Growing up in the Voltron era, anime has always been a part of my life. I don't have the time to research new animes anymore as when I was single and still a kid. One night, I saw Samuria Champloo on Cartoon Network and I was immediately hooked. The animation and art work are superb. They add the humor without making it too cartoony. The voice acting done is fantastic. There is not a single episode without action. And as the series goes on, it only gets better. So if you wish to see some great action, and care about plots, this anime is for you. You won't be disappointed.
