Guest Backson Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Did others watch and enjoy this television program? i was a big fan. i remember waiting ages for it to come to a conclusion, or imply there was going to be one. But it just sort of trickled out. anyway, apparently JJ Abrams is going to make a Samurai Jack film. And i see very little reason why that wouldn't be awesome (if it ever happens).

TwiddleBot Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Only seen a bit of it, but I saw season 1 of the clone wars animation and it was pretty good if i recall. george lucas could have learned a thing or two from this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lopez Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 it was a cool show when it came out because there wasn't much other cool stuff but now it has been entirely co-opted by annoying people and we have a glut of cool animation so the "new season" will be fan-service and not cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goiter Sanchez Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I really wanted to love Samurai Jack during its original air but I think I'd seen too many Japanese animations which did the whole Shogun/Spaghetti Western thing far better. The black border art style is unique and eye catching, but the character animations feel like a kind of ironic jab at John Kricfalusi's style without the brilliant humour. Perhaps I'm missing the big picture but SJ just seemed to take itself to seriously for what it is.The above redux trailer looks kinda cool though... Perhaps I will check it out.

Salvatorin Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I was just about to post that samurai jack didn't take itself very seriously. There was episode about a farting dragon. The art style of genndy tartakovsky had been well established by dexter's lab. I can see the connection with kricfalusi but as far as I can sense, the ironic revival of 50's / 60's graphic design had been a big trend in comics and cartoons for a lot of artists in the 90's. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still liked it during its initial run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQQ Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 i love Samurai Jack. it has a vibe that i've never seen in a tv show before. i don't really know how to explain it but i usually describe it as 'ambient'. no one seems to know what i mean by that though. it always drove me nuts how the story never finished so i'm so glad it'll finally get a resolution.

olo Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Latest episode was good minus the Aku opening sequence. Very strange comical opening that definitely didn't fit the grim tone of the rest of the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Ep. 3 - Well, that escalated quickly. Samurai Jack ain't fucking around. Lovely execution of color & design in this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thoroughly enjoyed the final season. The finale wrapped everything up in a bittersweet bow. also, thanks to Genndy for giving me a boner for Ashi. What a smokeshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
