Fluid animation, good story, entertaining but not spectacular. As a fan of the original series, I felt this standalone feature was one of the better anime movies out there, but not a timeless classic. I'm aware that there is a huge fanbase behind the anime but this singular movie lacks the impact the series did. It feels like a better animated, extra episode. 4 Stars out of five because it doesn't quite reach greatness.
Samurai Champloo is one of my favorite anime for its art style, quirky storytelling and collaborative nature. This is the companion book for the anime, a short read to be sure. I particularly enjoyed the character layouts near the end - not just the main characters but all the characters. Overall a nice look behind the scenes.
The series is fantastic. However this edition cannot play English subtitles while playing dubbed version.
It’s really cool book but I only suggest this book to people who like comics, or ninja samurai the thing is that starts of with this one the another guy then a girl then the guy is an a illegal alien and he kills all the men in the restaurant then this guy says look at your hand and the guy starts screaming then the other guy comes. Now the two guy’s I was talking about are really good samurai’s and they kill people. Then they both meet up in the restaurant and fight in there and burn show more the place down then the girl comes and she worked there and she said you guy’s are coming with me and they ok now their on a trip to see sunflower samurai and there all fugitives show less
