samurai champloo anime review

This anime is pretty damn good.  I give it an 8/10.  It is about a girl who manipulates to ronin in assisting her in a search for a mysterious samurai who smells of sunflowers.  

The overall search for this man progresses very slowly.  The beginning of the show is mostly one shot episodes featuring the characters getting themselves into dangerous or humorous situations.  We get to know the characters.  The characters get to know each other making an enjoyable experience for the viewer.  The sword fights are really amazing and entertaining.  The main reason I watched this show is cuz I just finished watching kenshin not to long ago and had an urge to watch more samurai action.  

This show depicts a more darker tone on the way samurais acted back in those days.  Whether it is historically realistic or not Idk.  I dont research stuff like this do it yourself.  While the samurai atmosphere is dark in this show it is not too dark.  Blade of the immortal and the movie 13 assassins was too dark for me.  But the darkness of samurai champloo was just right.  

The artwork is great as well.  

There are drawbacks to this show.  The ending was a little depressing for me.  And tbh Idk if I would rewatch this show.  That is where it lost points on when I decided to give it a rating.  

If you want to see some awesome samurai action watch this show.  It is short only about 26 episodes and it is better then alot of other stuff out there today.
