Ironically, watched this now on the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto seeing the sights. Came for hobbyist stuff (figures, cards, ...), food, adult content. I am the same, big weeb guy in grade school, I first watched samurai champloo when it aired on adult swim in middle/highschool (I'm same age as josh). Having watched Japanese style samurai stuff like rurouni kenshin, the aesthetics of champloo combining edo times with american/urban elements was different and interesting back then. That combined w a hip hop ost that way proceeds the idea of lofi shot the series up for me in cool factor. Having been to Japan a couple times, I feel this conformity or uniformity here. Everyone here dresses trendy, I rarely see any indication that someone loves anime. As I got older, I started to think the anime aesthetic was kinda tacky and nerdy, but I'm slowly leaning into it cause it's what sets us apart, and we like what we like.

The detective was funny, too!~ The voice acting/direction was kinda weird tho, but I am kinda getting used to it. - Josh talking about cave-man 69in' was hilarious. - Ep. 6 "I no gimme~" Another funny episode, but I appreciated that the good Dutch guy actually gave Fu a lead on the main plot.
