I mean she ain't wrong, Mugen and Jin are kinda shitty bodyguards.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

[up]That's because they don't care for Fuu! I forget why they're still with her, anyway!

What's the difference between a recap and a clipshow?

Its hard to guard to someone when you don't really care them & not have much incentive or reason besides a promise.

@ Maestro: Really? That makes it even better.

@ asia: The wiki itself sums it up better, but both include bits and pieces of previous episodes, usually to get viewers up to speed, though recaps usually tend to emphasize themes or character dynamics or whatnot whereas clip shows are mainly done because of budget constraints (so previous footage is regurgitated and spliced together to basically serve the same role as filler).

It's almost like the narrator was offering a rhetorical apology for tonight's content. Whole lotta sexy on Toonami tonight.

Even back then, Japanese porn had ugly guys violating not-so ugly women, yeesh.

Also tangent about modern American culture segues into temple flashback.

[up][up][up] Well, prepare for Naruto to ruin the sexy in about 5 minutes. [lol]

The philosophical lectures in this episode actually highlight how profound Champloo can be underneath all of the zany hijinks the protagonists face.

Trolled by Fuu. Those two didn't even see it coming. [lol]

Don't worry. It's only temporary. This episode and three others go for alternate EDs.

[up] One Piece actually ventured out of the Filler Zone last week, but I do not blame you where Shipudden is concerned.

Heh if she knew they would eventually read her diary it explains why its not particularly informative or as deep as you'd think a diary be.

So does this mean Japan is kinda regressing back to an ancient era? One that wasn't actually a very good one to begin with?

Also I miss the Akatuski days, especially when Tobi was such a lovable goofball.

At this point it's a struggle. The earthquake-tsunami problems didn't help at all.
