CHARACTERS:


Mugen - Mugen is a lowbred action-loving hoodlum. Instinct like a wild animal and a body that has a capacity for almost superhuman abilities. Champloo Mix Kenpo is what he calls his entirely self-taught techniques; he changes the way he fights and responds to situations. His chaotic strength is still being formed, he moves randomly and uselessly a lot, and he doesn't attack like normal. He fights as if he were break dancing, similar to capoeira. He has only believed in his own feelings, and the stronger his opponents are, the more excited he gets!


Jin - In order to disguise himself, he wears badass glasses. In the Edo period, there was a swordsman who held an incredible record that he was not once defeated in over a thousand contests between different schools of swordsmanship. According to a Japanese monastery clerk, there was a phantom of sword fighting that mastered things to the ultimate, recording until nothing has been left behind, and then disappearing, and Jin was the best student at the dojo that had been opened by that swordsman, he was called the young genius that surpassed the practitioners.


Fuu - Fuu is a girl that has moved from job to job countless times. Also, she keeps a flying squirrel in her sleeve, which sometimes saves her. She has always been searching for a certain man: A Samurai who smells like sunflowers. If she does a wide amount of jobs, she thought she might be able to catch the trail of that man. At any rate, to find that man she has resolved to tour around to various countries.



Plot Summary:
The two contrasting samurai warriors are far from friends, yet their separate paths seem to cross anyways. Mugen is wandering aimlessly through the city when he stumbles upon a teahouse where he meets Jin and Fuu (A ditzy waitress, but don‘t think she doesn‘t have anything hidden up her sleeves). Fuu convinces them both to come with her in search of a mysterious samurai that smells like sunflowers and their journey begins. This modernized hip-hop tale breaks the barriers of the common, historical, samurai anime.


Review: This is one of the best anime I have ever seen. It has a great set of actions. The graphics and the storyline are as awesome as it can get. The anime's ost is hip-hop kind of theme which is great! The ost goes really well with the characters (especially Mugen). This anime doesn't even get old, it keeps on getting exciting! After I finished the anime, I watched it again, like 5 times! If you don't watch this type of anime, i'm sure that you'll still like it. I recommend EVERYONE to see the anime. REALLY REALLY GREAT!
i'm had see the anime.........
