Editor's Note
Shinichiro Watanabe, director of the popular and acclaimed COWBOY BEBOP, returns with SAMURAI CHAMPLOO. As with his previous accomplishment, Watanabe blends different genres and attitudes into a cohesive whole. SAMURAI CHAMPLOO mixes a maturity rarely found in anime with a historical Japanese setting and an anachronistic hip-hop soundtrack and atmosphere. Fuu is a flaky waitress at a teahouse where a sword fight breaks out between Mugen, a wild and animalistic warrior, and Jin, a mannered and composed Ronin. In exchange for saving them from execution, Fuu demands they accompany her on a journey to find "a samurai who smells of sunflowers." This box set contains the entire stylish and genre-bending series, including seven volumes and 26 episodes in all.
| Features | Mugen?s a buck-wild warrior -- violent, thoughtless and womanizing. Jin is a vagrant ronin -- mysterious, traditional, well-mannered and very strong as well. These two fiercely independent warriors can?t be any more different from one another, yet their paths cross when Fuu, a ditzy waitress, saves them from being executed when they are arrested after a violent swordfight. Fuu convinces the two vagrant young men to help her find a mysterious samurai "who smells of sunflowers." And their journey begins. |
