Samurai Jack anyone?
 
Are there any Samurai Jack fans out there? My favorite character is Aku. Gotta love Mako.

I was like 10 when this was on and I didn't watch it regularly, but I remember what I did see being awesome! Tartakovsky is a great man.

Amazing show, I wish I followed it more when it was on. That way I could have scored the sweet action figures.

Sage Ninja 01-21-2009 02:36 PM

loved this series. My favorite side characters was the Scots Man (did this guy ever named in the series) and his shrew of a wife.

And Aku kicked so many level of ass. I liked how he could be menacing yet amusing at the same time. You gotta love the Aku laugh.

Gigantic Samurai Jack fan. That show getting canned was like losing a family member to me.

And my favourite character, aside from Jack, was probably the jive-talking samurai who challenged Jack to a duel. The Scotsman was great, too. And that was officially his "name" as all the episodes were titled as such.

I own all 4 seasons of Samurai Jack. Great Show. Better than Dexter's Lab.

Whoa Whoa WHOA.




I agree.

I loved Samuri Jack! I only wish I had actually watched it more than I had. My favorite was the Scotsman as well.

I hate when they cancel good toons....

Those are two totally different types of shows, how can you even make a comparison?

Genndy Tartakovsky or whatever his name is made both.

I see. Well, if you're comparing that person's work, then alright.

IamtheKnight 01-21-2009 06:44 PM

I was comparing his work. My favorite shows of his are Samurai Jack and Clone Wars.

Samurai Jack was refreshingly original and unique with a nice mix of badass and funny.
It was one of the better shows to watch then, and it would still be one of the best shows today.
Would be nice if they brought it back.

Imagine if the next turtles toon was done by him. I think that it would be awesome!

It's one of the few cartoons from my childhood that holds up today...mature and yet accessible to younger audiences...in a way.

BTW, does he ever go home?! I didn't get to see too many episodes due to my mom's on again, off again way of having cable in our house.

IamtheKnight 01-24-2009 04:02 PM

He never went home which sucks.

This is true, but there's a Feature Film in the works. However, that bit is dated at this point, so I'm not sure if/when it will happen, but at least Tartakovsky wants to finish the story.

Btw, I love the show. It's one of the few DVD collections I've completed (though that may be due to buying them in almost one go :P)

I love Samurai Jack. Some friends and I recently marathoned season 4 and I think The Tale of X-49 may be my favorite episode. All the throw backs to Bladerunner and Equilibrium make me happy.

Who knows?
