It's all due to the voice acting. Steven Blum Is probably one of the best voice actors for America. I mean come on. He's in Digimon, to Gungrave, Trigun, Samurai Champaloo, and my favorite, GITS Stand Alone Complex as "The Laughing Man"! Its talent like him and Jonny Yong Bosch that make the dub versions so worth watching. IMO that is

Oh, that he did! Both are just amazing at voice acting, and just the stuff that Steven has done... With that you can see why I love anime so much... More notable stuff and stuff that will be there...

Samurai Champloo never really impressed me. I can watch, but have no interest in owning or DLing it.

What was your reasons man? I really didn't get into it for the fact that it wasn't a story to get into. The voice acting was good, but it wasn't a story I much got into. The only thing that was good besides the voice acting, was mugan's personality.

That's pretty much how I felt about it. It didn't really make me feel an attachment to any of the characters. Not only that, it was the same guy that did Bebop, so I guess my expectations were set too high for it. It just didn't compare on any level with Bebop. Less character development, less plot development, etc. And I feel the music sucked, and didn't fit with the time period of the series at all. I dunno, I just feel as tho it could've been so much more. Look how much he achieved on both a plot and character level in Bebop, but then you compare it to SC, and you just gotta think, wtf man?

Well, that's very true, but being from the same guy, I though SC would at least get somewhat close. It didn't. lol

Oh, I think GITS is up there as far as development in character and plot.

I get you 100 percent... He tried to do what, IMO, Afro Samurai did. Made a Newage feel to the old era's... Which was a bad thing to do really. If you are going with the old era, and try and do the story right, you need not to change it. Sakuri went that way, and they did good at the small changes from the org.
He just tried so hard to make an upbeat feel to it, that he lost all thought about it. Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai 7 are the only two that really did some good. Kenshin more so. IMO

It is one of the high ups in my opinion. They did so great as of plot, and how everyone was tied in. I get so hooked in the show I all ways will watch the reruns, and see all the movies again. I bought the "Laughing Man" version of the first season, and I've all ready watched it 4 times, and have it on my Zune to watch at work! :roll:

To note to everyone in the US. Appleseed Ex Machina is coming out on Tuesday! All ready have it set for Netflix, and also buying it Friday!
