Sum it up in a Sentence
Cowboy Bebop in Japan where instead of jazz, it's hip-hop.
Main Description
The three main characters during Edo period Japan meet up in the first episode on a quest to find a samurai who smells of sunflowers. The girl, Fuu, is the one who wants to find said samurai and drags along two swordsmen who "promised" to go along with her. Mugen is the wild, anything-goes freeloader while Jin is the disciplined ronin who wears glasses. Their journey is crossed with accurate periodical references interspersed with modern hip-hop culture as they trek through the country and encounter everything from the mild to the unbelievable.

If you haven't seen this shit, seriously, what the hell? Samurai Champloo is awesome and you should watch it. It appeals to every audience.
Willsun
If you're itching for more Cowboy Bebop but don't care about it being in space, Samurai Champloo will satisfy. Has the same amount of episodic shenanigans and stand-alone adventures with the loose premise of a main storyline that concludes in the end. It's artsy and will satiate the (non-moé) Japanophile in you, and the battle scenes are realistic, gritty, and stay true to how violent they really are. --Willsun 09:47, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
