I fucking love Samurai Champloo, it's my favorite anime of all time, I don't care if it can't measure up to Bebop (what anime can really?) its fun, the characters are a joy and despite being a hodge podge of various pop culture minutiae and Japanese culture and history it just makes the world more interesting.

Agree It's still a good anime even if it's not bebop It's well directed Got strong characters Good plot So it's not his greatest work It's like saying starry night doesn't compare to Van Gogh sunflowers Or kill bill isn't pulp fiction Sage is saying I believe You cannot condemn a work because of what comes before or after You can compare the two if One influence the other But an artist work changes with time and can vary like night and day

+TheSlayFer Ch. T. I liked Champloo but not as much as bebop though. I thought the best episodes were the baseball and brothel ones as well as the ending. I didn't really respond as much to the characters or the whole style of the show as i did to bebop, but then again i never was a hip hop fan. I liked Mugen, but found Jin and the girl (i forget her name) just okay. Still a great show, but not one i really find myself coming back to.

I think this is just an example of how Watanabe likes to structure the shows he's involved with. They generally aren't plot heavy. He tells character arcs in an interesting setting rather than focusing on an overall narrative. You see this in Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and even in Space Dandy (he was supervisor director for it, and his influence is obvious). I think the only really story driven series Watanabe worked on was Terror in Resonance, but even that focused more on character interaction.

I love how distracted from the goal they become. They have no way to find the Sunflower Samurai. No Facebook, GPS, anything. They just have to wander around with just whatever little information they recently acquired. It made the journey feel more genuine to me, and even further highlighted the growth of their bond - and highlighted Mugen and Jin’s honor as men. Despite just randomly roaming around with just a vague description to go on, they still stuck with Fuu. I don’t know if any of it was intentional, but it worked out. At least it did for me.

I'm glad I finished Samurai Champloo in time for this video. I finished Champloo about 2 days ago and I will say I like it better than Cowboy Bebop. What made Samurai Champloo interesting was its themes. In particular it's driving theme of obsession. It's everywhere and we get too see it in a lot of ways. My favorite episode was sort of the recap actually. It helped me get a better idea of how I SHOULD watch the show as opposed how I was. Granted Cowboy Bebop is on my rewatch list now that I own it so maybe my opinion will change in a few weeks.

Evangelion is pretentious because of how it shoves Sigmund Freud in your face and rambles on about psychology. Wolf's Rain has a complex plot, but it is not shoved in your face nor does it rely on name dropping a Hedgehog's dilemma. It involves a lot of deep themes, but it is all sublime. It is really one of the best Anime ever made.
@CornishCreamtea077 жыл бұрын
Well pretentious means you think you are clever then you actually are, Anno is an Otaku who picked up a book on psychology and decided it was a topic he wanted in his show. Keiko from not just this, but also Bebop and Tokyo Godfathers(Macross Plus I've heard great things about as well but never seen) comes across as very clever and talented. I meant to say subliminal not sublime my bad. Darcias role in the end is destroying paradise, or at least his eye does, and the world starts over.I never got the impression that the show didn't know what it wanted to do or be, it is probably most of that. And it eases it into the characters, plot and environment, without the charterers having to debate it in exposition. I think it will be forever be one of those shows with a big split in opinions, between those who love it and those who don't. Though usually I'm on the other side as with Ergo Proxy and Evangelion.

That man's style is so recognizable I love it.

Both Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo had some insanely good action scenes. Especially in Cowboy Bebop when they would shift perspective suddenly to get an interesting angle. I am starting to notice a music theme on both. It seems out of time period music is a thing in both shows. For Cowboy Bebop, it is big band and jazz in the distant future. There is even lore about how that happened. For Samurai Champloo, it is rap and beat-box from the future.

I've only seen a few episodes of this show on Netflix. I really liked it.

Can't wait for the next one. FLCL is, in my opinion, one of Gainax's best animes.

17:53 Lady, you haven't SEEN trouble yet! Give it about a century, then piss us off, THEN see what we do! Somehow, the overarching structure of the show was SO loose, few moments from it stand out in my mind: playing baseball with the visiting American sailors, Fuu becoming a geisha, and her finally confronting the Sunflower samurai (who I think was her dad).

Bennet...I swear I fall more and more in love with you! :) Hey, speaking of FLCL, did you know that they're gonna make two brand new seasons of it next year?

And the funny thing is that Fuu's voice actress went on to voice Artoria Pendragon both English and Japanese
