みなさんも聴いてみてください。ぼくはこれで、いわゆるLo-Fi HipHopの（というかNujabesの）トリコになってしまいました。

Samurai Champloo (サムライチャンプルー)

[toshio]

okay friends. it's been a while since i did an "anime recommendation" post but i'm gonna try do more of them! just remind me on anon or something, i love doing them & sharing my fave anime w/ y'all, duh.

do you like historical fiction? japan? hip-hop music? nujabes? (rip legend, he died in 2010) giant swords, drama and action?

let me yap to you about one of my favorite animes ever.

"samurai champloo" サムライチャンプルー (2004)

the series takes place during an "alternate" version of Edo Japan (anywhere from 1603 to 1867) and it's not historically accurate at all, it's basically just historical fanfiction. even though the anime takes place during the past, the characters are written veryyy contemporary (2000s lingo basically). expect to hear upbeat, hip-hop music with otherwordly yet immaculately produced instrumentals/samples while there's swords clashing.

speaking of music...

let me tell you. the soundtrack on this anime is fucking INSANE. if you enjoy hip hop music, fresh beats, instrumental music that will make you stay up at night and question your existence, this anime has it. mind you, this music was released in the year 2004, and kids on tiktok now are jamming to "aruarian dance" (one of my favorite instrumental songs from the OST) and putting it in the background of their influencer or goofy cat reels. the year i'm writing this post is 2025 and the kiddos fucking looove this anime's soundtrack. it's absolutely timeless. get. into. it. it's that fucking good. all of it is on spotify and other streaming platforms btw. support my king nujabes.

to summarize the plot, Samurai Champloo follows the adventures of three (3) characters. a young girl who's originally a tea waitress (Fuu) who brings two gifted swordsmen with her. their polarizing personalities make the series extremely entertaining, as they often clash and argue over anything. (just dudes being dudes, y'know?)

Mugen (in red) who's your typical jackass. he's rude and lewd. loves women. very unhinged. a lot of fans vibe w/ this guy, his personality is unlike anything i've ever seen in anime. absolute trailblazer. he's the type of kid in high school to pick a fight with you for absolutely no goddamn reason, like over your lunch or something petty.

Jin (in blue) is your typical good guy. quiet dude who is calm and collected. he rarely smiles, and is basically that one quiet kid who's a total badass. we all knew that kid growing up. that's jin. we love jin.

i guarantee you the first episode of this anime will have you HOOKED. this anime is the origin of this iconic misleading boob gif btw. weeb tumblr veterans know exactly what i'm talking about.

the first episode is such a rollercoaster, and a really good introduction to the series. oh and this is one of those rare anime series where the english dub is STELLAR. highly recommend the english dub if you don't like reading japanese subtitles. it fits perfectly with the hip hop music playing in the background. you've got amazing voices like Steve Blum (voices Mugen), Kirk Thornton (voices Jin), and the iconic Kari Wahlgren (voices Fuu).

let me know if you guys pick up this anime, it's a classic! you can get your daily dose of Japan, sword clashing, and hip hop beats. there's about 26 episodes total, nothing too crazy long.

Аlso besides this, Vincent in the pilot version of the series had a different design, he also had a sword!

"The story is about Jin a traditional very skilled samurai, Mugen an innovative equally skilled samurai, and Fuu a girl who worked at a tea house. When Jin and Mugen get caught and are about to be executed, Fuu saves their lives and in return she makes them promise to help her find the Samurai Who Smells Like Sunflowers."

"The characters were designed by Kazuto Nakazawa, who had worked as both an artist and director on multiple projects including Ashita no Nadja and the anime segments of Kill Bill: Volume 1."

Avto told me that I like to remember the memories, most terrible thing is forget that I forgot. When you wanna recall someone's name, already you could remember someone's face or voices, but if you completely forgot somebody, you couldn't remember the someone's being. Yesterday, I read my friend’s blog, she said concreteness that you don't think there're meanings mean to me, and Avto told about カウボーイビバップ, サムライチャンプルー and 坂道のアポロン. He said that the theories of the three works are completely different and same, that's the feeling of infinity(or dream). They meant to me pretty close way. the concreteness that we have own is like planets in the universe. We can be known each other, we can't see all of the concreteness that somebody have though. But it must be front of you.

今さらながら「BANANA FISH」を観たんですが、もっと早くに観とくべきだった…。今回、U-NEXTで配信がもうすぐ終わるってことだったので短期集中で観たんだけど、もう１周２周しないと、気持ちが消化しきれないわ。

とりあえず、公式ガイド本は速攻で買いました、光の庭を含めたコミックス全巻のボックスを買うかどうかは思案中…

当時のネット界隈をまさぐってたら、舞台を現代に持っていったのはどないなんとかいろいろ意見あるみたいだけど、アニメから入ったじぶんとしては、これはこれですんなり受け入れられたし、コミックスが出てた頃から随分時間が経ってアニメ化するんだからしかたないんちゃうかなぁ、と思う。全く違和感はなかった。

でも、現代版を観てても、なんとなく８０年代の空気が漂うような気がしてることに気づいた。ここのところ、やたらとTMネットワークの初期のアルバムばか��聴いてるのはきっとそのせい。TMの初期って、なんとなくアメリカ（というかニューヨーク）の匂いがするんだよね、歌詞のあちこちに当時のアメリカが挟み込まれてる（コインが「ダイム」だったり、街のなかの公園の描写が明らかにセントラルパークだったり、バスが２階建てだったり）。

それにしても、フジテレビはあまり好きではないが、ノイタミナをはじめとする深夜のアニメ枠は素晴らしいの一言に尽きる。「BANANA FISH」をはじめ、「ミチコとハッチン」、「サムライチャンプルー」、「残響のテロル」、「東のエデン」…今でも名作といわれるものがごろごろあるよな。
