Champloo

Subject: Noir
So whadd'ya all think? Should I just go ahead and buy "Samurai Champloo" cold? Without having seen it? It's at the top of my rental queue, but I'm guessing it will be perpetually unavailable for a while.

Everything I've read about it tells me that I will like it a lot. Bebop's director & creative team... samurai... hip-hop soundtrack... story more about the journey than the destination... and did I say samurai?

I'd suggest downloading the first episode and deciding if you like it based off of that. If you can't find it just go to www.animeyume.org.

Well, seeing as I've thrown away more than $30 on sillier things, and I just happened to be near a Best Buy this evening, I jumped on the grenade and picked it up. I'll watch it on Saturday and see if I'm warranted in believing this was a good idea or not!
