Ello

im looking for a serie containg samurai's/ninjas

i liked Shura no Toki, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Naruto and even though its not a samurai serie, Shaman King.

im not so much into the more futuristic or the ones played out in our time, like champloo

Humor is just a plus

someone have some tips?

Well, you named most of the ones I know. Except for Rurouni Kenshin, which I like and you probably have heard of. The only other samurai ones I can name off the top of my head is Lone Wolf and Cub and Vegabond. If I can remember anymore, I'll let you know.

Wait, I forgot there is no anime for Vegabond or Lone Wolf and Cub. Oh well, the manga looks good though.

Personally, I'd recommend Peacemaker, that's a decent one

Let's see.. there's:

Peace Maker Kurogane

Samurai 7, although it has been licensed but not yet released.

Real Bout High School

Jubei-chan

Wrath of the Ninja

That's about all I can think of right now, but I don't have time to write descriptions at the moment, so you will have to rely on the encyclopedia entries or comments of other for now.

The manga doesn't look good, it's Fcuking awesome.

On the anime side, the only 2 I probably will end up buying is:
Samurai 7 (this is futuristic with mecha so you probably wouldn't like it)
&
Otogizoushi (this is probably more of your taste, even though u can stand)

There better be a really good chipboard artbox for these 2 series.

Is Jubei-chan really concidered a Samurai series?

In the strictest sense... no. It's more of a parody of Samurai and rather comedic, but it's still a good series.

Well I'll definitely recommend Rurouni Kenshin. He IS NOT A SAMURAI, but a swordsman, nonetheless. I would also recommend that if you do decide to check it out, only watch the first 62 episodes of the series.

Afterwards, watch the Tsuioku-hen OAV. And while it is techinically a prequel to the TV series, it's actually supposed to occur as a flashback in the manga, and will make much more sense after seeing the end of the Kyoto arc. Trust me, you'll love the OAV after watching it in succession.
