Samurai Champloo, Episodes 12 - 15

A big recap episode means that we are getting int the meat of the tale. Found out a bit of Mugen's back story. Then Ep15 is the one where Mugen finds his wife, this is one of the best parts of the anime. Also it is becoming clear that the tale is set in the last days of the samurai, when cowboys roamed the wild west but just before the isolationist policy.

Samurai Champloo, Episodes 5 - 11

Two European episodes, both using the stranger in a strange land plot device. The only esoteric episode, every other episode could have been found in a bibliography. But then who has proved that there is no such thing as chi. There was a private eye episode. Also one where everybody accidentally gets high on Marijuana. One had a very sad ending too.

There certainly are a lot of mature themes throughout the series. So now we've seen the personalities of the main characters in several situations and have started to find out what their back story is.

Samurai Champloo

Started watching this series for a second time. Eps 1-3, Mugen reminds me of my Bro. I really like the way he handles the moral dilemma in ep3. Reminds me of the start of Baldurs Gate II.
Defiantly the best approach when dealing with the supreme evil overlord who is holding a hostage is to assume he is infact the supreme evil overloard who is intending to obliterate life as we know it and when he says he will spare somebodies life he is lying.
Enter Mugen.
