Default Samurai Champloo (if you hate anime... weellll...)

A self indulgent thread:



I was never really into anime (and there is plenty that I don't really get into), I found Samurai Champloo on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network) recently and have fallen for it.

It doesn't have the silliness that goes with some anime (weird distortion of faces during action sequences e.g.) and has some gorgeous backgrounds, awesome characters and a very cool story.

Geneon's Samurai Champloo site

Another cool site

It's directed by the guy who did Cowboy Bebop and has a funky, hip hop edge to it (I'm not into hip hop either but I like it in this context).

I haven't seen many of the episodes because it's on a 1:00 am and I shouldn't be staying up that late (although I have at times..).

That's all. Go check it out.
