MVM is listing a new Collector's Blu-ray edition of Shinichiro Watanabe's 2004 series Samurai Champloo, to be released on June 17. It will mark the twentieth anniversary of the original broadcast of the 26-part series. This edition will include art cards.
MVM describes the story of the series:
"Death, betrayal, and... hip hop! Mugen's a buck wild warrior: violent, thoughtless and womanizing. Jin is a vagrant ronin: mysterious, traditional, well-mannered and very strong. These two fiercely independent warriors couldn't be more different from one another, yet their paths cross when Fuu, a ditzy waitress, saves them from being executed when they are arrested after a violent swordfight. Fuu convinces the two vagrant young men to help her find a mysterious samurai 'who smells of sunflowers.' And their journey begins."
