In my recent purchase of the Gungrave volume3 DvD, I happened across a trailer of an anime called Samurai Champloo. Its from anime Director Shinichirou Watanabe. Famous for his work on, "Macross Plus" and "Animatrix: Kids story." More importantly for, "Cowboy Bebop". Well it seem as though he's done it again and has struck Diamond with his latest creation Samurai Champloo.


Well anyway I looked into it, bought the first DvD, and fell in love with it. Fans of Cowboy Bebop are sure to love this. Critics seem to agree that this is top-notch stuff and recommend it to anyone here.
Here a short plot summary.
QUOTE (AnimeNewsNetwrok.com)
Plot Summary: Mugen is a fierce animal-like warrior with a unique Bboying (break-dance) inspired fighting style. Jin has a more traditional style but don’t think of this as a weakness because his skills are amazing. The two contrasting samurai warriors are far from friends, yet their separate paths seem to cross anyways. Mugen is wandering aimlessly through the city when he stumbles upon a teahouse where he meets Jin and Fuu (A ditzy waitress, but don‘t think she doesn‘t have anything hidden up her sleeves). Fuu convinces them both to come with her in search of a mysterious samurai that smells like sunflowers and their journey begins. This modernized hip-hop tale breaks the barriers of the common, historical, samurai anime.


Here's a link to the official website.
May wanna turn your volume to 50%.Heavy bass.
