Samurai Champloo: The Complete Series
Mugen is a fierce animal-like warrior with a unique Bboying (break-dance) inspired fighting style. Jin has a more traditional style but dont 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 dont think she doesnt 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.
Product description
Let's break it down. Mugen's a reckless sword-slinger with a style that's more b-boy than Shaolin. He's got a nasty streak that makes people want to stick a knife in his throat. Then there's Jin, a deadbeat ronin who speaks softly but carries a big blade. He runs game old-school style, but he can make your blood spray with the quickness. When these roughnecks bring the ruckus, it ain't good for anybody, especially them. Enter Fuu, the dizzy waitress who springs her new friends from a deadly jam. All she wants in return is help solving a riddle from her past. She and the boys are tracking the scent, but there's ninety-nine ways to die between them and the sunflower samurai.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 3, 2016Verified PurchaseI am a huge fan of anime and I can say with absolute confidence that this is one of the best series I've had the privilege to come across. I love the story line, the soundtrack and the three main characters are all my favourites. You become so fond of them as the series goes on. The character development is soo great! The series has a great mixture of humour and action and each episode has its own unique story. It has an amazing flow to it. I find that is hard with a lot of animes but this series masters that. All in all it's an amazing watch and I would highly recommend it. It makes my top three favourite animes for sure. It deserves a lot of credit as I'm sure many people would enjoy it. It changed and impacted my life personally and everytime I see it I get the same sensations of beauty and amazement. I give it five stars and two major thumbs up! It really is terrific and I honestly cannot express how much I love this series.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2020Verified PurchaseWatanabe does it again!
The Cowboy Bebop's director takes a new take of artistic historical culture (Edo-era) and upgrades it within a modern tone reflecting modern cultural norms. The anime itself is a comedy with each character flushing out deep developmental growth throughout the series. Unfortunately, its only 1 Season (26 Episodes) but I feel, that is all this series needed. Highly, recommended for any anime fan or just anyone looking for something different with historical themes mixed with a fantastic Hip-Hop soundtrack. It is geared towards a mature / older crowd.
The Digital Copy works great in 2020, and can be redeemed at Funimation.
The Physical disc comes in a generic double disc packaging.
Pros:
- Samurai Fighting
- Hip-Hop Soundtrack
- Edo-era
- Characters are likeable
Cons:
- too short (26 episodes)
- Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2013Verified PurchaseThis is easily one of the best anime ever made it may have a pretty simplistic story line to begin with however as the story goes on in the series it really grows and progresses. And it really captures your attention pretty quick and makes you want to keep watching to see what they are going to do next. And the animation is one of the best i have ever seen it's really good and the voice acting is outstanding. The show is really well balanced with good humour action and drama and can get really emotional at times which is very profound and the music is great as well. So if you are a really big anime fan and even if you're not this is definitely worth buying i doubt many people will regret getting this i sure didn't.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 24, 2020Verified PurchaseIt's a cool anime, however... this is NOT FOR KIDS . Bought it for kids who love samurai anime. One day I heard cursing and adult language coming from their room .... rushed in and..... they're watching Samurai Champloo .
I missed checking the age rating - MY FAULT, 14+ , and assumed its kids friendly like most anime.
It was a big lost for kids but great gain for me. I loved it, awesome one, just don't watch it with young kids around.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2020Verified PurchaseGood series, not my favourite.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2017Verified PurchaseThis is hands-down my favourite series, and the speed in which I received it is astounding. For the price, and the quality of packaging, I was happy that the Complete Series was neither damaged or scuffed. For anyone that collects, this is a great buyer to shop with.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 12, 2019Verified PurchaseI stumbled across this series years ago and fell in love with it. Do yourself a favor I give this series a chance go in blind like I did you won't be disappointed
- Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2014Verified PurchasePretty fun to watch. Characters were quite interesting to see interact with one another. Bunch of oddballs thrown together by what you could call chance/fate, and somewhat brought close through hardships big and small. Lots of the action scenes were quite the treat as well, no flashy confusing B.S., just crazy acrobatic sword play.
Give it a chance, I don't think you would be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samurai Champloo knocked my tabi off!
Verified PurchaseI'm not much of a hip-hop fan (I'm a hater, just hatin'), so I avoided watching Samurai Champloo despite the many recommendations for it that came my way. The few clips I had seen of the series had annoying (for me) background music and weird art, so that was that...or so I thought. Destiny arrived in the form of a bout of severe bronchitis that left me stranded in bed with nothing to do for a week and a half. Since I had exhausted all other options for entertainment by that point, I reluctantly decided to go for it with Samurai Champloo, which had to beat staring at the ceiling, right?
Other fans of the series won't be all that surprised to hear that I was hooked from the very first episode I saw, notwithstanding the fact that the opening song made my eardrums bleed and still does. I really (really) do not like hip-hop, but I LOVED the way that it is incorporated into this series. Samurai Champloo would not be what it is without its musical and hip-hop influences, so I decided to suspend my judgments and go where it took me, which is a classic chanbara jidaigeki with all of the usual suspects - Fuu, the naive and feisty waitress with just enough street smarts to keep her alive (but not out of trouble); Jin, the ultimate traditional swordsman and warrior; Mugen, the wild-haired ronin from Ryukyu, with his exceptional natural talents and battle instincts; and the colorful side characters who float in and out of the episodes. At the time that Samurai Champloo was made, hip-hop was a battle cry for a new Japan, while nothing is more traditionally appealing than the jidaigeki (which in itself is a vehicle to criticize government abuses and corruption). To put the two together and tell these stories is truly inspired.
"Tabi ni deru" or going on a journey is a classic Japanese cultural element that is central to why Samurai Champloo is structured the way that it is. The belief that you grow exponentially as a human being through travel is so fundamental to the way that Japanese experience life that many televisions specials are based upon sending a celebrity on a "Journey Of Discovery." I have actually seen a special in which a boy-band member travels to the absolute sticks in the Chinese countryside to learn how to make fried rice. This kid is from a famous studio that takes young people from their families and raises them to be stars, usually from a ridiculously early age. I am sure that having money, fame, and fortune is nice work if you can get it, but seeing him bloom like a flower under the caring eyes of his host family, who were as far from the glitz and glamour of his life and career as you could possibly get, was kind of...special (sorry). I found it touching to see how he experienced the poverty and emptiness of the countryside contrasted with the warmth and kindness of the Chinese family who took him in and not only taught him about making fried rice, but a lot more about the richness and value of human connections. Yes, he grew exponentially. Meanwhile, I, as a member of the audience, honked in a tissue whispering "it's...beautiful...", and I also gained some excellent tips on making fried rice! Win-win, my friends - food for the body and food for the soul. That's why we have these episodes in Samurai Champloo that seem to be connected by nothing, but there is a major life lesson in every single one. Oh, it's not heavy-handed by any means - blink, and you'll miss it. These human elements, done with a lot of delicacy, are what make Samurai Champloo so amazing.
The music...is...incredible. I'm ranting, but traditional singing (Ryukyu-style - somewhat like sean nos) and shamisen have its moments here, along with Nujabes and Minmi's "Shiki no Uta" (lyrics that brought images of Japan to life behind my eyelids, so beautiful). The ending credits of the episodes are full of hints about Fuu, sepia-toned and nostalgic, which kept me guessing on her bizarre quest, which at first struck me in the same way as it strikes Mugen and Jin, Fuu's unwilling companions. She's searching for the Samurai that Smells of Sunflowers - whaaaat?? I've got sunflowers in my garden, and they don't smell like anything - which is kind of the point. Please just watch it if you've come this far - I'd have to write a book to explain the story without spouting spoilers left and right. You'll get what Fuu is looking for. And what Jin is looking for. And what Mugen, who is determinedly not looking for anything, finds, despite himself.
There is so much going on in this series that I often return to watch it just one more time and go away thinking on what I saw. Don't let the sword fights and non-stop action fool you. Samurai Champloo is a brave piece of social commentary on persistent and deep-rooted beliefs that are part of traditional Japanese society and are often widely and uncritically accepted by people who ought to know better. Like what? Well, the status of women is a very big one, and so is xenophobia (Mugen is from Ryukyu, and I cannot tell you how many times that I have had people tell me in all seriousness that people from Ryukyu are not really Japanese, with the implication that they are ever so slightly inferior), and let's not forget the episode with the eating contest, and the "why" behind the story of the Samurai Who Smells of Sunflowers - you don't have to agree or disagree, by the way, it's just put out there for you to see and think about.
I enjoyed all of the episodes, but the ones that especially stood out for me were the two Misguided Miscreants ones, which tell of Mugen's past; the two Elegy of Entrapment ones in which our friends meet Sara, the blind shamisen player; and the last three, called Evanescent Encounter, which end the series. Just wow.
I'm sorry I wrote a book instead of a review, and thank you for reading it! I hope you will give Samurai Champloo a shot, and enjoy it as much as I did.
