[16] Canada's YTV began
airing it on March 3, 2006. [17] In the United Kingdom, the anime was broadcast by Rapture TV and AnimeCentral. [18][19] Animax Asia broadcast the series in the Philippines, India, and South Asia. [20][21][22]
Funimation Entertainment released the series as DVD volumes between February 8, 2005, to September 12, 2006. [23][24] Funimation later re-released the series into two DVD volumes in 2009 and again in 2010. [25] In the United Kingdom, MVM Films distributed the first eight volumes of the series; however, Funimation gave the rights over to Revelation Films. [26][27] Anime Limited now holds the rights in the UK, and they have released the series in both an ultimate and regular collector's edition Blu-Ray. There were plans for a UK DVD release, but these have been put on-hold as of June 2017. In Australia and New Zealand, Madman Entertainment originally released the series on 13 volumes, before re-releasing the series in two DVD volume collections,[28] and later on Blu-ray in a boxset. [29] A series of five original video animations (OVAs) were also released. Most of these are side stories and do not expand on the plot.
[17] Characters[edit] The series follows the exploits of the three leads−Fuu,
Mugen, and Jin−when they are drawn together by circumstance and end up traveling together to find the sunflower samurai. [18][10] The main cast was
created by Watanabe,[18] who wanted a cast of heroes who were silly, immature, and dangerous, with "a touch of insanity". [5] He described Mugen and Jin as unconventional people not bound by the rules of the period. [19] The characters were designed by Kazuto Nakazawa, who had worked as both an artist and director on multiple projects including Ashita no Nadja and the anime segments of Kill Bill: Volume 1. [20] The early character drafts were more to Nakazawa's tastes than the wishes of the production team, resulting in numerous redrafts based on requests. [21] The voice recording included sessions with all three leads together, which caused occasional tensions due to their different work backgrounds.
