Do japs like Jack? Or is it that they never heard of him?

>>89927105
We really needed another samurai jack thread, thank you.

>>89927121
Boy are you going to be a sad sack in the coming months if you're starting this early. Good luck.

>>89927105
Probably have no clue the character exists unless they are raging westaboos.

>>89927121
I'll take them over yet another Steven Universe, Loud House insect-bait, thicc, cartoon waifu-bait, weeb VS. western, DCEU defense, Marvel gangbang, or ironic meme show thread.

>>89927273
True, that shit is far, far worse.

>>89927121
We get nothing but "muh maymays," company wars, "where do I start," furfaggot, and waifufaggot threads. Having people on board with something based like Samurai Jack, with much of it actual discussion, is refreshing.

Oh no, it's starting already.

It's only a matter of time till someone unironically says "Samurai Jack is the new MLP" or something along those lines.

Who did the japanese dub here?

>only 13 results on pixiv

i guess not

i know a dub of powerpuff girls aired in japan that was apparently popular enough to justify PPGZ, but idk if any of cartoon network's other shows from that era ever caught on like it did

Samurai Jack is to Japan what Kung Fu Panda is to China. It's not super popular because they have a thousand stories about silent, badass, honourable samurai wandering around defeating evil. In a culture built around samurai stories Samurai Jack brings nothing to the table they haven't seen before; unless you're an animation nerd/storytelling nerd in which case seeing your culture through the lens of another could be interesting, but most people aren't.

Dude, Kung Fu Panda is huge in China. He's basically their Micky mouse in terms of popularity.

No, that's Iron man.

You're saying that ironically. Doesn't count.

>Not Shrek

>>89932199
No, I wasn't joking.
RDJ is like a national hero in China for some reason and has a whole section of their Disney land dedicated to Ironman.

>>89930103
But China cofunded Kung Fu Panda 3

You have to go back.

This makes me think-

Why don't we have a hundred western shows with cowboys and shit?

I guess our equivalent is inner city stories or something.

>>89928948
Heihachi's VA.
Also Jack was voiced by the guy who voiced Gyro in JoJo and Zamasu in DBZ.

Baka Samurai

>>89931645
No that's Jojo

I thought Steven Universe already took up that mantle, since a lot of rockfags are former bronies myself included

>>89927121
Do you want more Friday party threads instead?

You're welcome

Burgers over-saturate every fucking genre they ever take interest in until nobody can stand to watch it anymore.

We did have a shit ton of westerns. But then they died out from the mainstream once the 50's were no longer relevant.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

>>89927105
The Japanese version of Toonami had it.

(You)

>>89927105
The Japanese liked Jack just as much as they liked PPG (Not that new crap) when it was out. Which was a lot.

>>89931645
Same shitty flash animation art style, so yeah.
