According to my Newtype USA magazine (I bought an issue cause it had FMA on the front), Mugen of Samurai Champloo is supposed to be 19.

What? He looks like 23 or 24. Huh...19. Well, huh.

I was surprised by that, too. Maybe all that hard livin' has roughened him up beyond his years? It's sort of sweet, though--if he's around 19, the age difference with Fuu isn't as great as I thought it was, and with Jin around 20, that makes Mugen the snotty younger brother.

I am going through such Champloo withdrawal. I had no idea I liked loved the show this much. No new eps til JANUARY! WAAAH! My leetle snarky samurai family!! I miss them need them!!

Jin is 20? I thought he was like 24 too. OMG the love. He's my current crush, by the way. Like, I know it would be easier and more fun to crush on Mugen, but somehow I can't help but like Jin more. He's got that whole tarnished but noble thing going on. And he's pretty.

I didn't know there would be no new episodes until January. Hm.

I'm not really obsessed with SC-- I don't love this show (FMA) or need it like crack (Naruto), but I do enjoy it if I get to see it. In a way it's like my experience watching CB the first time-- I didn't care about watching it in order or seeing every episode, because I was only mildly interested. It's like an amusing, sometimes boring, pretty distraction. There are a lot of things I appreciate about it on a professional level (the animation is very well-done), but many aspects of it just don't appeal to me or only appeal to me in a certain mood.

Then again, maybe its one of those shows where, even if I don't like it all the time, at least I am guaranteed to watch something that doesn't totally suck. Though it's only half-way my cup of tea, it's not stupid and I'd watch it for that reason alone.
