Samurai Champloo Volume 1: v. 1

Product Information

Fuu: A feisty young girl of fifteen years of age, Fuu recruits Mugen and Jin to help her find a sparsely-described man she calls "the samurai who smells of sunflowers." A flying squirrel named "Momo" (meaning "peach" in Japanese and also short for " momonga," meaning "flying squirrel") accompanies her, inhabiting her kimono and frequently leaping out to her rescue. For me, it's just fair enough, but nothing more. The casual story with casual features, which didn't leave me too impressed. You know, while reading I had that impression I had seen something (too) similar so many times. DVD. JVC (in Japanese). Archived from the original on February 11, 2007 . Retrieved January 8, 2022.

Mugen es, sin lugar a dudas, el personaje que mejor representa la fusión de elementos de Samurai Champloo (al menos, de su anime): viste con ropas modernas, aros y sandalias con suela metálica (que usa para partirle la trucha a sus enemigos). Su estilo de pelea, el Champuru kendo, combina elementos de break dance y capoeira. Por desgracia, en esta encarnación, Mugen usa mas su espada y menos sus movimientos de baile, lo que le resta espectacularidad a sus combates. En cuanto a su personalidad, sigue siendo el mismo salvaje, bruto y putañero que todos queremos. La principal diferencia que puede resaltarse con su contraparte animada es que es un poco (solo un poco) más amable con Fuu (principalmente, por que no hay mucho tiempo como para desarrollar más su relación), y que se opone a la xenofobia (en serio!). Este ultimo rasgo dota a Mugen de un poco mas de profundidad, además de ser algo totalmente justificado: el nació en Okinawa, y en el momento en el que transcurre la historia, este era un territorio independiente, con mas relación con China que con Japón.

He wanted to create a series antithetical to the largely calm and mature atmosphere of Cowboy Bebop, wanting a complete change due to fatigue after working on one project for such a long period. [18] [5] The success of Cowboy Bebop meant he was permitted to develop whatever he wanted for his next project. [37] As with his other projects, he drew inspiration from music, then matched a narrative to it. [38] His approach was combining two of his favorite things, classic samurai adventure films and series and hip hop music, into a single work. [12] He created the concept for Samurai Champloo during this period, but work on it was delayed due to his work on Cowboy Bebop: The Movie and his segments of The Animatrix at Studio 4°C. [5] [8] Kobayashi had invited Wanatabe to work on an original project at Manglobe when it was founded in February 2002, and Watanabe sent the Samurai Champloo pitch in May of that year. [8] The pitch included the central concepts for the series, and draft designs for the lead characters. [8] [6] Watanabe invited Nakazawa on board as he was a fan of his work and wanted the opportunity to work with him. Obara, known more for his work on live-action movies and television dramas, was brought in through a mutual friend at Office Crescendo. [5]

Obviously, that's too little unless I overlooked something really great, doubting the quality of that manga too early.
