From the Adult Swim boards:

"Starting this Summer, Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent will premiere on Adult Swim's Saturday Action block.

A unique blend of samurai action and Hip-Hop style, Samurai Champloo chronicles the journey of a young girl named Fuu as she wrangles two wandering samurai into joining her on her search for a samurai that smells like sunflowers. Mugen is a crass Okinawan swordsman who fights with his own haphazard style, a sharp contrast to the stoic Jin, who is the epitome of aloof samurai poise. The latest project from Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop and Animatrix fame, Samurai Champloo also features the talents of character designer and animation director Kazuto Nakazawa, who directed the animated portion of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill and Mahiro Maeda, a collaborator on Animatrix and Last Exile. Driven by a powerful musical score with contributions from both American and Japanese hip-hop artists, including Tsutchie, fat jon, Nujabes and FORCE OF NATURE, Samurai Champloo redefines anachronism and breathes new life into the action genre."

Hee! I knew it!

Huh. I just saw the Samurai Champloo collection in Wal-mart (of all places!) yesterday and was intrigued by the back cover. I shall have to investigate further... :^)

SC kicks much ass. If you watch the first couple and want more, I am happy to send out fansubs, though of course that makes you honor-bound to buy the series. ^_~
