Title: Samurai Champloo
Post by: Beefy on May 31, 2005, 07:39:44 PM
I'm behind the times on this, of course.

This is the follow-up series from the creator of Cowboy Bebop.  It's trying to do a similar thing with melding genres, historical periods, and music.  When it first started, I was annoyed by it.

By the end of disc 1, I was hooked.

Recommended for you Bebop fans.  It's not quite as good (at least not yet), but worth sticking through the (possible) initial distaste.

Disc 2 tonight.  And maybe some Ninja Scroll.

I'm watching Bulletproof Monk again, which itself is a masterpiece.

I admit to that film being a guilty pleasure.

Major bump to get over - instead of jazz, this time the music, and often the editing, is hip hop.  Yes, in feudal Japan.

I was pumping this series on CH a while back when I was watching Fansubs of Samurai Champloo.  Great series.  Ends beautifully.  Fansub torrents are still available.
