I liked what I saw last night. gonna watch it again later and compare the english to the japanese when I can. Beautiful to look at, the production is top notch for sure. the plot seems intentionally silly now, but I have a feeling it will eventually narrow down to something interesting. either way, I hope this does well enough so we get more anime airing in the states like this going forward.

Yes, I like the fact that Japan and US are airing anime simultaneously.

The series seems to me more in tune with the comedic episodes seen in Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo (Mushroom Samba, Beatbox Bandits, Cowboy Funk), which were pretty funny.

The main character is a mixture of the singing samurai from "The Art of Altercation" episode (Samurai Champloo) and Cowboy Andy.
I am very curious how this series will turn out. Watanabe has not disappointed me yet, I loved all his previous works.
