Summary:
Mugen is a fierce animal-like warrior with a unique Bboying (break-dance) inspired fighting style. Jin has a more traditional style but don’t think of this as a weakness because his skills are amazing. The two contrasting samurai warriors are far from friends, yet their separate paths seem to cross anyways. Mugen is wandering aimlessly through the city when he stumbles upon a teahouse where he meets Jin and Fuu (A ditzy waitress, but don‘t think she doesn‘t have anything hidden up her sleeves). Fuu convinces them both to come with her in search of a mysterious samurai that smells like sunflowers and their journey begins. This modernized hip-hop tale breaks the barriers of the common, historical, samurai anime.
This is a story for adults. And a very good one. I REALLY appreciate that, being an oldster.
The characters are engaging, believable. The stories are truly excellent.
There is simple humor, which is nice, and there is complex humor, which is very nice.
Animation is slightly above average, but the art - the drawing - makes it even above that. [Excellent only compared to other serials - merely "good" compared to Miyazaki movies and the like]
