OMG I loved Samurai Champloo!!! It was one of those animes that got aired in my country in some late night program and I recorded all episodes and watched them over and over. It's still an anime on my buy list (I didn't so far because my ex-boyfriend had it and there was no need to for some time lol and then I ran out of money XD)

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Sacchan! Hope you're doing well and that you are enjoying the holidays! ^^
