fwiw I'd say they were both equally cool, in different ways. Beebop more like a series of short stories, Champloo like a novel, though had to catch it from the start to realize that. If you haven't checked out the Beebop movie, do. Very well done.
Sword fights - check out Bleach. Simple swords pale in comparison to 'zaam-pok-toas' (sp). Of course we mere mortals cannot wield the latter.
Offered from one who still thinks Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris & Natasha are still fun.
On a side note - Tyson; Scapa, 14 yr, Single Malt, Ornkey brew- med color, very smooth, light taste (too lazy to jump threads)
