Maybe this is old but I am stoked, though the site only has 24 episodes, episodes 24, & 25 are missing. And they appear to be uncensored at least the first episode is.

Hopefully the missing episodes are online somewhere and nothing happens to the site.

I always caught this show only once in a while in the middle of it so I don't really know whats going on with the plot but it looked nice, ty for the site.

It's a really good series, incredible animation and fight scenes. But I think that the loosely connected episodes held together by some weak plot glue+ Show Spoiler +
(the underdeveloped premise of looking for Foo's parents)
detracted from the show overall.

I really wanted to like this, but for some reason could never really enojy it. Jopz made a good point about the plot being pretty disjointed. I also really didnt care for the characters much either, but the fight scenes were decent enough.

The way the plot was laid out was really, really similar to Cowboy Bebop. They're both by the same people, so it's not too surprising. If you liked one of them, then you should presumably like the other one as well.

That's the director's style. Look at Cowboy Bebop. That one is entirely episodic.

He plays with characters, not plot, in order to create interest.

I don't think Samurai Champloo holds a candle to Bebop, but it is definitely a good series.

I liked this anime. Sure it wasn't a super complex plot, but what do you want... I don't think heavy plot was what this anime was going for.

Yeah. Samurai Champloo is a really good anime. Definitely worth watching if, as Koreasilver said, you like Cowboy Bebop.

I liked it better than Cowboy Bebop, they're both great shows though. I think I just preferred the characters, Spike never seemed that interesting to me.
No I'm never serious.

Yeah, that's the director's style. But in Cowboy Bebop, he managed to explore the histories of his characters, and you found yourself looking forward to the episodes shedding light on Spike's past. Champloo lacked even that to give better cohesion to the series. And of course, the climax of Bebop blows Champloo out of the water.

Character interaction and development is alright, but without plot development, the whole show just seems so much weaker than it would have been otherwise.

The baseball episode was so randomly awesome though.

I actually thought Champloo had a stronger overarching plot than Bebop. Bebop was so much more episodic, whereas in Champloo, there was a clear goal from the start.

I dunno.

Yeah I agree. Jin, and Mugen had their past associations explored. Mugen was a convict of piracy, Jen what killed his master or something?

who cares about plot anyway. most good anime (with the exception of NGE) is episodic. all the shit tier anime is plot-based, like naruto etc

my all time top 3 with code geass and monster
amazing series, has its own atmosphere and humor. Guy busts out a mic and starts beatboxing while its a fucking Japan in the Edo period? ROFL
2 guys shanking everyone around while philosophizing? I love cowboy bebop and it will always have a piece of my heart but please, this is way edgier. I watched it 3 or 4 times and never got tired. The episodes could be SO different too. Like the one about baseball had me cry laughing and the one im going to link was just insanely deep. Let me remind you of THIS. And find me a better death scene, please do

This would be the case, except one is vastly, vastly superior to the other in nearly every way to the point that any remaining similarities are naught but painful reminders of what it could have been. Guess which is which.

As a person who normally doesn't watch/dislikes anime, samurai champloo was the only "good" series that I ended up finishing.

I guess cowboy bebop was alright from what I saw on those latenight re-runs on adult swim...
