can't seem to agree on anything, which is what makes watching them so fun. Of course, the show's main selling point is the fast-paced and bloody sword fights. Sure, sword fights seem to be in virtually every anime series nowadays, but they're stylistically done here. Note: This is a promo copy that contains the first two episodes (dubbed) in 16X9 widescreen and in Dolby Digital 5.1. No subtitled versions of the episodes and no extras were included.
