| | Description | For the first time ever, the buck wild samurais of the Champloo crew are carving up the competition on Blu-ray…catch the action now before the game passes you by. 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. |  |

I Bought It When It Was $39.99!!! At That Price It's A Steal! Aug 05, 2010 I agree with the vast majority of the reviews. There is really no point buying the blu-ray if you have the DVDs, especially at $80. I pre-ordered it and guaranteed a $39.99 price and I don't own the DVDs, so it was a win-win situation for me. Since then the price has steadily risen and I wouldn't really recommend paying $80 for something you could grab on DVD for $35 or so.
Overall the show is 5 stars and just brilliant. If you like Cowboy Bebop, this is for you.
Also, both the Japanese and English voice acting is superb. Take your pick.
One of the best series out there Jul 27, 2010 As a relatively hard core Anime fan, Samurai Champloo really does it for me. Anyone who is a fan of Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo was directed by the same man, Shinichiro Watanabe, and you can definitely see the similarities.
Champloo draws a lot on the musical aspect of the underground hip hop scene and break style dancing, just as Bebop was influenced by the jazzy blues. It brings a lot of humor into play, slapstick and tasteful, so there is plenty to offer up a laugh or two the whole series long. I also have to gush about the characters in this series, cause there is just too much good stuff going on with them not to mention it. The dynamics between Jin, Mugen and Fuu offer up some quality entertainment and touching human relationships. I love them to death.
Also, just throwing out there, Samurai Champloo is one of the few Anime series out there in which an actual GOOD English dub was made. Champloo is enjoyable to watch whether you're in the mood to listen to the talented English voice cast or flip on the subtitles and enjoy the native Japanese speakers, and that is a huge selling point in my opinion.
Had a great time watching this.. Jul 14, 2010 Being a big fan of Cowboy Beebop , i was eager to discover what the people of that series could bring to the table And the answer is amazing story telling and pack of fun , like beebop this series has great replay value. Also the blu-ray version is priced a couples dollar higher than the DVD . Highly recommended for anime fans..

The Best Of It's Kind... Jun 18, 2010 Samurai Champloo is arguably the best samurai based anime ever made. Directed by Shinichirô Watanabe, the genious behind anime greats like Cowboy Bebop and the Animatrix, Samurai Champloo is sure to take you on an action packed ride! I first witnessed this anime at the age of nine, when it was aired on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim block, and I instantly fell in love with it. The soundtrack, the animation, the voice acting, everything was perfect to the point that I was over influenced by the anime. I used to record each episode on a VHS tape, and watch them over and over again. But now, almost seven years later, my love for Samurai Champloo hasn't changed a bit, and I decided to buy Samurai Champloo The Complete Series on Blu Ray. The box and cases are amazing, with glossy art, and stylistic design. The discs also resemble old records, with different logo art in the middle of each disc. All of it was perfect, but the real suprise, was when I inserted the disc, and pressed play. The picture was completley stunning!! I have never seen anything like it! It's like watching the series for the very first time. Everyhting is so clear and vivid, its mind bogling especially at 1080p!! Now, I can't compare it with the picture of the DVD box set, which I do not own, but I know that the DVD doesn't show nearly as good as this. The audio is also in dolby 5.1 TrueHD, so everything sounds fantastic! My surround sound speakers have taken a beating from the opening song, hip-hop beats that play during the episodes, and the constant sword clanging, that goes on in every single episode. Anyone debating on rather they should buy this or the DVD, I strongly recommend the Blu Ray, just to keep up. After all, Blu Ray is the future my freind, don't get left behind! Anyways, Samurai Champloo The Complete Sereis Blu Ray gets a full 5/5 from me, and I will be buying more Blu Ray's in the future. Peace.
Great Show in HD May 04, 2010 This is one of the best anime's ever made. It is eclipsed only by Cowboy Bebop. I had been wanting to get it on DVD for a while, and recently got a Blue Ray player. Saw this for a great price and could not pass it up. If you are a fan you know this show is worth getting on Blue Ray. If you have never seen it before, do yourself a favor and pick it up and join the search for the samurai that smells of sunflowers.
