Samurai Champloo

[beck]

Well, I finally caved in. After chatting with wardove Sunday night and she talking about SC again, had me wanting to watch what few eps I recorded of the dub. I was also lucky enough to find some dl's of the complete series and at a decent speed so its not taking nearly as long to get the rest of the eps.

Watching the dub is too much like a combo of watching Gungrave and Bebop. Jin is Brandon's voice, Mugen is Spike, Fuu is Mika, the chick who was setup to kill Mugen in #2 was Faye (which sounds creepy hearing Faye trying to seduce Spike *lol*), and the fat fuck governor in the first two eps was Jet/Bear Walken (Gungrave for those that didn't know).

I only got as far as the 2nd eps but will at least catch up on watching some subs tonight. I think I also might drag guardianhunter down with me on this series since she was in the living room as she caught the 2nd half of the 1st eps and seemed to like it.

*dramatic sigh*

Oh whatever shall I do.

I love Samurai Champloo with a million loves, and episode 11 is one of the loveliest stories I've seen in anime, but you should be forewarned that it has no plot to speak of. Also, IMO, the sub is the way to go on this one. Mugen's VA puts just the right mix of dangerous and dopey into Mugen's voice, and while David Lucas does well, he can't touch this one in the original.

I had to go ahead and watch #11 since you brought it up. Man, I see what ya mean. Though Fuu's jealousy was funny along with Mugen's beatle training. I guess maybe its a good thing this series doesn't have much of a plot?

The dub is eeeh...okay but I found things that just grate on my nerves, ESPECIALLY for how Jin says his name. He keeps saying GENE, not JIN. I'm not found of David doing Mugen's voice, just doesn't seem to fit the character. After watching #3 last night in sub format, I fell over in giggles cause Mugen's seyiuu is Zoro from One Piece, so fitting for that considering how both their attitudes are and both like to play with swords.

Second the above person's comments about sub Mugen's voice. David Lucas can't do the growls and the battle cries like the seiyuu can; he just doesn't sound unhinged feral enough. Mugen's a wild man; Lucas is composed.

Oh whatever shall I do.

WRITE SMUT! Lots and lots of smut!

Not to be pushy at all, but any plans to finish the GTO lemon?

Yeah, I'm not fond of David doing his voice. Just doesn't seem to fit the character. I couldn't stop laughing last night when I watched an eps of the sub cause Mugen's seiyuu is also Zoro from One Piece. Both characters are so fitting considering their attitudes and their sword play.

Mugen's a wild man; Lucas is composed.

So true.

WRITE SMUT! Lots and lots of smut!

Look at you, already demanding smut! *laughs* We'll see how much the series will pull me in once I'm done watching it.

Not to be pushy at all, but any plans to finish the GTO lemon?

Funny you should bring that up. I was actually reading over it a couple weeks ago and realized I should get my ass in gear and finish it. Its near complete anyways so it shouldn't take too much to get it done. Maybe I can hope for a spring release, this yr that is. *lol*

Yes, smut! Smutty smut smut!

David Lucas actually did better than I had expected when I heard he'd been cast as Mugen. But he's still too calm and well spoken.

And yay for OniFu smut!
