Samurai Champloo starts today in Japan. Anyone know if someone is subbing it? I don't know about you, but breakdance samurai fighting looks kinda cool to mei/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

The girl with the big boobs does not have big boobs, she has a certain paraphernalia hidden in the front of her kimono. In fact this show has nothing to do with ecchi (thank god!).

Seriously though, I just watched the first episode and I am hopping around like a bunny in heat, this show is off-the-hook!
It definitely fills in the gap that Cowboy Bebop left behind.
I like the hiphop style that is used in the show like certain rewind scenes are done in a form like DJ is scratching an LP. Speaking of rewind the first rewind at the beginning had me laughing.

The show also seems to have a plot surrounding the girl and a certain someone she is looking for.

well anyway I am a happy cat today!

I just watched the first episode... very promising anime...


I just hope that they have more challenging opponents, especially that samurai they are looking for.... I want to see them in critical conditions from time to time...

As for the back and foward scenes, I didnt mind them, but it doesnt seem like it will continue throughout the series since it seems that the main characters will be together...

Am considering giving this anime a try, and would like your opinion for which sub to go for - Bakafish, Aoi or AF-F

How bad are the mispellings in the Aoi version, which groups are putting up explanations / translating the signs etc

a samurai that smells sunflower.

You should watch this if you like Samurai anime

Have you watched both versions already? I've only watched Bakafish and was wondering which one you thought was better...

I download a lot from AF-F but to tell you the truth I dont like how they translate somethings sometimes... so if you could tell me which one you like more from those two it would help me out tremendously...

This series is really great, I would recommend it to any one.

Seeing as how this series is coming from Shinichiro Watanabe and the exact same production team that did Cowboy Bebop, I don't see how it could be anything but amazing. I've been waiting for this series for 5 years, I'm amazingly impressed with it.

Fuu's voice is done by the same seiyuu that did Mahoro from Mahoromatic, and also Osaka from the Azumanga Daioh "Web" short, along with tons of other things, but not Love Hina.

There's also a new Anime-Kraze verison out, that seems to top everyone else in terms of translation quality. So far, however, AF-F has released the highest-quality episode in terms of picture, color and sound.

check http://anime.mircx.com for the new A-K version.

Saw the first episode last night and wasn't that impressed. The animation was good, but I didn't like the disconnected feel that was presented. Maybe my expectations were set a bit high this early on, I'll stick with the series for at least the first five or six episodes to get a better opinion.

Wed, 05-26-2004, 02:17 PM
I like it very much. Animation is as sweet as honey, having the best art style I've seen lately, sorta reminds me of I.G's works, mainly Kill Bill anime part.

Story is slick, you have two great samurais wanting to kill eachother, but they have to get along. Their interactions are funny as hell ("that was a dream").

The humor simply gets to me. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Just watched the AF-F sub - they've done a nice job on it - explanations at the top of the screen, nice work on the opening / ending animation, and while I don't know enough Japanese to comment on the quality of the translation it certainly felt OK. I'm gonna watch the Bakafish tomorrow to compare the 2.

As to the anime itself - not sure about this one to be honest, figure I may give it another episode to see how it develops but my initial impressions were that it's not as good as some of the ones that have come out recently. If I'm not enjoying the second episode then I think I'll be giving this one a miss.

I'd say give it a try, but I certainly preferred Bebop to this one - my personal opinion and chances are others in this thread will disagree.

I dont see how anyone can put a comment on how they like cowboy bebop more than this, if you look at it, its just like the first episode on cowboy bebop, if anyone was around to watch them before they all came out.

Bebop didnt give off alot of story, but showed us what he was about to make. try not to compare the whole bebop series to the 1 ep we have so far. If you think about it bebop was at its peak later on, so be patient.

As for the Hip-Hop Into and end. I dislike Hip-Hop/Rap ALOT, but be professional here, that was great to mix those two elements together, new hip-hop with old samurai action, its just something id expect from someone who puts jazz into fistfight/gunfight (bebop).

EDIT: When's the new ep coming out?!?

Gods_Son

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop are completely different shows, and it doesn't make sense to compare a complete series to only one episode of another. Episode 2 will air on Wednesday, be patient until then.

I was wondering what you were talking about at first, and then I watched the episode again. GEISHA MOLESTATION FOR THE PEOPLE indeed!!!
Somewhat off-topic, but since Samurai Champloo airs on Wednesdays in Japan, is it aired the same time as Naruto or later than Naruto?

Oh, is Watanabe Shinichiro directing Samurai Champloo too? The actions scenes were really good. I thought the transitions from scenes happening at the same time to be pretty interesting. Though I hope they don't use the turn table novelty that often.

I enjoy rap a lot. Not the mainstream cookie cutter crap, - there are oh so many songs that you can listen to that talk about cadilacs, drinkin, and the honnies before you get bored - The roots, jurassic five, and mos def are some great artists. But I digress...The OP I heard in Samurai Champloo was terrible. I laughed so hard when I heard they're rhyming. "steel packed tight in microchip all over but the sign of all pro" -- WTF? It sounds like these people just threw in english buzzwords and hoped it would work itself out.

Edit:

Too bad that girl was a bitch and poisoned the samurai dude (dont remember his name)

Why do I have a feeling Jin's gay? i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

Jin isn't gay and there won't be any hentai. You have the feeling that he's gay, because you're an idiot.

He's not the one to be gay but the assasin..

Well, I'd be willing to bet Jin isn't gay. At most, Watanabe will keep his sexual preference questionable, just like he kept Ed's gender a mystery for much of Cowboy Bebop.

I don't think the assassin is either. I think Jin realized the assassin's true intentions for sure, however, when he made that comment about the fire flies. I just think the assassin was trying the same route to kill Jin as the woman used to try to kill Mugen.

I could be wrong about them both, though. I'll wait and see before passing judgement.

i liked the first episode better than this one
i think its kinda repetetive how when the not so bad, retard that everyone hates finally gets someone to like them, then they go and turn on the person they first side with and protect that someone. ive seen too many shows reusing that theme
jin is definitly not gay. when the assasin started acting gay, jin was like about to run away
other than that this one was ok
i was kinda suprised when aone picked this one up as one of their projects though

I have to say that I like Samurai Champloo very much!! I got it from here, so I knew that it had to be good!! I'm glad that it didn't involve much in the way of the....mm...how to say it....Like the Inuyasha Series does with that time period with all of the magic stuff. Anyway...I think that Fuu is funny, and that clip that has her running through the streets with those fireworks in her kimono and the placement of them was hilarious....Sorry if I spoiled something for someone, but it was funny.....

Hey, had anyone other than me notice that Mugen sorta resembles Spike Speigle from Cowboy Bebop?? I mean just a bit in his laid back style as well as animation?? Just wondering..

ShinobiNeko
Sun, 06-06-2004, 03:40 PM
yeah, Mugen reminded me of Spike in a number of ways, but if i'm not mistaken isn't Samurai Champloo created by the same creator of Cowboy Bebop?

Gods_Son
Sun, 06-06-2004, 03:46 PM
They have a lot of the same cast, so I'm not suprised people keep comparing them. I see some similarity in Spike and Mugen, but not much.

Mut
Sun, 06-06-2004, 04:09 PM
is mugen the guy with glasses or the guy that's all reckless?

WHO CARES, i see no similarities between spike and either of them. spike is too much of a cool cat for him to be compared with anyone.

ShinobiNeko
Sun, 06-06-2004, 04:17 PM
heh.. well Mugen is the reckless one

Aeon
Sun, 06-06-2004, 04:48 PM
The only simularity I see with Mugan and another character is that he sounds like Zoro from One Piece.

ShinobiNeko
Sun, 06-06-2004, 04:50 PM
yeah i think they might be using the same voice actor

i'm intrigued to know why AonE feel able to sub this show, which is licensed, but dropped gokusen when that got licensed?

I don't mind, even though gokusen was my favourite show for a while, but I just don't understand the difference...

I am grateful for the subbing of this cool new show btw, I just wish they'd finish off the last 3 eps of Gokusen too... <sniff>

Gods_Son
Sun, 06-06-2004, 06:01 PM
AonE don't really care about doing licensed shows, they probably just thought Gokusen wasn't worth doing. The only slight similarity between Spike and Mugen is the way they look. Spike is a much cooler character than Mugen though.

v I have no idea, and this thread isn't about Gokusen v

dclxvi
Sun, 06-06-2004, 06:12 PM
if they thought gokusen wasn't worth doing, why did they do it for 10 out of 13 of the eps & then stop when it was licensed!?!

Omg, this show is so friggin' awesome... I waited too long to watch it! The characters are so cool.... Mugen and Jin are both such bad-asses....

I LOVE the hip-hop/LP scratching music style, it goes so well with the Samurai setting, much better than I expected.

I think the sunflower samurai will turn out to be the one who killed Fuu's parents, seeing as she has "nowhere to go" as was said in the first episode, her parents were probably killed by some renegade samurai and she wants revenge. Just a guess though.

did the 2nd episode remind you of inuyasha at all... i think i saw an inuyasha episode where they find a bad ogre that goes good.

but anyway, this series rocks.

best part:

old man: but, they say that males sometimes end up calling each other instead. *smile*
jin: ... i'll be going now.

AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAH

Yeah this series is awesome! The breakdancing samurai reminds me of...spike is it? from cowboy bebop, and the other one reminds me of vash from trigun, but someone else even more. I can't place my finger on it though. I like the dark overtone they wasted no time to get at. Awesome.

tensai
Wed, 06-09-2004, 01:44 AM
yeah
i dont really watch inuyasha but i remember seeing that ep on CN
it was this ugly ogre, that the villagers wanted to kill
it had a grandma or mom, in the end it saved the villagers from this monster
but that was a little different than samurai champloo because the ogre actually wanted to kill people
the one in inuyasha didnt want to hurt anybody and it didnt die at the end
i like this series, i was wondering if they took out that dj scatch thing where they suddenly switch scenes

ShinobiNeko

if this anime is truly licensed and anime.mircx is removing all of the licensed anime does that mean there is no more samurai champloo on bittorrent?
what other bt sites might have the series?
nvm http://suprnova.org/ has samurai champloo
ep three out by mundo anime <anyone know if they sub good (or is it even in english)



Jin the cross-dresser. OMG

sorry dude, i guess my eyes were killing me then, it was just ep 2 by mundo
the raw is out and it looked like someone subbed it but it was just another group that released the raw
the other sites might not have samurai champloo to dl, so suprnova might be the only place to get it though

true, oceen, it kind of gets you when episodes end like that, but then again, that's the whole point of cliff-hangers, to get you to want to watch it next week.

use the edit button and don't multi post next time, thanks.

99% of the time if your file doesn't play, then you don't have the right codecs. i don't have the links right now but if you go to the anime support forum i'm sure you can find the links.'

but if you do have the right codecs, the file might be corrupt because it did not finish properly.
