Samurai Champloo

[desfunk]

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.

I have the movie on my computer, but for some odd reason it just doesn't run right. It seems to have framerate issues both on my PC and on the Xbox. Not to mention, the subs don't look to be that great (i've downloaded 2 different sets, and reading through both, there seems to be a lot of grammar errors)

I can't believe how the animes style looks identical to the mangas. Well, other then being in colour and all.

As for Beck. I remember watching the first bit of it, then i kinda just stopped. I hate trying to keep up with series as they're released. I usually end up looking into them AFTER they're fully out. So i can just grab it all at once, and watch it all at once (the same reason it took me until just recently to FINALLY start watching fullmetal alchemist)

Back onto Champloo. I've ordered my set from here as well, and plan on watching it soon afterwards. Though i'm sure others will have tossed up their reviews beforehand (i'm just hoping it turns out good! if not, then i'll have no problem just buying the entire R1 set)
