Aaron Robinson Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Howdy members of Earth-2. I'm new to the board, having read a few reviews from the main page I thought I'd check out the forums. A few people may have read my posts on the Oratory forums (as Almighty Default, dear god do I need to change that name), as it is through that board I found out about this site. Samurai Champloo only recently got a run on Australian T.V. Having never heard of it, I initially dismissed it as another standard Samurai anime, but repeated viewing has got me addicted. I love the unique animation and the strange mixture of hip hop with 17th to 19th century Japanese history. I was just wondering what thoughts and opinions were of this show.

Missy Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Though I've only seen three or four episodes, I love this show! Every time I go to Best Buy I'm tempted to buy the DVDs, but I want the unedited versions and I doubt these are those. And welcome to the forums, AJR.

Yoda, I'm like 99.9% sure the DVD's at Best Buy are unedited. But since I haven't bought one, I can't go up that .1%. As for the show itself, it's unique, no doubts. Shinichiro Watanabe just has this knack for throwing genres together and somehow making them all work. This show is no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenji Sumachi Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 You want action, you want nonstop sword fight, you want some good beats. Then this is your show. There is also some drinking and people getting high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm still really, really wanting to get these DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Marv Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm still really, really wanting to get these DVDs. You really, really should. It's an awesome series. But really, all you need to know to know that it is awesome is that it's Shinichiro Watanabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Robinson Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I went all out and bought the last 3 DVDs recently. I don't think I can get the box set anywhere in Australia, which is a shame because I can't see myself buying the whole series seperately, the DVDs cost AUS$30 each so it's not exactly cheap. I have to say it was a nice ending to the series though, predictable as hell, but the two final fights were great. I need to get my hands on the Cowboy Bebop set too.

They are remastered with better sound and they are cheaper than the old DVD's used to be. I grabbed all 6 of them and spent less than $100.

Sion Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I was wondering if there will ever be a sequel to Samurai Champloo. It just started airing here in Canada and I have been hearing about a second season? are they reffering to episodes 18-26 or a full blown sequel?

Aaron Robinson Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 They split the series into two halves, so I'm pretty sure they mean the second half of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sion Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 That's what I figured but I always hoped there would be a sequel.....oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
