If you'd like to take it in a more hilarious direction,

Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran

Among other things, it has the best fight scenes evar!

samurai 7 and samurai Champloo should be coming to dvd soon (or are already out.)

Champloo comes out on Friday, I think.
Try Peacemaker Kurogane, too (just Peacemaker on the DVDs). That looked pretty entertaining.

there are alot of ninja movies out there too.
some that come to mind are....
Ninja Scroll: The Movie (there is also a ninja scroll series)
Ninja Ressurectoin
Wrath of the Ninja
and a old movie is Cuse of the Undead: Yoma
those are only a few that came to mind, there are probably alot more.

Oh wow, no one should ever watch Ninja Ressurection under any circumstances. I feel that's the worst anime ever made by far. Good ninja/samurai animes: Ninja Scroll TV (ok), Samurai Champloo (ok), Samurai 7 (pretty good), Ninja Scroll movie (one of the best ever). Those are some of the better ninja/samurai anime that I've seen.

I have to second that Peacemaker. It's a good series with a nice balance of comedy and drama. It's a coming of age story but it is good. There are some good memorable moments in there as well.

Champloo is already out (came out yesterday). And yes, both of those are quite good.

Samurai Deeper Kyo is pretty good, but not if you're looking for well animated fight scenes. Most of the fight scenes are one-hit kills, until later on when the enemies start getting tougher.
