Samurai Champloo new show to adult swim just saw a preview of it anyothers it looks okay but we'll see

Pilaf - May 8, 2005 05:28 AM (GMT)
It's VERY good. I've seen it before, about a week before it got a US liscense so I only got through a few episodes :(. By the director of bebop, looks similar just higher detail. Follows three characters, a ronin, a thug like person, and this girl with no family. In the first episode, the two swordsmen both do things to upset the government, and in the middle of doing this, they meet up with each other and try to kill each other. In the middle of their fighting, they are arrested, and are going to be executed. The girl was working in the restaurant where they met, and thus finds out about the execution by being right there. So, she figures out a plan and saves them. In return, she makes the two of them go on a journey with them to find a smaurai who smells like sunflower seeds. They agree reluctantly, and go. However, they keep trying to kill each other along the way.

That is sort of a brief synopsis without spoilers, it's action packed, and the crazy non-samurai break dances a lot.

Anyway, it will be good. Trust me.

I agree with everything that Pilaf said. ^_^

It's samurai...with hip-hop music and break dance sword fighting. o.O

Kenji - May 8, 2005 06:20 AM (GMT)
thats weird break dancing with fighting i gotta see this

Pilaf - May 8, 2005 06:32 AM (GMT)
Actually, the hip-hop is only in the (fan-subbed) theme. Also, I just saw the trailer, and I have seen every single one of those episodes already, and I only saw like 6. Those are all from like the first 3.

Kenji - May 8, 2005 07:05 AM (GMT)
so that tralier you saw all of those eps are only three but you said you only saw six how long is the serieres

Pilaf - May 8, 2005 07:07 AM (GMT)
So far, one season. I had seen about six fan-subs, then a US liscense was obtained so i stopped watching.

Kenji - May 8, 2005 07:09 AM (GMT)
oh wheere do you see fan subs is that like japanese with subtitles

Pilaf - May 8, 2005 07:16 AM (GMT)
Yes. However, it is only legal if there is no US liscense. For more info, see the file sharing thread.

Crystal Velvet - May 10, 2005 06:35 AM (GMT)
^ Yeah, well, if you miss it - try to forgive yourself. We'd miss you ;)

I didn't get to see this one via fansub, so yeah - I'm hoping to check it out now. If I'm not mistaken, the DVDs are out for this one, as well - for those who don't like CN/AS.

just saw samurai champloo on adult swim its awesome, was a million times better than what i thought it would be. the show reminds me of ruroni kenshin except the fact that theres blood,stabbing,slicing etc. etc. etc. (not that thats a bad thing) :P



lil

Pilaf - May 15, 2005 05:34 AM (GMT)
It's nothing like ruroni kenchin once you get into it.

Naruko - May 15, 2005 05:35 AM (GMT)
I liked it, especially the one wit the glasses when he faced the elite gaurds :lol:

Pilaf - May 15, 2005 05:49 AM (GMT)
Spoilers, naruko. Spoilers.

Naruko - May 15, 2005 05:50 AM (GMT)
Thought you saw it already.....

Pilaf - May 15, 2005 05:52 AM (GMT)
I did, others haven't.

Enigma Zero - May 15, 2005 06:39 AM (GMT)
Yeah, some of us have seen things you won't see for years. For me most of the time when something finally makes it to CN I either already own it or it's been so long since I've seen it that I may check it out to see 1) How bad CN butchers it(they've gotten alot better), 2) How bad the Dub is on the title, or 3) Watch it again because I've forgotten most of it(only if I remember that I liked it....like "Read or Die" for example). :angel:

Naruko - May 15, 2005 06:42 AM (GMT)
Ive seen things NOBODY should see.... :ninja:

Enigma Zero - May 15, 2005 06:46 AM (GMT)

How did you ppl find that out,I burnt the freakin evidence :ninja:

Pilaf - May 15, 2005 06:57 AM (GMT)
Ok, I saw the episode...

They did a bad job choosing the voices (Great actors though).

The theme, contrary to what you may believe, is the correct theme, and was not made by americans.

The violence in uncensored, although it was censored when the ronin said "You worthless piece of" WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA.

Naruko - May 15, 2005 06:58 AM (GMT)
But you still no what he meant :lol:
The ronins Jean, my fav. ^-^

Kenji - May 15, 2005 07:35 AM (GMT)

Don't ask me. That's how it was written.

Enigma Zero - May 15, 2005 07:37 AM (GMT)
Why does Hellsing have a spooky opening and hair metal closing by Mr. Big? Some questions are better left alone. :D

Pilaf - May 15, 2005 07:39 AM (GMT)
Hellsing deosn't have a spooky opening... more Jazzy.

Malach - May 15, 2005 06:07 PM (GMT)

Naruko - May 15, 2005 06:09 PM (GMT)

This show is really cool. :)

Naruko - May 15, 2005 07:45 PM (GMT)
Wait, if metropolios was a movie, and Champloo replaced FMA, then whats gonig to replace GIT?

Pilaf - May 22, 2005 06:37 AM (GMT)
Tonight's episode is one of my favorites, and the next two (a two parter) are also very good.

TheUnknownSeries - May 22, 2005 12:05 PM (GMT)
It is pretty good. Did the main character had spike voice?

Malach - May 22, 2005 01:32 PM (GMT)
I watched it, I liked it much. The whole concpet of the anacronistic time is really interesting.

TheUnknownSeries - May 29, 2005 02:47 PM (GMT)
