The director of the classic anime series COWBOY BEBOP, Shinichiro Watanabe, follows up with SAMURAI CHAMPLOO. As in his previous series, Watanabe mixes genres and attitudes into a cohesive whole. SAMURAI CHAMPLOO is set in feudal Japan, but combines that with a hip-hop soundtrack and attitude. Mugen, a wild and animalistic warrior, starts a fight with Jin, a calm and mannered ronin, in the midst of a tea house. When the two men are threatened with execution, flaky waitress Fuu rescues them both. However, their freedom has a price, as Fuu recruits them to help her find the mysterious "samurai who smells of sunflowers." This release contains the third and fourth episodes of the action series.

Description:

Shinichiro Watanabe follows his legendary anime series COWBOY BEBOP with the similarly hip and stylish SAMURAI CHAMPLOO. Blending genres and attitudes, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO takes place in feudal Japan but contains numerous creative anachronisms, including a hip-hop soundtrack. After saving them from execution, ditzy Fuu holds wild Mugen and composed Jin, two samurai warriors, in an uneasy alliance. The trio travels the countryside in search of the "samurai who smells of sunflowers." In VOLUME FOUR, it has become rapidly apparent that the travelers are magnets for trouble no matter where they go, as Mugen is roped into a foolish raid on a merchant's ship, and the group discovers a strange prize while out fishing.

Description:

Like his groundbreaking, immensely popular COWBOY BEBOP, director Shinichiro Watanabe's SAMURAI CHAMPLOO seamlessly blends a variety of genres and tones. Taking place in feudal Japan, the Animé utilizes creative anachronisms and a hip-hop soundtrack and attitude.

Description:

From the creator of COWBOY BEBOP and the minds behind the animation in KILL BILL comes this equally hip series that mixes genres as freely as its predecessor. The two samurai, Mugen and Jin, as well as their companion Fuu, are wandering through Japan searching for the "samurai who smells of sunflowers." Along the way they meet a man Mugen feels an affinity for, despite the fact that he has burned down his own village. Eventually they find themselves involved in a graffiti-tagging competition, although the series is set in feudal Japan--a signature characteristic of director Shinichiro Watanabe's work. Encountering a girl with knowledge of the sunflower samurai, the trio makes its way to Nagasaki, heading straight for a dangerous trap that awaits them.
