Samurai Champloo is by far my favorite anime. The artwork is fantastic, the character personalities are very well developed, the storyline is as interesting as one can be. The Fight scenes are incredible. The Music is weird and different, Nujabes is cool in a word. Its a series like no other that ive encountered in my entire experience in Anime. Its kinda of like the way Princess Monokee touches you, or Spirited Away. The details...the script...the music...everything makes it something special. I like Naruto, because of the characters, the battles, the strategy that takes place, the development of the characters, and the *graphics* in a sense. But Samurai Champloo.....Im looking for a great anime, in the way that Samurai Champloo is......Please give me your recommendations...I hope someone that feels the way I do when i watch some of the anime that i mentioned above, the way you get touched and taken in by them, please let me know of any other ones, movies or series out there that youve seen and can think of recommending.

Artistically, I find Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit to be pretty similar to Samurai Champloo. It just started on Adult Swim about a month ago.
These are all my faves:
Eureka Seven
Inuyasha
Fullmetal Alchemist
Fruits Basket
Hack//sign
Hack//legend of the twilight
Gunslinger Girl
Bleach
DNAngel
Samurai Champloo
Naruto
DearS
Chobits
Those are all my faves. DearS and Chobits, though, I think you would like the least (that's the way it is for me anyway). Hope I helped -^^-
1) Samurai X OVAS
2) Death Note (trust me you will get caught up in this)
3) Code Geass
I think those would fit you perfectly. Look them up!
