Quote:Don't miss this first episode of a new 13-part anime series, colourfully described as hip-hop samurai action "stir fried in cool". It's fast, with lots of fighting and whirling, a very cool soundtrack and a few wincing moments of finger-breaking, all with tongue firmly in cheek.
The storyline (although who needs one with all that going on?) revolves around three characters who set off on a quest. Juu, the ditzy waitress, wants to find the samurai who smells of sunflowers. For some reason the warrior Jin and the arrogant fighter Mugen agree to defer killing each other to carry out the quest. Why is never explained. In the end you can only take the advice at the start of the show: "This work of fiction. Is not accurate historical portrayal. Like we care. Now shut up and enjoy the show."
Hai!

So it seems like SBS is only gonna air half of the series, most likely to test the water of the popularity of this series. This makes me wonder though, did they also only air half or a portion of Ghost In The Shell: SAC?
