This is a reminder to watch Samurai Champloo? I thought it was a reminder to watch Rurouni Kenshin

Samurai Champloo blends hiphop within feudal japan to provide a great show. It's cohesion within chaos and madness. Great starter.

I felt like it had a pretty lackluster ending, though. Started strong then just kind of fizzled out midway through.

This anime made me realize why women can be attracted to "bad boys." Mugen and Jin are both ultra sexy in totally different ways.

Fun fact, Mugen's movement was deeply influenced by Jet ("Cowboy Bebop", same creator) who was origin. influenced by Ghibli's "Lupin III".

Jet or Spike? Feels like Spike's movement was based on Lupin III more than Jet's (the big cyborg guy) to me.

Kinda. Its a very episodic series. Some are super deep and philosophical, others are just silly fun. But the writing is always good.

I liked both, but Bebop had a more compelling story, IMHO. Champloo was a bit more scattered, and I didn't care for the female lead much.

This exactly is my thought as well. Also no badass dog in Champloo.

They're two completely different characters who serve different purposes. You can't really compare them, aside from them being female.

I think it's reasonable to compare female leads in two different shows by the same director.
