Samurai Champloo # 1

Well, it is very stylish, which I like.

It is also very darkly animated and colored, which I don't like.

It has well done animation-- always a good sign. But I don't like the character designs-- a bad sign.

I am willing to watch the next episode, though. Definitely better at the moment than Saiyuki or Tenjou Tenge was when I tried to watch them.

P.S. Why is it in widescreen?

So it's up to 11 then. You still like it?

Very much. It just gets funnier and more beautifully animated as you move up in episodes. Not to mention the characters start to fill out a lot more and the whole thing just because twice as interesting.

A lot of people compare it to Cowboy Bebop, but I don't see many similarities between the two. I think SC stands on it's own as one of the better anime's I've seen.

I hope so because so far one of the flaws is that the two men seem to be stock characters. "types" if you will. The tightass and the punk.
