What happens when sixteenth-century Japan meets bling-bling?

You get Samurai Champaloo!

Has anyone seen the first 2 episodes or so of this series?

Someone told me its from the guy that created Cowboy Bebop.

Anyway, just as Kabitzin, Sugar, Reika, Matthew, Ten, Jeff, BluWacky, and Miwa concur, this series is literally dripping with style. You want remix-esque visual clips? It's there. You want gravity-defying fight scenes? It's there. You want phat graffiti letters? It's there. The point is, if you're looking for eye candy, look no further.

You get a pretty cool anime with the most shit-tacular theme song ever is what happens.

The material's solid enough to stand on its own. All that "hip-hop stylings" bullshit just detracts from what they've put together. B-

I just caught a few minutes of it - looked impressive - I believe it was last night (Wed) about 12 or 1am-ish (possibly a repeat) - I just got the 7 basic channels - so its one of them (not NHK - but thats a given..)

I must say i do like "Full Metal Alchemist"

It's pretty good so far. But yeah, the opening theme is pretty bad. I actually don't mind the hip-hop stuff though. Well, that is until it gets stupid, if it ever does.

To be honest i don't mind the whole hiphop thing, i think it fits in quite nicely.

'Bling-bling'???

Given the beauty and majesty of the English language, for the love of all that is holy in that regard please feel more than free to never use such foolish and moronic American slang again.

As Americans, we must prove to others that we do not all in fact talk like people on Rikki Lake.

I knew you'd understand.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...
