Can we see such serious animation in the future?

Very pure style. The portraits are sketched, the distant view is watercolor, and the close-up is sketched from life. The details are meticulous, the pictures are detailed and appropriate, and the colors are complex but not chaotic. Each frame can be used as a wallpaper. The design of the opening and closing credits is particularly good, and I have watched it countless times.

The story takes place in the Edo period, at the end of the feudal rule, but the spirit of Bushido is particularly pure. Coupled with the romance and passion of the youth, the journey of the three protagonists is like a never-ending summer. There are many fighting scenes during the journey. There are no fancy magics and abilities, and the most primitive swords are returned, but the depiction is dangerous, thrilling, and hearty, and the image of the knight is vivid on the paper.

The story is told round by round, and many unnecessary plots are omitted in the middle, which makes the narrative less coherent, but also increases the interest of the story. The main line of the normal narrative is interspersed with historical ridicule, mixed with hiphop culture, and paid tribute to the ukiyo-e style that emerged in the Edo period, making the whole story humorous and interesting.

After watching the whole drama, there are tensions, anger, sadness, laughter, and a full desire to explore, but at the end, it all turned into a smile and a sigh-the journey is over, and the journey is over. The teenagers all said that they found a partner, but invariably chose to part ways and embark on a journey that only belongs to them. Perhaps loneliness is the eternal theme of human beings. Thinking of what Teacher Sa said, "I think the moment when people meet, the most beautiful spark blooms. They understand and respect each other, and then say goodbye silently. You can't follow his light forever."

I wish the separated teenagers to live the life they want, no matter whether life is as short as a mayfly or as long as a giant tree, they can live a wonderful life without regrets.

Samurai Champloo quotes

  • Sara: What I can't see I can sense.

    Mugen: [stumbling, bleeding] What?

    Sara: Inside of you looms a simmering storm of hatred and rage, but perhaps what I'm actually sensing is sadness. It's as if you've never once been loved by anyone; it's as if you're just like me.

  • Jin: [Confronting the Yagyu guards as they are about to dispatch an innocent peasant] To serve your lord and do his bidding, is that honor?

    Yagyu badass: [scoffs] Of course it is.

    Jin: Even if that lord is an unimportant piece of shit?

    Yagyu badass: [the Yagyu draw their swords to attack] What the? Watch your mouth! Don't try to interfere!

    Jin: Cutting down a man who's done nothing wrong; is that what you spent all that time honing those skills for?

    Jin: In my opinion, you're worthless.

    Yagyu badass: [rushes at him] Screw You!

    [Jinn kills all three Yagyu guards with his sword]
