Samurai Champloo

[Andromeda18_]

Yeah Champloo is great. If your looking for a good anime to watch, may I suggest Beck. It's only subbed right now, but a quater of the show is in Engrish. If you like rock then this is a great anime.

I've got to pick up that champloo set soon. Have to how they did Baseball Blues in english.

Ah, ah! Guess what? I'm watching Beck right now (well, not right now, now I'm typing :p )! After Champloo I watched the latest Mushishi (highly recommended) episodes available for download and then yesterday I started watching Beck. I didn't really know what it was about but since it's done by the same guys that did Paradise Kiss (highly recommended as well) I decided to give it a try. Although I've only watched 5 episodes so far I'm already enjoying it very much. While as far as art and animation goes Paradise Kiss and Beck are different in certain aspects, Paradise Kiss being far more stylized, they both deal with human relations and the tribulations of those who are trying to make it in the artistic world. Personaly, I like that. Plus, like you said, there's lots of rock in it and I love rock.

If you like series that deal with the music world (in this case rock/punk) I suggest you pick up Nana. So far only the manga and the live-action movie (you can download it here, english subs here), which was a mega hit throughout Asia, are available but the anime is scheduled to air in Japan on April 5th. Considering how extremely popular Nana is I'm certain some fansubbers' group will begin working on it right away.
