Let s gooo 🥲
Bruh. This track still hits hard asf
Thanks crunchy, didn't know u still worried about this anime
Lastima que no hay sub en español
YESSS
Mixing samurai and hip hop is absolute genius
I was saying the same thing. They both fit so well.
Sounds like eminem
@@Patrick-dj9dd man like RZA
@@CakewalkCODM this dont sound like eminem at all
@@CakewalkCODM you don’t know hip hop bruh this ain’t no Eminem
This screams late night adult swim
It does come out on toonami now in case you weren't aware
Peace my brotha✌️
Yep
@@sjoker27 I like that they brought it back to adult swim with toonami. I remember back when this came on adult swim and toonami was still apart of cartoon network.
Capn Fox so true
True!
the only opening i never skip.
What you mean “only”?
@@mtndewisawesome3951 he means its the only opening out of other openings that he doesn't skip :/
As many times as I've seen it I never skip "Tank!" Either
@@Scaring-Crows THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT NEEDED TO BE SAID!!! (sorry for all caps)
@@JaVWS why are you mad he’s just explaining to someone who obviously didn’t know what the comment meant?
Just seen this show for the first time it was amazing 😢 need more shows similar to this
Same dude mugen is just an amazing mc and honestly I am so grateful I watched this show , The openings and osts are some of the best parts in the series
It'd be cool if this timeline was connected to the Cowboy Bebop timeline and Mugen was actually Spike's ancestor or something like that. Not an original thought, but still a neat one.
A step further to have space dandy be an even more distant descendant
I favor this 🙌
@@PowerfulSniff yeah im thinking hype
That lowkey sounds like a good idea if they did that, all 3 shows have the same feel so it would be even better if they were connected
And squeez Michiko and Hatchin somewhere in between
Masterpiece.
Best anime intro of all time
0:10 something abt the way Mugen looks up is so endearing to me--i catch myself rewinding to rewatch that small bit often. Idk its like hes reassuring us, the viewer that everything is going to be ok. He just looks so at peace with himself here and I seek that shit.
It's the look of somebody that's sure of themselves lol and that's exactly what mugen was. That's why his background is a rooster. Cocky as hell and always strutting 😂 Mugen was the man in his eyes always
@@sterlt.2836 i love your insight on that. lovely perspective mate (rewatching it rn lol)
@@moonsets-on_you this intro runs deep my friend. Look at the various sea creatures in the water background for Jin and how calm he is. His demeanor by default is relaxed and chill, but you see that lightning fast, clean, killing blow E executed fluidly and his killer instinct. Much like the water he goes with flow and is dangerous lol.
@@sterlt.2836 i was able to vaguely catch that thanks to you. though i didnt manage to put it into words. I think when Jin begins to strike thats when the fish are replaced by octopus for a moment which is interesting. im really bad at making visual connections like that. im much better with character dialogue and the hidden meaning to be found there.
This being a diss makes it even better ❤😂❤ rip live free
Fun Fact: This anime was on the top ten list of animes to watch while high off of weed you heard. It’s the jazzy/hiphop themed music
The humor is spot on
It’s entertaining
And those REAL moments get you in the feels. Like that one episode where Jin was talking to the pretty lone female staring at the ocean or whatever type of body of water that was. She was planning to commit suicide yet she was saved or more like some other force guided Jin to her. In the end he set the boat off and told her to go be free and live your own life. Deep shit
Fun fact: This is one of the best anime, even without being inebriated.
Legendary anime
This is insignificant but yesterday I ate the best watermelon of my entire life
That is not insignificant. It was the best watermelon of your life bro, I'm happy for you. Hope you managed to find another since you wrote this comment.
I didn't get it but thanks🍉
I honestly prefer Samurai Champloo to Cowboy Bebop
So?
I agree with you. Too me Cowboy Bebop was over hyped but still good.
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave
I'll be on my way now
I respect that, but i grew up watching anything sci-fi. So when i first watched Cowboy bebop i fell in love.
Same, but it’s because I watched Champloo first...and I also love badass samurais.
Seriously goated show
One of the best op ever classic 🙌🏻
I’m still listening to this in 2023, It’s such a nostalgic feel🤗🤗🤗
I hope a Samurai Champloo come back happens
Yea. Like how they did samurai jack
aye.... this is so nostalgic.... why did nujabes have to pass so soon, thank god shinichiro watanabe is still a master at his craft.
This hasss to be my all time fav anime opening it’s sooo 🔥
Memories :)
god i loved this as a kid
One of the first anime ops I listen to.
After 6 years I have listened to this magnificent openin again, it's about time I see it again and remember that anime, back then, I didn't even know it was anime hahaha
Just finished the anime.. Man, I'm fucking crying...
2017 anyone?
The L Giver 2018 boiii
2019 son lol
Make that 2020 not to far away, y'all.
And 2020
I’ve found my tribe.
'Naw bro, we don't skip this intro.'
fuckin A
Big facts🦁
Take your W sir
Oh yeah this and bebop
ong
I miss this style of anime the most.
Modern anime sucks
Gangsta on funimation gives me the same vibes of this hella good soundtrack and story but only one season 🤦
I generally just miss old anime. It was way more experimental back then, whereas now it's just the same stereotypical shit.
@J it doesn't, b u t it doesn't have that before 2010 feel. The only modern anime I can think of with this feel is Megalo Box
1:14
This anime was so surreal... I felt like I was in a dream every time I watched an episode. I had the same feeling when I watched cowboy bebop. Shiniichiro watanabe is so taletned
A wise man once said "This is a dream I never awoke from."
And I don't wanna wake up :)
Then go watch space dandy! It’s his last masterwork!
@@ThePerSianPriNcee yes it's freaking amazing

@@snegamanjini6592 Yes sir
All adult swim animes just hit different with that sleepy nostalgic vibe to it. Shout out to everyone who grew up in that early 2000s anime era.

yeah i miss the 2000's it had a more crazy creative diverse vibe it felt more like home...
Frfr bro I miss those days 🙌🏾😭😭🙏🏾💯
🙌🏻
Word shit was so different back than
We need more hip-hop inspired music in anime, or even just in anime openings like this
this is just the vibe that shinichiro brings to all the shit he directs
Right. The heavy rock or high-pitched chicks singing is cool sometimes, but some chill hip-hop type stuff is what I really want.
@@Gandhi_Physique yeah, would be nice every now and then at least lol
RIP Nujabes
@@adalmarcial3096 No, this is just the vibe Nujabes brought to everything he touched. Rip the goat
Fun fact: The Boondocks intro was inspired by this! Love Samurai Champloo!
Not everything
Boondocks was comic strip or something wasn't it
cowboy bebop too
nope. bebop was before champloo...
TheOfficialSexyChicken you're right. you said the opening I was thinking of the fight scene coreography.
“Some days some nights, some live some die in the way of the samurai” lives in my head head rent free

@@sunflowersamurai10 Thanks brother.
Add trigun to the list
should also add jormungand
“Nujabes didn’t popularize LoFi, he created it”
LoFi music style was totally different, Nujabes changed everything and I'm not complaining.
Nujabes created his own genre, popularised it and pioneered it leaving something special for the artists after him to expand and experiment with. He was an OG and everyone should think that way.
well J Dilla was there too , in fact the share birthdays
@@justpassingthrough.9943 Man can't forget about Dilla 💯.. My personal opinion I'd say Dilla introduced LoFi hiphop Najubes capitalized LoFi hiphop
nujabes didn't create lofi lmao
The fact that this isn't on Spotify is a crime
*on
Pretty hard to find on deezer too
I was literally looking rn
Indeed
It actually is, in the form of a podcast
just finished this anime and it’s a fucking master piece
this is the only show that i think is perfect
@@JaVWS ill be honest i haven't seen it yet but I've been told good things about it
AGREED! Depressed that it ended tho...
@@JaVWS objectively speaking cowboy bebop is slightly better but I prefer this anime because I love its style and characters.
Grew up on Anime and just found it two days ago. I've never fell in love with anything so quick lol.
My only problem with this series: I went through the whole series asking "But what do sunflowers smell like" and then the last episode answered with "sunflowers don't have a smell". I almost threw my chair out the window.
bruh i've been reading your comments for years. just shave the mustache
*wHy aRE yoU everywerr????*
Why not just smell one to find out for yourself. ?
@@deadman2oo yeah bro those normies so annoying
Prolly smells nutty
This opening pretty much single-handedly started Lo-fi culture as we know today.
I wholeheartedly agree. Have you ever listened to the album pygmalion or the song sing by slowdive? J-Dilla was pretty early too.
No wtf? The start of lofi hiphop was with people like a tribe called quest and madlib and mf doom. Not fucking anime lol
@@mehimself3936 Its not about the anime genius, it's about the music in the anime, imo the music for this anime is what introduced many to lofi and was such a huge influence on the culture thanks to Nujabes.
@@MarioStickMan12 No,i disagree. I believe rappers that were already around that circle of lofi hip hop is what popularized lo-fi rap. Like i don't think anime was that popular back then in 2005,so it being a reason for lo-fi hip hop to be as popular as it is is kinda far fetched. Lofi hiphop was a thing for 3 decades and an anime opening isn't a reason an entire genre sky rocketed lol.
@@mehimself3936 clown
One of the best ever made
It's still underrated, and still the best. This show had great soundtrack, one of the best animations ever, and has God Nujabes in it's intro
THE BEST
I loved the story and the adventure..🥺 give it a 10/10
@@bobbyjamabo3296 hell yeah. It was empowering about a bunch of underdogs. And the song: ; Buster dust, rocks!!! I had a poster of Mugen I bought in Dallas, Texas, an anime shop...I lost it. But.. yeah... Samurai Champloo rocks. I'm 34. ..I remember the excitement of when it was on tv ... Peace!!!
@@loop6913 I started to watching this anime today and this is my first time watching anime I watched 8or9 episodes and liked it so much. After I finish it what anime should I watch (I liked this drawing type and old times samurai catagory)
This the hardest Anime intro song I’ve ever heard and it’s STILL untouchable in 2022
Wish there was more hiphop/rap type beats and chill music for anime openings/closings. The rock and weird japanese electronic stuff is cool, but it doesn't hit the same. Bleach did good I think, but not many do.
@@Gandhi_Physique you’re absolutely right, there’s definitely a few that got a pass with the Japanese rock music on the intros, but a lot of the good ones needed better intro and outro music
The boondocks
@@Puppy_Puppington oh of course Boondocks is by far my favorite, this one just takes me back to my childhood
Still untouched in 2023 as well
It's rare for an anime to have both an S-tier opening song and an S-tier ending song, but they somehow did it.
It's pretty common honestly
@@kei7540 yeah xd
@@kei7540 oh REALLY? Name 5👍
I mean it is directed by shinichiro watanabe what do you expect
I would say that Cowboy Bebop is also in that S-tier category. Both the opening song and the ending song is amazing.
If you skip Samurai Champloo opening you will be put on the FBI most wanted list
Forgive me father... I've sinned...
you know shit is good when you NEVER skipped the opening nor the ending.

Never
I don’t even need to worry

It’s a crime this isn’t on Spotify.
fr
The beat is on Spotify - other side of phase
But not the lyrics sadly.
Yeah im going to setel it
It's on there but it's unavailable so you can't listen to it😔😔😔☹️
You can just download the song as an mp3 and it’ll show as local files in your Spotify
This is probably the best anime opening I've ever seen. You can see the personality of each character without saying nothing, the sound and the background images set the flow and the place of the story.
Their character designs are so well made, the intro just makes it better.
This and Cowboy Bebop are definitely in an intense battle for my top spot. Kengan Ashura is a solid 3rd
justliketheCowboyBebopopening-
Definitely one of my favorite. Will go down with the classics like Evangelion and Beebop. Also, even though it's pretty bad I always hold a place in my heart for the 1997 Berserk intro. It's cheesy, the music is off key, the lyrics are dumb, vocals are horrible, and it has NOTHING to do with the series, but it's just super nostalgic to me.
Agree
Intro made being a Samurai look more gangster than actually being a gangster.
why does this make sense
Well Samurais weren't all that much like we tend to describe them, righteous warriors with a strong code of honor and all...
Well aside from the part about the strong code of honor ("Bushido", aka the path of the warrior, if I'm not mistaken), samurais weren't actually all that good and righteous back in feudal Japan.
@@megapulsar9244 yup most were scumbags drunk with power (that power is them being trained to kill etc) , people were terrified of them especially ronin, samurais with no lord or allegiance... basically crazy men walking around with sharp swords that could end you in a second.
@@megapulsar9244 Neither are the characters in this show, they murder shitloads of people for basically no reason throughout the series

Why did Netflix get rid of this.... WHY?!?
NETFLIX HAD SAMURAI CHAMPLOO AT SOME POINT IN HISTORY AND I WASN'T INFORMED? F*CK MY LIFE
Feodor Blinnikov Netflix is garbage. Hulu has this and more anime.
Just watch it on crunchyroll you don't need an account or premium subscription to watch it
Its all on UA-cam. Subbed and dubbed

The animation is so clean in this anime. If google told me this came out in 2020 I’d believe it, it looks better than most anime today.
Facts
*Takeshi Koike* does not disappoint. He created the movie Redline every single shot of that film was hand-drawn and inked and *I THINK* he caused the company that was bankrolling the movie to go bankrupt.

Underrated comment.
I love Mugen’s face while running 0:57 shows how much more animalistic he is compared to Jin’s calm composed manor while running
BRUH SAMEE
Yup
Except Jin isnt actually composed
Hes just trained to seem like it...Samurai were not only trained in combat their other half of training came in the form of scholarly education and etiquette
We see in his many fights that hes not always in "control" and has to make calculations to match and exceed his adversaries
@@joecool9739 his demeanor is calm tho
Mugen and Jin represent the two sides of the Samurai spirit, Instinct and Discipline.
I honestly believe this show was what helped bridge the gap between hip-hop culture and otaku culture. Rock, punk, and EDM have always had great representation in anime. Either through clothing and hair styles, OPs, and rebellious character traits. But SC changed the game and introduced hip-hop culture to otakus and anime to hip-hop fans. This was a cultural revolution that blended urban stylings and creativity on both ends.
Felipe Revuelta NEET's have a chance!
Felipe Revuelta another is Afro Samurai
cough cough incredible true story by Logic
What about Boondocks too.
DoggosarenotPuppers Boondocks came a little bit after SC. But yeah, that show and Afro Samurai helped bridge cultures too. My main point is that SC was a show that a lot of hip-hop and urban fans could really connect to.

Sharp like an edge of a samurai sword
The mental blade cut through flesh and bone
Though my mind's at peace, the world out of order
Missing the inner heat, life gets colder
Oh yes, I have to find my path
No less, walk on earth, water, and fire
The elements compose a magnum opus
My modus operandi is amalgam
Steel packed tight in microchip
On my armor a sign of all-pro
The ultimate reward is honor, not awards
At odds with the times in wards with no lords
A freelancer
A battle cry of a hawk make a dove fly and a tear dry
Wonder why a lone wolf don't run with a clan
Only trust your instincts and be one with the plan
[Hook:]
Some days, some nights
Some live, some die
In the way of the samurai
Some fight, some bleed
Sun up to sun down
The sons of a battlecry
Finally a non lame anime lyrics
Here 👑 you dropped this
So hard to keep up lol
Your goated on the sticks
Rest in peace king
I love how the lyrics perfectly fit each of the characters.
Mugen: "Sharp like an edge of a samurai sword
The mental blade cut through flesh and bone
Though my mind's at peace, the world out of order
Missing the inner heat, life gets colder"
Mugen's fighting style is unconventional, yet sharp like the blade he wields, and it is this unpredictabilty that allows him to easily cut through obstacles. Despite his traumatic childhood, he seems to be the most at peace with himself compared to his companions. This is likely due to his understanding that the world is out of order and life is difficult. As a result, he has become a realist who sees things as they are, without being overly optimistic or pessimistic.
Jin: "Oh yes, I have to find my path
No less, walk on earth, water, and fire
The elements compose a magnum opus
My modus operandi is amalgam"
Jin is a person who is motivated by a deep sense of purpose and a quest for meaning. He has already overcome numerous challenges, symbolized by his journey through earth, water, and fire, which represent the hardships of his life. The phrase "magnum opus" is used to describe Jin's fighting style, which is comparable to the work of an artist or composer. This is fitting, as Jin's battles are characterized by grace and elegance. Overall, Jin's character is defined by his resilience and his pursuit of excellence in all aspects of his life. He is a true samurai.
Fuu: "Steel packed tight in micro-chip
On my armor a sign of all-pro
The ultimate reward is honor, not awards
At odds with the times in wards with no lords"
Fuu is undoubtedly the smartest member of the trio, with a determined focus on finding the Samurai who smells of sunflowers. Her "steel packed" demeanor suggests that she is the team's innovator and the one who holds Mugen and Jin together. Fuu's motivation seems to stem from a sense of honor rather than material gain, as evidenced by the third line. Her personality strikes a perfect balance between Jin's Samurai side and Mugen's Champloo renegade side, blending both worlds seamlessly. Overall, Fuu's presence is essential to the success of the trio.
Mugen enneagram 8
Jin enneagram 1
Bruh, the way they put their compilations together on beat with the song and the visuals...perfect
Awesome explanation. Someone else already mentioned what I’m about to say but the colors for each of their segments also match pretty good, for Mugen he has a range of warm red when he’s doing some attack or running but when he’s calm he’s a cool red and even some blue, it signifies how Mugens hot head temper is constantly fluctuating up and down
Jin remains cool blue throughout his intro as he always remains calm and collected no matter what, as if him drawing the sword is him practicing but the sudden change bright red when he draws towards the camera shows that wasn’t a practice swing and had intent to kill, but then returns to cool blue to show how in control he is of his emotions like a true samurai
Fuu is constantly shown in bright colors as she’s the happiest of the trio and has a bubbly personality and outlook on life, but there’s moments where her shades become more somber reflecting her emotional moments in the show and how even tho she’s always positive her quest is a deeply personal and emotional one. She’s also the most vulnerable and in her segment when she’s in “vulnerable” positions that’s when her colors are darker
Great breakdown! You deserve an award sir
im still in shock that this show is from 2004. it just looks so timeless. i really wish manglobe was still around making masterpieces like this and ergo proxy.
Finally another person on youtube who acknowledges ergo proxy, THANK YOU
Ergo Proxy is surreal and damn that Opening is top tier.. up with nujabes work for sure..

@@xPTKx37 Idk man, a surprising amount of people haven't watched it or dropped it after a few episodes. I always thought it was one of those anime that a lot of people started with but apparently not. Even if something is popular that doesn't mean it isn't underrated.
@@cal5750 domestic anime fans these days are not limited to the couple good shows produced and brought over to the states. With the invention of same-day subtitles and simulcasting, there's simply no desire for most people to go back and discover old classics.

what about saint seiya tho
Berserk is way better
SexyDuck I am watching Berserk now lol.
Silver Gold Jr 1997 not 2016/2017. Then read the mangas
SexyDuck Berserk 97 is no way near as good of an Anime as this show. It’s carried by the source material. Berserk manga is untouchable though.

Lmao
I love how you get a grasp on who the characters are just from the opening alone
dilla and nujabes. godfathers of lo-fi. rest up to those two, hope they’re makin some bops in the afterlife
They had the same birthdate, the stars aligned that day feb 7, 74
@@ennuiblue4295 they also died in the same month and their death dates are anagrams
Still got Fat Jon at least.
This intro tells you everything you need to know about each character. Flawless imagery plus Battlecry is catchy af...10/10
Really is 🙏
Samurai Champloo always felt like I was watching a dream. The art style with the music is just so... I don't know, surreal?
Bro... yes!! This sums up a lot of my feelings about the show. Just looking at images and artwork from the show fills me with emotions that I can't really describe. Especially when watching this opening.
@@leepingprince2461 Exactly!
10/10 anime no doubt
I just realized when Jin shows up at 0:20 there's fish in the background, likely symbolizing his serenity and "go with the flow" attitude.
It is the same for Mugen, who has the roughness and unpredictability of the Rooster, and Fuu for obvious reasons has images of vegetables and flowers lol.
@@TheWildManEnkidu I was just gonna ask what was up wit the mf chicken
@@TheWildManEnkidu I love the contrast. mugen is chaotic and jin is order.
The background animals also represent their respective fighting styles
@@enricousai3010 because he’s cocky
It's illegal to skip this opening
This anime is responsible for those lo-fi hip hop compilations you see everywhere
And bebop too
Nujabes is the one who made the beat and Shing02 is the one who sang the song. You can listen to the hexalogy of Luv(sic), this is basically lo-fi hip hop ahead of it's time. And it's beautiful.
@@lucasb.6178 I don't see it
1:14, ever imagined what a sleep paralysis demon looking into your soul looked like?
For real that part is always eerie af
A cool bit of attention to detail in this opening I think is how the colors the characters are tinted in in their various vignettes are somewhat reflective of their mood at that time. You can see Mugen shifts from chill mode where he's tinted in blue to various warmer shades when he's in the heat of battle, and obviously Fuu has mostly bright and cheery vibes.
But the one I think is coolest is Jin, because you can see that in all but one of his vignettes he's tinted in calm blue, and then the one at 0:24 where he strikes directly towards the camera is in red. To me this is saying that in the other strikes he's just in the middle of practice, but the red one was a strike with actual killing intent...and then he just sheathes his sword in chill blue again as if it never happened. That's dope.
That’s such a badass way of seeing it especially in Jin’s case
Also, the animals in jin and mugens backgrounds represent their character, for jin there's fish which represent his "go with the flow" style and attitude, while Mugen, there is a rooster which I imagine represents how he is flamboyant and aggressive and hard to predict
Gamer Theory level of analyzing.
I'm glad someone finally noticed too
awesome catch
Does anyone else shit bricks at 1:14?
it's creepy

Underrated
I wanted more animes that resemble that era of anime from the late nineties to early 2000s they have an indescridable vibe that belongs to that time and a style so unique it gives me...happy fellings
One of the few times happy feelings like that happen, hu. Makes me happy to have been young in that time
yea
They look cartoony, but distinct from one another. Anime these days feels and looks all the same
I know what you mean
@@Misanthropic_hellhound for real, I keep seeing characters on social media anime pages/groups and think they’re in the same anime but they’re not.
My cats are named after Mugan and Fuu. I’ve gotten questions but this show was my childhood and I’m glad to honor it this way.
Yes!
Hell yeah
That's wholesome
My kittens name is mugen my homie is naming the cat him and his gf just got, jin :)
What about Jin??
0:14 - Contemplating Jetstream Sam meme
Sam hangin wit Mugen would b crazy

+ishmuria boom They can have them. This is a good song.
They are mostly doing this because it is now apart of TOONAMI
+Seth Budrik
The edit they did for the Toonami intro is awful.
Fred Vixama
I hope so as well.

Can they at least not edit them so lazily...?
0:20 - 0:27 the most beautiful seven seconds of animation this century
Sorry but its gonna have to be 0:10 - 0:18 for me
YESSS JIN IS JUST 😩😩👌🥵😳
Both of you are correct, its breathtaking but I like mugens more
I'm more of a 0:30-0:37 man myself
@@suiq2182 Mugen part is soo badass. I love it❤️
First aired May 2004
In 2 month will be 20 years anniversary.
Mugen, Jin and Fuu were 19, 20 and 15 yo.
I wonder what our 39 yo, 40 yo and 35 yo adventurers would be up to today, and especially if Mugen ever did get married to the hot Ninja girl 😊
I miss old anime’s, I miss when they were original and not the same isekai harem bullshit with an overpowered main character right off the gate over and over again.
For real!
There's still good shit in modern anime. Mob psycho 100, Rezero, and odd taxi to name a few
@@professorx8333 to your eternity, chainsaw man,vivy: fluorite eye's song,dororo

Bruh there are a lot of good modern anime are you living under a rock?
One of the best anime openings to ever grace our ears. R.I.P. Nujabes.
This is'nt an anime or a cartoon, this is art
anime and cartoons IS art
its art but its still anime
This show is an absolute masterpiece, from start to finish.
