Samurai Champloo #11

[timepiececlock]

Finally, an episode I really really like. An episode I can sink my teeth into.

And didn't I say I liked Jin best? This confims it.

This stellar episode just earned SC a second chance in my book. I was going to quit but now I think I might stick around a bit longer. Just to see if there's any more I might like.

It's cute how Fuu isn't quite certain whether she actually likes Jin or whether she is just upset that one of her guys might be taken away from her. And I think Mugen is a little bit sweet on Fuu, in a way that can end up being either romantic or familial. For right now it's kind of amusing how they argue like siblings.

That's the thing about this show. I like the characters well enough, and their interaction. So much wonderful potential! So far it's the plot that has been disappointing. Like, I know I could enjoy these characters a lot more if the plots were a little more interesting.

Episode 11 was very interesting to me. Finally an episode plotline I really enjoyed. And it was also interesting in how it paralleled the episode with Fuu and the pickpocket... only Jin actually succeeded where Fuu failed.

W00t! See, I told you they'd get better.

brigidforest loves Jin too. Typical of me, Mugen is my favorite. ;)

There are some things I like about Mugen, and his character definitely looks like there's a lot more to learn about him, but... he's like CB!Spike without the charm. Which makes him unappealing to me at the moment. Who knows about future episodes.

I do see some Spike in Mugen, but he's definitely very different to me. He's a lot more Draconian and a little less casual. Spike is indifferent to so much more than Mugen is. Mugen is also a little more primal and wild. He's waaay past impulsive.

Episode 11 is my favorite so far. It had everything in it.

For some reason, I'm drawn to Fuu as my favorite character. But I do like Jin and Mugen.

Glad you finally found a redeeming episode! Unlike a few other animes out there ::coughs::Wolf's Rain::coughs::
