As in his previous series, Watanabe mixes genres and attitudes into a cohesive whole. SAMURAI CHAMPLOO is set in feudal Japan, but combines that with a hip-hop soundtrack and contemporary attitude. Mugen, a wild and animalistic warrior, starts a fight with calm and mild-mannered Jin, in the midst of a tea house. When the two men are threatened with execution, flaky waitress Fuu rescues them both. However, their freedom has a price, as Fuu recruits them to help her find the mysterious "samurai who smells of sunflowers." This release contains the fifth and sixth episodes of the action series. In these episodes, Mugen, Jin, and Fuuu get distracted from their mission by the need for money. As various attempts to make some cash turn disastrous, it looks like they may never find the "Sunflower Samurai." [More]
