[jjstarrprod]

One of the greatest anime of all times.
Hardly underrated.

[smokeyglo]

Mugens hidden blade in his sheath is the best ace in the hole💯

[MayoForBrains]

Any anime with that 90s animation style is a masterpiece

[bokogonk]

"if you're not a fan of this show I recommend watching it" I love the implication that everyone who has seen this show is a fan because it's just that good. Genuinely one of the greatest anime I've ever seen

[Lowkey-ybnm]

Champloo is one of those og anime that made u dream so hard. Just hearing the intro brings tears to my eyes. One of the most distinct shows ever made.

[berserkape]

Jin and Mugen are a good representation of the Red Oni/Blue Oni concept.

[mateocortanage]

I feel strong emotions when i hear that song and talk about this show. It's so special

[mr.troubletrouble]

Most slept on anime ever. I wonder how many people saying it's good have actually seen it all the way through. "Sharp like the edge of a samurai sword the mantle blade cut through flesh and bone!"

[amandakucsera]

My art teacher gave me a three dvd set of samurai champloo. Along with the art, the music also opened my soul. How can one live in this century without ever experiencing this anime, or even the movies of studio ghibli

[MijamiMarlitoRivera]

Don't forget to listen to Nujabes! ☝️

[NujuBS]

Immediately looked up the book.
Saw the price.
Gave up all hope.

[Flakyfrosting]

Tears me up what happened to the creator may he rest in peace. Please someone reprise and reboot this masterpiece and breathe life into these unforgettable characters!

[justinontube]

that was a nice era for anime and rap married & combined. Done right. RIP Nujabes.

[dajeromadaje]

One do the best but bro you have some gold man, that book goes for hundreds now

[TD]

I love the “if you’re not a fan of the show, I’d recommend watching it.”

It’s really that simple. What a masterpiece, changed my life

[Mrs.rainascruggs]

This is one of my dad’s favorite amines and has became mine. I can watch over and over again and never get tired of it. And of course the sound track is perfect

[ScholarlyScalawag]

Probably the greatest anime ever made. Top 3 productions in existence

[GheYank]

I love every thing about the show..never knew they had a book

[Shogunn_Vee]

Champloo not only gave me a lesson, but introduced me to a whole new genre of music. I even ended up buying a huge Mugen poster because I fell in love with this show. Def need this book💯

[GoshOhGosh]

This show was made with love. Will always be my fav anime and one of my fav shows period ❤
