This year marks the 20th anniversary of the original broadcast of Samurai Champloo. To commemorate this milestone, the Samurai Champloo Video Clash contest invited fans to create new videos using footage and audio from the anime. Outstanding entries in the Music Video and Shorts categories were selected from numerous submissions worldwide.
The Music Video category included two awards: the FlyingDog Award, chosen by director Shinichiro Watanabe and his staff, and the Community Award, determined by popular vote. The FlyingDog Award went to suckafish80, while Skildfrix’s entry earned the Community Award.
In the Short Video category, the prizes were awarded to videos by moumi-note and Meme. The two winning entries from the Music Video category are now available on the FlyingDog YouTube channel—don’t miss the chance to check them out!
