SC is one of the top 10 all-time anime, in terms of artistic quality. The soundtrack is particularly good, the animation is top-notch, the characterizations are actually creative, and the plot development is like a movie version of Route 66. It ends poorly, however.

My understanding is that champuru means something like goulash.

Totally agree about the desk space thing. I’d do it if I had space.

I smell ‘CONTEST’ You should have a drawing for all the ones you don’t want (I know the Disgaea one is not an option. But the others you seem iffy on keeping.) Just a thought.

Yeah SC was great. I like the Hip-Hop Feudal fusion. It totally goes along the lines of Champloo (which is an Okinawan word “chanpurū” (e.g. goya champuru), that means to mix or blend.)

Juvenile Orion have never been animated. It started out as a manga, and stays as a manga still. A pity, if you ask me.

Your Samurai Conditioner bit was funny till you yuk’ed at your own joke. Just kidding!

I saw Samurai Champloo English dub. It’s a good series. Some nice animation scenes though occasionaly it lacked (like most series). The opening and ending songs as well as the background music are very good. No bishonen so your safe in that manner. The style is the best part of it.

I have the 2006 desktop calendar of Juvenile Orion in my room. Couldn’t resist the bishie despite the fact that I have no interest in the manga whatsoever. I believe an anime was not ever done for the Juvenile Orion series yet I may be wrong.

Whoa nice. I wouldn’t mind that champloo one. Like stated above, it’s a good show. The fight scenes are fluid… and there’s hip hop. I mean come on, enough said.

They’re all available right now. I added some links to the bottom of the article to the calendars at Amazon. You can also get them from http://animegamersusa.com/ too.

Morph:
Bingo! (Not that I would say they were awesome if they were in fact unawesome… That’s why I disclose the fact that they send ‘em to me)

“…I can think to date.”

Heh. “I can think of to date.” would be what I ment to say… Maybe I should even add some concrete-sounding phrase like, “Bar none.” to it while I’m here~

“How come they send you stuff to review?”

“I may buy that SC calendar…”

That’s why~

Samurai Champloo is one of the best historical fiction series I can think to date. I can’t think of another series that can meet it at it’s level.

To that end, I may buy that SC calendar to complement the SC wallscroll I have~ :p
