Samurai Champloo catch-up post 1

I love how, when when Fuu and Mugen start to fall down a deep hole, Mugen makes sure to grab the uninvolved Jin and drag him down too, just because.

Uhg. Monologues. I hate the monologues in this show. Clearly Mugen does too.

Heeeeheee. Wasabi. Heeeeeeee.

So... zombies don't eat brains to survive, they eat ...wasabi?

Heeeheee.

Although, this is kind of lame placement for this episode. I want some emotional after-effects from episodes 20 and 21.

Old Japanese man: "There's an official notice to tell us to drive off foreign ships..."
American commander: "???---Fuck them!"
Rashaka: **giggle**

The Engrish. The Engrish! ::helples giggles:: They should air this episode with subtitles. Seriously.

I need subtitles for some of the things the Americans are saying. Especially the single-word utterances that go by too fast.

Dude, I totally need an icon that says "Ninja baseball." One that can convey the amount of teeth-gritting disgust the voice actor managed to insert into the word "ninja." Heeeheehehe.


Old Japanese man: "Listen, overcome my death and go on..."
Rashaka: *laughing way too much*



Whoever said they needed a Mugen icon that says "There's no crying in baseball!" was soooooooo right.

I watched episode 22 early one morning after having slept not at all so my entire reaction was: O_O I'd probably get more out of a repeat viewing.

But episode 23 = love. I didn't think this show could out-do episode 15 but they did! Messing with history, making fun of America (& American accents), *and* dark, dark humor all wrapped up in one anime package makes me deliriously happy.

America's foreign policy in 15 seconds!

BTW, did you watch the Anime Forever version? Because that one did have subtitles of the English and an explanation of who the two main Americans were--which added greatly to my amusement.

Ninja baseball and no-crying-in-baseball BOTH need to be made into icons.

That was my reaction too. Some giggling over the wasabi thing, but mostly or o_O

Haha. I did feel that was the truest moment of portraying the Americans in this episode.

I watched the SS version. I'd be interested in seeing the other version, if you have it.

I was sending it to another friend already so here ep 23 is all speedy-like:
