I wouldn't really consider myself a big fan of anime, having only seen about 50 titles to date (mostly theatrical films). I have enjoyed a majority of the ones I've seen (especially the Studio Ghibli line), but most of them haven't blown me away. I'm one of those blasphemous fiends who finds great enjoyment in anime that *real* fans of anime don't like very much. You know, stuff like "Vexille" (2007), "Appleseed" (2004), and "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" (2005) – movies that everyone likes to rip apart even though they're far more entertaining than most of the artsy fartsy stuff that finds its way onto everyones top lists. I've also disliked and even hated a number of highly acclaimed titles. You know, stuff like "Akira" (1987), "Neon Genesis Evangelion" (1995), "Grave of the Fireflies" (1998), and "Princess Mononoke" (1997) – titles that get endless reverence for reasons that I simply do not understand. For myself personally, anime is like a mine field because I really have no idea whether or not I'm gonna hit a pretentous, irritating mess.<br/><br/>This past weekend I had no Asian dvds to watch, which is a rarity. So I did some online research and came across a series by the name of "Samurai Champloo" (2004). Like every other anime series, it got really high ratings and everyone went on and on about how awesome it was – yada yada yada. I rolled my eyes. Then I noticed that it was created by the same team that brought us "Cowboy Bebop" (1998), an anime that I recently finished and enjoyed very much. On that fact alone I decided to take a chance. I purchased the Complete DVD collection at a local store, and ended up finishing the entire series (a 10 hour project) in one day.<br/><br/>Fuu, a waitress who works in a teahouse, rescues two master swordsmen, Mugen and Jin, from their execution to help her find the "samurai who smells of sunflowers." Along the way they meet a lot of people and get involved in various conflicts. This is one of the few anime that I've seen that exhibits superior quality in every single aspect of film-making. The animation itself is stunning, with incredibly beautiful environments on constant display, and the Japanese voiceacting is top notch. The two biggest positives, however, are the character development and the swordfights.<br/><br/>With regards to the former, I must give some serious props to the scriptwriter, who crafts some fantastic characters here with very distinct, engaging histories. These are expertly developed characters who come to life. As muchI enjoyed "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex GIG 1 & 2" (2002, 2004), I always felt that the characters were too dry and textbook. Not so in "Samurai Champloo", which introduces its characters in a very warm, endearing manner while using a hefty amount of witty comedy that bonds them with the viewerwelleach other. It was also an excellent decision to have a very slow, methodical bonding process that basically takes the entire runtime before culminating in a family-type relationship. This makes perfect sense given their cynical histories, and comes offentirely convincing. By the end the viewer will have no choice but to be emotionally invested in their lives, which maximizes the impact of the final 6 or 7 episodes when they confront some formidable opponents.<br/><br/>That brings us to the swordfighting scenes, which are without question the greatest I've ever seen in an animated film or show. The quality of the action choreography is high throughout, but the last 6 or 7 episodes will completely blow you away. We're talking multiple showdowns with bad guys who are so intimidating that one questions the well-being of the protagonists, who are considerably talented in their own right. What results is what I call "superlative awesomeness" that will have the viewer on the edge of their seat for virtually every single second. If you thought the swordfights in "Ninja Scroll" (1993) were good, you've GOT to see this! A truly magnificent, exhilarating experience.<br/><br/>I still have much to see in the realm of anime, but it's gonna be tough to top "Samurai Champloo." I'm completely and whole-heartedly in love with this the same way I'm in love with "My Sassy Girl" (2001, South Korea)a romantic comedy or "Kairo" (2001, Japan)a horror movie. A must see by any common definition of the term.<br/><br/>10/10
