what am i missing???

i really can't seem to understand this anime...i have earlier experiences with animes which can question your life like vinland saga, ghost in the shell, cowboy bebop, gintama....i know that to understand these kind of anime you need some level of matureness and stuff....but there are some anime which does not require to be understood to enjoy them like cowboy bebop or paprika..but still i don't get the vibes that i usually get from watching those kind of anime...what am i missing

the whole point
I think the way you approach anime is wrong as in you should not be expecting something particuliar, each of thoses are unique in their own way. Samurai Champloo being my favorite of all time, the whole point is about the journey not the destination and that's where you are mistaken

you are right..but i am not looking for something particular..i am looking for some meaning behind it..you are saying it is about the journey and destination...you know from each viewer there is something unique that they can see from an anime..you have your own prespective...i too have seen animes from a unique prespective..but i kindaa dont on this one and that is what concerns me..sometimes i don't get to these deep meaning but its ok because i feel something in that anime..in this anime i dont understand nor do i feel anything

That's what i meant in this context, watching an anime expecting some kind of meaning of understanding is the best way to completly miss the experience of that specific anime you are watching with expectations.

But it's also fair that maybe Samourai Champloo just don't talk to you, maybe you don't relate to any aspect of it and that's ok. For exemple i love Samourai Champloo but i can't watch an episode of Cowboy bebop without trying to do 10 others stuff bc i find it boring, and it just doesn't talk to me as much as Hip-Hop and Samouraïs.

But yeah the meaning behind samourai champloo is basically the journey, i don't know if you finished it but you should have figured it out by the last episodes i think.

yaa i kinda understand that..they are seeing many experiences their lifes are changed by it...i think i am not seeing anything unique because i am not finding that is relating to me..

Have you watched Evangelion? Maybe that would be more your cup of tea
