So i just spent the last few hours catching up on missed Samurai Champloo episodes. Havn't finished the series yet but im up to episode 20.
I watch a fair bit of anime but unfortunately its quite hard these days to find a great series. Most story lines have been done, with the whole typical nerdy boy becoming the hero, or the good looking hero saving the day.
Now, the thing i love about Samurai Champloo is that, even though the three main characters, Jin, Mugen and Fuu, are good looking and cool, it isn't that, that draws me to this show. Its tha fact that they have incorporated Hip-Hop as a theme into it!
Freudel Japan mixed with Hip-Hop!
Its just awesome!
Mugen, uses break dancing moves as his fighting style, they use all hip-hop tracks for the soundtrack and they incorporate hip-hop related issues into the episodes!
There are episodes about MCing! And even tagging and bombing! Can you just imagine, in ancient japan, youths running around tagging stalls!
This show pretty much encompasses two of my favorite themes! Japan and hip-Hop!
Love my rap, and Samurais are just plain old cool!
