Sometime during the 17th-19th century, during the Japanese "Edo era", two Samurai Warriors known as Mugen and Jin, have a chance meeting with a 15 year old girl named Fuu. Through a series of events, Fuu leads the warriors on a quest into several differant Japanese locations to find the samurai who smells of sunflowers. Little do the 3 unique characters realize just where fate will take them.Theme Song (Battlecry by Nujabes) Lyrics: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 is operandi is amalgam
steel packed tight in microchip
on my arm a sign of all-pro
the ultimate reward is honor, not awards
at odds with the times in wars 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

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
(repeat)… Expand

This show was devised as transferring Cowboy Bebop into the Samurai Edo period. It has the same strengths with well written characters with depth and incredible backstories, a worldbuilding you always believe and stories that are engaging. Unlike Cowboy Bebop it is not that well rememberedThis show was devised as transferring Cowboy Bebop into the Samurai Edo period. It has the same strengths with well written characters with depth and incredible backstories, a worldbuilding you always believe and stories that are engaging.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No me gusta mucho el anime, pero esto es lo mejor que han visto mis ojos, a parte que el soundtrack me gusto mucho, me gusta la combinación de samurais, lofi y un poco de graffiti… Expand
