Samurai Champloo Volume 1: v. 1

Product Information

A constant in the anime industry is that, in most cases the animated series are based on a manga, a novel or a video game... but there are special cases. Samurai Champloo is one of the exceptions to this rule. Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (perhaps you know his previous work, Cowboy Bebop), Champloo was a great success, thanks for its excellent mix of action, comedy and hip hop music. And since this one was an original production, a manga was created to exploit another media. But instead of being a simple adaptation, this manga is totally original, with new stories Roman Album: Samurai Champloo". Dark Horse Comics. Archived from the original on October 14, 2008 .

A partir de ahí, manga y anime toman rumbos diferentes, pero ambos con la misma onda y espíritu. En lo que el manga se queda un poco corto es que, si bien divertidas y llenas de acción, sus tramas suelen ser un poco más simples que las de su contraparte animada. Parafraseando a una extinta revista de mi país “la historia (de Samurai Champloo) toca temas espinosos como la prostitución, la falsificación, la corrupción, la prostitución, la persecución de los cristianos, la mafia, la homosexualidad y la prostitución”. La versión de papel solo roza algunos de estos tópicos, como los inmigrantes o los mafiosos. Tampoco hay muchos de los elementos modernos que hicieron celebre a SC: acá no hay baseball, grafitis o cosas de ese estilo. Lo que sí está presente son varias referencias al presente, por lo que no se extrañen al ver mencionados a personajes de otros animes, como Fijiko de Lupin, o sagas de juegos, como Dragon Quest (lo cómico de estos comentarios es que solo las personas que los hacen los entienden, el interlocutor nunca tiene idea de que es lo que está hablando el otro).

The main cultural influence on the anime is the music and associated subculture of hip hop. [11] Watanabe had been a fan of hip hop music from his high school years, citing his first exposure as " The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. He compared the samurai culture to hip hop through a similar philosophy of self-identity. [12] The use of hip hop also reinforced the series' focus on its minority and counter-cultural cast, creating a cultural reference by using one with the other. [13] Alongside his liking of hip hop, Watanabe attributed a large amount of the series' inspiration in the works of actor Shintaro Katsu, particularly his historical dramas. The narrative approach of the finished series was inspired by Katsu's notorious habit of directing projects without a set story structure. [5] The word " Champloo" in the title was derived from the Okinawan term chanpurū, with Watanabe comparing the blending of elements in the anime with the meaning of chanpurū. [14] The food depicted in the show was originally accurated to the Edo period, but eventually expanded to include anachronistic dishes such as okonomiyaki. [5] Jin: Jin is a reserved, twenty-year-old ronin who carries himself in the conventionally stoic manner of a samurai of the Tokugawa era. Using his waist-strung daishō, he fights in the traditional kenjutsu style of a samurai trained in a prominent, sanctioned dojo. Jin wears glasses, an available but uncommon accessory in Edo era Japan. Spectacles—called "Dutch glass merchandise" (" Oranda gyoku shinajina" in Japanese) at the time—were imported from Holland early in the Tokugawa period and became more widely available as the 17th century progressed. In Japanese the word "Jin" means "benevolence" or "compassion."Las bases de la historia son más o menos las mismas en ambas encarnaciones: Fuu es una camarera de 15 años que está ahorrando para emprender un viaje en el que busca al misterioso “samurái que huele a girasoles”. Cuando ya estaba a punto de lograr su objetivo monetario, su local es totalmente destruido por la pelea de dos individuos: Mugen, un vagabundo sucio y agresivo, cuyos únicos intereses en la vida son las mujeres, comer y pelear, y Jin, un ronin que viaja por el país buscando una motivación. Muy enojada, Fuu les dice a los dos infelices que no solamente deben posponer su duelo para más adelante, si no que ahora deberán viajar como sus guardaespaldas para pagar su deuda con ella. Es así como empieza el viaje de estos tres pintorescos sujetos que apenas se aguantan (por no decir que cada dos por tres Jin y Mugen empiezan a pelear), en el que las locuras, las penurias, las peleas, y muy especialmente el hambre están a la orden del día. Champloo has great animation on par with Bebop, but it can be very inconsistent: one episode could have amazing action sequences and other episodes seem to be constrained by budget. This is to the same degree with characters: the main cast isn't necessarily as charismatic or meaningfully developed as the Bebop cast, though they are pretty funny. Music is good (for reasons entirely different than Bebop), though some episodes don't give it an opportunity to shine. Top Selling Anime DVD Movies". Anime News Network. January 31, 2006.
