I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet in this thread since I didn't read all gazillion pages, but Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo were produced by the same guy.

If you liked, loved or obsessively adore Bebop, you will love Champloo even more. You will notice some similarities in character traits and art work. I feel that Champloo is better written and shows the director/producer has really progressed in his story telling since it is his latest work.
