Samurai Champloo and other anime series featuring men with big swords

[thistlechaser]

I watched ep #3 of Samurai Champloo before work this morning, and all I can say is: Wow! I love this series. Love it, love it, love it! I love it in the "What day if the week is it? How long until the day the next ep is out?" sort of way. The characters are so interesting! And non-typical! (Is there even a protagonist in the series? Maybe the girl, Fuu?) I love Jin and Mugen! (And tell me there's nothing slashy there. Yes, yes, Mugen eyes girls and Jin turned down that old guy who hit on him, but how can the two of them be so totally and utterly obsessed with each other? They're nearly vibrating with slashy-ness!)

I'm really itching to re-watch the Peacemaker Kurogane series; it won't be long until it gets to the point that I can't resist it. But time! Where will I find the time? But the whole Suza part of the storyline is eating my brain! Must Watch Again. (His head! He took his head! Arg!)

Stop bugging me, work! Can't you see that I'm trying to LJ post?! Bah. I'll just hit post now. Mumble.

I've only seen the first two episodes of Samurai Champloo but I like it a lot too. Glad to hear that episode 3 is just as good. My favorite is Mugen, but I really do like all three of them, and the interaction between Jin and Mugen is wonderful. *_*

The part in PMK that I probably would have difficulty watching again would be Ayu-nee. *cries just thinking about it*

I know! The roof scene and everything about her torture/killing would be really hard to watch again... but I guess that's the sign of a good series, huh?

The third ep of Samurai Champloo only came out yesterday (at least by the better of the groups doing it), so you haven't missed it for long! I hope you enjoy it, too! :)
