A full six years later, he followed up his magnum opus with Samurai Champloo. My first exposure to Samurai Champloo was, as many, between my friends. Two guys who made two of the greatest anime films—I’m talking, of course, of Wolf Children and Redline—helped make Samurai Champloo! Samurai Champloo, just like Cowboy Bebop, is about the past, the past of our three main characters, Mugen, Jin, and Fuu. In the episode, Jin, I feel, finally gets a reason to live again and really is rejuvenated through that experience.
