| samurai champloo Having completed our run on BeeBop, we are now going back to the completed series we did not finish watching. This time it was a few episodes of Samurai Champloo, an atypical samurai drama done with a hiphop styling. I don't know hiphop very well so I just see anachronism out it's yingyang. And yet, it likes to set itself in historical and reality based settings. I learned a bit about Japanese fireworks, interactions with Dutch traders and some things about mid 18th century Japanese art. That was while two kickass rogue samurai are slicing up the yakuza and dealing with an annoying 15 year old girl. Oh, and the artwork associated with the series is incredible. For those who read Japanese, here's the series' blog. August 15 05 |

The various soundtrack albums are amazing as well.
