\*This is an unofficial batch including all the new v2's which are basically final at this point due to NinjaPanda going on indefinite hiatus. There have been no torrents of this and I’ve also got some extra seedbox bandwidth to kill, so just posting for all to share ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) This is **NinjaPanda's** encode of Samurai Champloo which is, hands down, the **best encode** (dual audio or not) of Samurai Champloo that I've come across. He added fully styled soft subs with karaoke and signs for each episode, great video work, and even has optional 5.1 FLAC audio for those of us who need it. 1080p absolutely does not make a difference for this series. Unfortunately, [**NinjaPanda’s original site**](https://npanime.wordpress.com/) went down a couple months ago. His new one is at least up but that basically caused him to go on indefinite hiatus and drop all his projects. He was going to finish v2’s for basically all the rest of the episodes but ended up stalling at Episode 10v2. This is the latest updated batch of what I think is basically his finished product as the planned changes were incredibly minute (just playing with some encoding settings). All his individual files for the project are still up on [**his site with a MEGA Download Folder**](https://npanime.wordpress.com/projects/samurai-champloo/) if you’re interested.
