Pony Champloo

I love PMV's that actually do stuff!

You guys should use stuff like this as an example.  Just sayin.

That was awesome =D

Lunasta said...

First? No?

Thattagen said...

Amazing!

Amos said...

Now.. what's "Champloo"...?
What does it mean...

Ace2401 said...

Seth accidentally his sentence.

Flygon16 said...

Dude, I just fangasmed. That was beautiful to look at, massive props to the creator.

/r/ing a wallpaper of the shot with Fluttershy, Philomena, and Angel Bunny.

@Amos Samurai Champloo was an anime series, this is a ponified version of the theme

Anonymous said...

Damn time to find my dvds of Samurai Champloo.
>Inb4 they ponify the episode with the marijuana fields.
Confound these ponies and making me watch great anime. Wait would that be confounding of more of a yay type thing?

Ficksitup said...

Never watched the show, or opening... But I checked the real thing on youtube, THEN this... And I must say, that was -masterfully- done.

Corwyn said...

@AmosParody of Samurai Champloo, a pretty good action/comedy/serious anime series set in feudal-ish Japan. It's more 'normal' than say the semi-plausible antics and cast of Rurouni Kenshin.

Natdug said...

I have a sudden urge to watch Samurai Champloo again..

Errick said...

I think he means "do stuff", like do more than paste clips of the show over a song.

Josh said...

Samurai Champloo+ponies?...huh.

This is so awesome! I love Samurai Champloo and I love this.

@Amos Champloo means mix. Samurai Champloo mixes the traditional samurai life with hip hop.

This is the best crossover PMV next to Pony Bebop!

dw1482 said...

That was pretty awesome.
I too hope to someday so stuff.

Saw this one a few minutes ago on the Brony Facebook. I love this show so much, and this guy got the expressions down damn near perfect.

I love it!
So awesome!! /)^3^(\

Octavia said...

In after grammar correction comments. lol

Eh, I never really got into that anime myself. But the video was alright.

So we got Samurai Applejack, and now we have Pony Champloo.. ok, ponies + ancient Japanese stuff clearly is a winning combination. IS THERE ANYTHING PONIES DON'T MAKE AWESOME?!

Falkenad said...

I love posts that actually so stuff!

>mfw the Japanese is actual translations, not just jibberish

Mike Patton said...

This was very good!

Too bad the guy who wrote the song for Samurai Champloo died. :(

Ryan said...

Whoa. That looked awesome! ...and that song, I heard it somewhere a few years ago when I was younger; I only seen the intro and and looked cool but couldn't figure out what show is it. I know now. I might at as well watch the show if possible.

Comparing that video and the original intro, the user did a very good job trying to replicate it.

samurai champloo is amazing

Anonymous said...

That was great but its funny because when I clicked on this post I though it was something about pony SHAMPOO xD

Wow theres pony of everything. We are becoming touhou!!!

Dormouse said...

Samurai Champloo ponyfied? I love it!

Anonymous said...

Amazing

Firleycat said...

We can tick Samurai Champloo off the list of shows that have yet to combined with ponies. This list getting smaller by the day, I think we are going to run out of stuff soon.

RainbowSprinkles said...

Oh, wow, so good!

Oh snap, the katakana is all accurate even.

catsuhako said...

Thanks again Seth for posting my video.

And thanks ED for watching it!

Big T said...

SOMEPONY for the love of CELESTIA make a Nujabes pony! R.I.P. Jun, your beat still laments Equestria.

colt classic said...

i used to love samurai champloo, and that was just pure amazing.

Anonymous said...

The video is very good and accurate to the original.

But Seth's comment is rude to a lot of other pony video makers. I know a few that put a lot of hard work into their videos, and he's trying to make it sound like they don't do anything great at all.

Razyn said...

Nujabes? Samurai Champloo? Ponies?

You see this, Hasbro? It's my money. Take all of it, and make this happen. For realsies.

Also, Dash replacing Mugen was cool; Scootaloo replacing Mugen's chicken was hilarious.

DJLowrider said...

This needs to be the S2 Opening sequence. Make it so.

Seriously, this was freakin' awesome. I've seen Samurai Champloo and loved its OP. This is a fantastic use of it for MLP:FiM and easily one of the best PMVs I have seen yet.

atzel said...

Nice editing, too bad the song is just awful

Please to not feed the troll.

TheTreatment said...

@atzel Well unfortunately - or fortunately (according to our tastes of course) - it wouldn't be a Samurai Champloo pony parody without the song XD

Necromas said...

Awesome video, even though I think Rarity would make a better Jin.

Oh, and the whole Samurai Champloo series is available on Funimations youtube page (dubbed, but very well dubbed) if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-qhxMrxDz4

But feeding trolls is FUN!

Oh,oh! Let's throw him a party with looooooooooots of cupcakes :D

Pinkiederp said...

This is the Queen of all PMVs thus far.
I got goosebumps and I orgasm from the sexy awesome that is this video.

Namefag Anon said...

i hate rap and have no idea what the PMV was referencing, but great effort

...why no Pinkie, Rarity or Twilight though?

showmetheblueprints said...

@Namefag Anon

The intro/theme was probably too short to feature the Mane 6 while staying faithful to the original.

Great PMV! Applejack will always seem like a samurai to me after watching the Samurai Applejack PMV. :P

7heSama said...

Just because there was some more complex video editing going on, doesn't mean it's good. I don't really like it. :/

Anonymous said...

It's an amazing work of course, but I don't think it should be some kind of standard PMVs are held up to...

Anonymous said...

Nice use of DUMB FABRIC!
(HuffytheMagicDragon)

SomeGuy said...

That was pretty clever.

Vanishing said...

I've only watched two anime series in my entire life, Samurai Champloo is one of them. Outstanding editing, this holds up to the original incredibly well.

It's good to see more PMV's that aren't just mishmashing music and clips we've heard/seen a thousand times before, this is far more complex.

My complements to the creator!

Tosxychor said...

Wow, that was beautiful. It would probably have been more so if I actually knew Samurai Champloo, but this vid alone game me a good idea of it XD
Many congrats.

Commodore Z said...

Now THIS is how you make an exquisite PMV. Most excellent, indeed!

Dave said...

That was fantastically editted together.

Now let's see what the creator can do with the other Samurai Champloo rap:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtP2tPUw3AU&feature=related

I never get tired of this rap in that anime, lol

Grayscale said...

This is the best thing I've ever watched, besides FiM of course.

Now I'm off to start watching Samurai Champloo again.

-L said...

I think you just won my affection, how little of an award it may be.

BronyMike said...

"PMVs that actually do stuff"
You cut me deep, Seth. You cut me real fucking deep.

Honestly, the main difference is that doing this involves a fuckton of masking and scene placement. I mean NO disparagement to the creator, this is fantastically done, but I hate to see disrespect to the people who put good time and effort into matching clips to the show. It can easily take more time finding clips to match a couple lines of a song than it takes to mask around a single frame and get that to pan around the screen for the same amount of time.

Again, though, that's not necessarily what's done in this one, a hell of a lot of work was put into the video clips being masked and making all the titles and whatnot match. Very good job.

Nice to insult the bronies that don't have the money to use high quality programs like Vegas Pro to make things like this Seth. Just because they can't do like what this person did for this vid, doesn't mean the other people don't give effort and dedication to the PMVs we make with things as simple as Windows Movie Maker or something like that. You're a fucking jerk!

AtomicBrony said...

I like the part where Applejack.

Tom Brony said...

Awesome. Very well made.

DJ Kat said...

^You guys are takin' this way too personally.

Tom Brony said...

Awesome. Very well made.

Anonymous said...

Absolutely ****ing amazing. I never even saw Samurai Champloo, but this is brilliant.

To the bronies *****ing about Seth's comment, stop being jealous and get creative. Sure, this took some fancy stuff to make, but that Wu Tang song that was posted a few weeks ago was pretty simple and yet was almost flawless. All you need is good lip-syncing and good execution and you're golden.

Recamen said...

First Black Lagoon, now Samurai Champloo.

As a brony who enjoyed the former and absolutely adored the latter (it's still my all-time favorite anime!), I approve.
