This was easily one of the best anime ever produced

People usually associate Samurai Champloo's OST with Nujabes but MINMI's endings are so good too, Who's Theme is a favorite.

Watching Samurai Champloo can sometimes cause me some type of mild depression. Thinking I’ll never know what happens with these characters after the final episode ruins me. The way they lives their lives, so carefree, considering their circumstances leads me to think if they’ll even think about each other again. It also saddens me because it’s also just how life should be. Keep moving forward. Be careful and enjoy life and what’s in front of you like they did. Take it one day at a time. One of the great anime ever, RIP Nujabes.

The ending song actually makes me remember friends I last saw over a decade ago. Makes me wonder how their stories, and their lives have gone on without me being in them. A slight wave of regret over losing contact with them. But also a second wave of accepting the flow of life, appreciation for the time I had with them, and a fresh motivation to look forward into the next chapter of my life, and the people who will be in it.

BRUUUH i remember watching samurai champloo as a kid and has been n my top 5 best anime ever since. I aint gone lie OUT THE GATE mugen was my favorite cuz of his personality and fighting style and still is, but I grew to love Jin over time so he my nigga too now and i also grew to love ol girl cuz towards the end of the show she was the link that perfected their trio together.. I DID NOT want this show to end bruh UGHHHH but all good things must come to an end....AND THE ENDING SONG WAS LEGENDARY BROOO, i literally dont know japanese rn and can sing the ending song WORD FOR WORD BAR FOR BAR. the ending for episode 26 was LEGENDARY TOO BRUH UGGHHH THIS SHOW WAS SUCH A MASTERPIECE

for those who don't know, this was made by the same guy who made Cowboy Bebop. so he was under HUGE pressure to live up to an already iconic anime. and as we can see from this comment section, he did not fail to produce yet another classic. as someone who started watching anime in the early 90's, there are some shows that are just nothing like the rest. that's why you have to try to share them with the next generation of people of culture :P

I love binge watching samurai champloo during the summertime,the series really fits the whole vibe

You do not understand how long I been waiting for people to appreciate this anime

Shiki no uta will always be a special song for me. I was away from my now wife, at the time when I was watching samurai champloo and it never failed to remind me of her. We were not together back then, yet, and it tore my heart to listen to this masterpiece after every episode of samurai champloo. I couldn't skip the song either for it invoked the yearning I had for her in me.

Best line of the show Gen: must be a womans emotion. Mugen: what's her problem. Gen: she's being sentimental. Mugen: she's what kinda mental.

So rarely did I ever, for the lack of a better word, feel anything from animation since Cowboy Bebop. Finding such gems that give me that same weight in my chest at the end is getting harder and harder.

I still remember when Toonami came back for April fool’s and that started the twitter campaign of constantly trending Toonami till it officially got brought back by adult swim and now seeing this video makes me see what we were all fighting for. The next generation being blessed by Anime just as we were during the early 2000s. All those late nights pleading and borderline annoying adult swim to bring back Toonami and then finally succeeding is one of the few highlights of the internet. If any of you ever have the chance to pass it along to the next generation after this one please do. It’s moments like these I feel we all enjoy anime and it’s impact on our lives.

Much gratitude for being such a goldmine of fun content to watch. Hope you grow.

Man, I was this show for the first time last year. I was stuck for six months unable to walk cause of an accident, but man this show… really helped me get through a huge chunk of that. I still remember 5 am when “Who’s theme” came on. Such a soul cleansing experience

I knew this show hit me deep when at the end I realised that the story took place 300 years ago and that now all the characters would be dead and felt genuinely sad that even if they survived and never got killed canonically their story has come to an end now.

It's always great to see a high quality channel that doesn't upload often finally upload

When I saw "Samurai Champloo", I clicked right away

This isn't my favorite anime, but one of my favorite pieces of cinema in general. Samurai Champloo is so damn underrated in this day in age. I can't even watch newer anime because of how good Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo were. I wish I could go back in time and watch this all over again for the first time. Watching Samurai Champloo literally brings tears to my eyes these days. It just reminds me of how good things were back in the 90's and early 2000's.

It’s in my number one spot for a reason. Not just the nostalgic feeling every time I go back to watch it but also bc it’s just so damn good. From the characters to the story to the soundtrack it’s got all I want.

Right on. The ending song has got to be one of my favourite anime songs, which is saying a whole lot considering how great the music of Champloo and Watanabe's shows in general are. I don't know what it is with Japanese composers concocting some of the most triumphant, invigorating, emotional or satisfying melodies in media, but it probably has to do with how exaggerated these shows are so the emotions you feel become exaggerated as well.

Samurai Champloo is just next level man!

Great video! I just finished this series yesterday for the first time. You encapsulated the meaning of the show and brought to light why I loved it. Thank you

Whenever i think of this anime, i remember how it made me feel, and still i cant discribe that feeling. Truly one of the greatest anime ever.

Champloo and Afro Samurai were so damn good when they hit i still havent got that feeling from anime since then, maybe one punch s1 reached that level of fire but not many since.

Wow, you summed up why I loved Samurai Champloo so much better than I could have put together in my own mind. That was a masterful 9 minutes. Bravo!

Absolute masterpiece nothing better has been made

Thank you once again for keeping on making these!

I put off finishing the last 3 episodes for 3 YEARS! Love SC so much

Best anime series ever. And that first Mugen vs Jin duel is the most amazing katana fight I've ever seen. It lasts less than a minute, but the animation, the direction and camera movements, the choreography and swordsmanship knowhow, the jazzy beats, it is all so perfect. You can feel the sharpness of their blades cutting through the air, you can feel the tension and how they both quickly learn from each other's completely different fighting styles. In the first few seconds you can see Jin almost tripped over and seems almost irritated when Mugen started "breakdancing" and then took a few seconds more to study him before swinging at him again. Jin is all about patience, efficiency and precision, Mugen is all about instinct, eagerness and chaos. But despite being perfect opposites, they have something in common: They both LOVE fighting

The impact with telling the mom her son is dead is harsh, because he’s the only one taking care of her and she’s blind and had a sickness if I’m not mistaken. Unless Fuu was to go back and care for her she would inevitably die to. Because the openings were Nujabes a.k.a. Seba Jun beats with Shing02 rapping. MINMIs music always brought a nostalgia about it.

Surprised by the sub count. The editing is top tier. I gues Google noticed I was trying to rewatch Jin-Roh and recommended your channel. Hopefully the algorithm and google's spy tech continues to bless you

Remembered? This show was never forgotten!

Samurai Champloo, to me, is truly perfect.

I bought the entire soundtrack to this master piece SO FAST no regrets music to exercise, read, sleep, study, and board game too

Been waiting for this 🙌

My brother in soul!!! Finally someone talks about the beauty of this show. Can't live without the ending song anymore. And it got one of the funniest beginnings of storytelling ever!^^

A few of things you need to understand about this anime is 1. Champloo mean "to mix" and is a reference to dissonant elements included- it's supposed to be a bit odd. 2.All 3 characters have their motivation very well explained as the episode roll on i.e. my personal favourite is ep14 where we come to understand Mugen and that lovely Okinawan song (lament of a fishing girl of who nothing to look forward to except maybe a visit from a secret lover). 3. The finale on the island, and the whole business with the Samurai who smells of sunflowers, is set during a real historical event of the Christian purges.

Every upload prolongs my life an extra month

I was 9 years old when i happened to chance upon one of the episodes way back, the music in the series was nothing i have ever heard of and i fell madly in love with it. I am a huge anime nerd now but i really wish the current generation of anime would make something like this again.

Oh boy I was loughing so hard with your last sentence. Thx for the nice episode :)

Your vids don´t miss man, hope to see more soon.

Thank you for doing this bro my favorite anime of all time doesn’t get enough love. Hope you keep growing

I grew up on this anime man! I don't even know how you popped up on my feed.. but im glad you did.. the breakdown you gave about this anime was awesome.. this anime was awesome! thank you

Bro that last line cracked me up, nice video

Banger video dude, good job

Your reviews are fantastic

impressive editing, especially with the sounds you implemented during the fight scenes

Samurai Champloo truly is the GOAT among GOATs. Funnily enough, when I witnessed the ending for the first time, I didn't quite like it at first, but when I did a rewatch as I got older, it honestly spoke to me so much better when I experienced more out of life that I actually teared up. It is very tough to say goodbye to your loved ones, but the time you spent together was certainly precious. Samurai Champloo nailed that messaging perfectly.

Man these edits are so sick

I love how you ended the video with those wise words , sick work 🤙🏽

Came here from your black lagoon review on my home page… You earned a new sub. Love the way you edit your videos, super enjoyable.

First video I've ever seen of yours No bones. Samurai Champloo is my all time favorite anime and was the first boxset I ever purchased. You honored the show and story correctly. Very well done sir.

This show always was one of my favorites

AYOOOOO WHERE U BEEN BRO! QUALITY WORK AS ALWAYS

Absolutely amazing video 👏🏽👏🏽

Brought me back brother! Awesome watch. Thanks 🙏

Your editing goes HARD

Great job sir 👏🏽

This is one of my favorite anime ever, I just found your channel, and you made me laugh. Good shit, dog

BRO REALLY UNLOCKED A CHILDHOOD MEMORY I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT! THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF THE ENDING SONG!! ABSOLUTE BANGER! Great memories!

Good video man. Samurai champloo has been my favorite anime for 19 years. Glad to see others love it too

Great video. You perfectly encapsulate exactly how I feel about the show

Great video. I was in my early 20's when this show came out on Adult Swim, fell in love with it right from the get-go even though I don't often enjoy anime. I still run through the whole series every couple years. Absolute classic.

Great video on one my favorites anime thank fam so underrated

Great video mate. You just got a new fan 🤙🏾

when i first finished this series, it really left me empty like no other show ever made me feel, it was as if im literally being left alone by them 😭😭

I've been watching your vids and its cool to see you hit over 10k subs already! I hope you get way more subs!

The appeal of this show is that it wanders and meanders. Life wanders and meanders. There isn’t a concrete plan or guided path, and every weird little misadventure these three embark upon is just a reminder that things don’t usually go according to plan in the real world. We play the hand we’re dealt, and we must choose to sail and drift with the winds that find us, or try to fight the current. Sometimes we win. Sometimes we lose. Sometimes our plans go exactly how we wanted, but we often miss an opportunity in the process. Sometimes our plans are destroyed, but if we’re lucky, something even better takes their place. Sometimes we’re left wondering what the point of it all is. Sometimes we see the point was there all along. Some people stay, some people go. Some people become friends, some friends become distant memories. Some live, some die. The world is an uncertain place, and this is outlined right in the first episode when Fuu has Mugen flip a coin to decide if they’ll all travel together. Is it chance? Is it fate? Who cares? It happened one way or another. That’s life.

Beautiful

just stumbled across your channel and i love it

Just finished this anime. What a masterpiece. Superb editing, and content overall. Good stuff!

Crazy how I relate to everything you said in this video I feel like everyone who loves this show does. You my friend just gained a new subscriber

Almost never post a comment but I wanted to give you props for that transition at 5:17. Went back and rewatch them a couple times smooth af

Samurai Champloo is my favorite anime of all time, A rewatch is well overdue

stumbled across your channel and today i'll be Binging all your videos while i draw. you got a new Subscriber for life!

The split up at the end ripped my heart out

The show was fantastic and your video about it's so good too, man

Holy shit the editing is amazing.

Excellent video

You got a new subscriber my guy

Top tier commentary!

GREAT CONTENT! I love Samurai Champloo too

Oh man, well spoken. I thought I would be the only one who experiences that feeling of losing/change while watching this show. Like moving away from my childhood home. No other show brings me back this feeling that strong. Somehow it's not just a sad feeling. I think it makes you realize how good it was before the loss/change... Is this what you call melancholy?

Man that song hits u different finally someone I can relate with….great content

as someone who frequently rewatched the anime and has watched practically every rundown of the show available on youtube, this is one of my favorites. well done sir

Nah homie. Your video quality is too damn high and your anime takes are too damn good for your channel to be as small as it is. Keep up the good work dude

Amazing content, thanks.

You've managed to make a perfect analysis of the show while being absolutely hilarious. Thank you!

Man...I don't typically watch reviews or whatever, but I read Samurai Champloo and clicked. Very well done! That ending song IS brutal, like your Feels getting fish-hooked and reeled out into the raw wide open. And yet, you click on the next episode to do it all over again.

So, there's this synthwave band called Gunship. They have a song called Dark All Day, its video clip is mostly animated and it's referencing a ton of 80s/90s/2000s movies, video games, anime and pop culture (mostly vampire movies, because that's its theme). The series of kicks Mugen does at 5:13 here is referenced, Blade (the vampire hunter from Marvel) does it at 1 : 59 in the music video. It's on KZfaq, go check it.

My man keep the good shit up👍

Samurai Champloo is hands down my favorite anime ever released. it just hits SO GOD DAM HARD.

Love this analysis and this show

love your videos short sweet and impactful

When I tell you I have pagesssss of fanfic of samurai Champloo, both smut and non, it’s ridiculous. This show introduced me to Nujabes, shing02, and the genre of Nujazz. I’ve been patiently waiting for season 2 since 2006 and I’ll wait till I’m 100 if I need to. This IS the best anime to ever be created. Nothing is cooler than samurai shit, jazzy hiphop music, crazy and wonderful characters. Mugen has been my main squeeze since 2006 & that won’t ever change. Thank you for using the music from the show as well, RIP Nujabes.

You made me revisit Samurai Champloo. I totally forgot about that show.

Yeah the ending song hits hard. First time I cried listening to a song was that track has my number.

This weird nostalgic empty feeling when the show ended makes me wonder about the lives of the characters who never exist in real world. 😢

Thank you for making these videos, I live in Hong Kong and I have never seen most of the anime's you talk about on this channel. But I have always been interested in knowing about them, and watching your "reviews" gives me confident to "invest"😂my time on the ones that seems interesting to me. Your channels truly brought me into the world of anime, I will be watching Jin-Roh over the weekend. Thank you again and keep up the amazing work.

Brooooooooo PLAYED THE SONGS 😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉MAAAN when i hear the traks of champloo i go crazzy. Nujebes and everyone else behind the sound board are appreciated
