Does anyone else feel like it's not really Samurai Jack

I think it's just you, anon.
Sorry

Instead of derailing it and claiming
>bait
and adding to another fucking thread of endless shitposting, instead I'll ask

What did you expect out of it? It's been pretty goddamn satisfactory to me. Maybe it's a little lame that the sisters got pulverized in a single episode, but it IS Samurai Jack and that's kind of it's thing.

>>91155714

>>91155774
>Maybe it's a little lame that the sisters got pulverized in a single episode

I got less upset about this when my friend pointed out that the Daughters were explicitly trained not to help one another when one of them is in danger. Like, they obviously learned out to synchronize their attacks, but other than that they had a "Every man for himself" mentality drilled into them that Jack was obviously able to exploit.

To be honest I love it. IT's big and dramatic and has a strong sense of narrative focus now, and despite how easy it could take that idea and drift into "and nothing happens this episode" like SU does far too often, the story has moved forward pretty consistently so far.

If I had a complaint to give it's that the editing can be...weird. This was most noticeable in the first episode, it's gotten alot better since.

It's just a side project for Genndy before he moves on to another shitty movie for Sony. That and low budget make it somewhat unpleasant.

Think about it - they didn't even bother to fix continuity errors which are easy to spot as fuck. That says something.

>>91155959
>hey didn't even bother to fix continuity errors which are easy to spot as fuck. That says something.

That they weren't going to let a few minor continuity slips from a decade ago get in the way of the narrative they created to give the show a proper send-off?

I honestly don't give a shit of Jack "ACTUALLY!!!!" killed a human or two already in the original series; in general, it's obvious that taking a life is something Jack generally tried to avoid and was uncomfortable with, and the emotional arc covered in the first half of Episode 3 where he comes to term with the fact that killing in self-defense is an act he has to come to peace with was totally worth a minor continuity error.

>>91155959
but Genndy reached out to Cartoon Network to do this season.

>>91156064
By continuity errors I meant issues like Jack having his boots in one shot and not having them in another etc.

>>91155959
I'll take a low-budget side project over nothing at all.

Only 3 episodes in and it's become the only cartoon that I'm genuinely hyped and looking forward to within the last 7 or so years.

>>91156108
>I'll take a low-budget side project over nothing at all.

Well, look at new Berserk anime and say that again. You either do it well or don't do it at all.

>>91155714
I don't give a damn about Jack since it's gonna be 10 episodes long

>but it's the finale!
that's quite the challenge huh? finish the story of a cartoon that's been dead for years in just 10 episodes, no pressure.
it's obviously not going to please everybody and it's more than likely to be dissapointing.

but what I think is the worst offender is the addition of new characters,namely the aku girls, instead of revisiting past storylines and filling plotholes like the scientist that escaped in a rocket,or the momotaro babby they giv us these throwaway characters whose whole purpose is to die, whoever thought the akugirls weren't going to job is delusional

>>91155714

That was the old aku Anon, this is the new aku, and he doesn't really care about groundbreaking or fancy new material nobody's ever tried before. If you want to be a revolutionary, go ahead.

>>91155714
It feels weird saying this unironically but stop being an entitled cunt.

>>91155714
Yeah, it feels pretty cheap so far. Jack not having his sword? What's the point? I can already tell it's going to appear in the very end in a very unsatisfying manner because it's so underused.

It's not a good conclusion.

>>91156418
Except old Samurai Jack was far more interesting than this new shit

>>91156219
The Berserk anime is just VERY badly done

>>91156475
You are more than welcome to stop watching it and fuck off, then

>>91156520
Thanks for your permission, I'll spare myself massive disappointment that will eventually emerge when you realize it was all just a rushed piece of shit.

Genndy should kill himself for making this abomination.

>>91156475
No it wasn't, you were younger then. Go rewatch the old episodes and then watch the new ones again. The new episodes carry the same spirit of the old ones, with the added age.

Genndy wanted to turn samurai jack into a movie but couldn't fit everything he wanted to do into 90 minutes. So we get a 5hour movie/short season.

**most samurai jack seasons have 13 episodes**
**this one is 10**
I think you're suffering from depression Anon, and are having difficulty finding joy in new things.

>>91155900
This.

>>91156621

>>91156625
Hey, just a tip but maybe everything these days is just bad and you are so used to it that you stopped seing that. Really, think about it. I still like stuff but when I feel like something's wrong, I FEEL IT.

>>91155959
>It's just a side project for Genndy before he moves on to another shitty movie for Sony

Actually that's not true. His last project with Sony was a hotel Transylvania sequel and once that ended he didn't really know what he wanted to do next. He did a few cons and realized people were asking about an ending for Samurai Jack so he reached out to Mike Lazzo to see if anyone was interested.

Depending on the show's reception, he might have more cartoon kino in the works

The issue with you motherfuckers is that you make it look better than it really is, because you waited so long that you can't pass a thought that this may be bad.

Stop being hyped like retards and start thinking straight. It's just another cartoon on low budget, nothing remarkable about it.

Can you explain what about Samurai Jack isn't as superb as we claim?

Aside from animation errors and a couple of things in combat the show is literally perfect so far.

>>91156831
I mean there's like a dozen posts in here about it being a low budget hack job using the exact same style of phrasing that until now never actually answered anyone in the thread.

>>91156105
oh, well that's just inexcusable
i sure hope someone got fired for that blunder!

>>91156831
>too much music, the plot feels weak so far (its another someone wants to kill jack episode)

This is literally a subjetive complaint, which is also hard to believe considering the too much music complaint comes from the fact that the original indeed didn't have that much music but saying the plot is weak is stupid because it's literally the same type of story you would get from the original.

Did you even liked Samurai Jack to begin with? Ask yourself that for a second.

>>91156105
Are you talking about the scene where we see him lose his boots but then you see the boot tracks in the temple?

this sounds dumb but jack actually made me excited for something again

it's like when i was a kid and i would always get excited when a new episode of spongebob or something would come up every week, only now i'm an adult

They were fake anon, as proved like a minute later when after the daughter follows them he pops out of the ceiling without his boots still.

>>91156890
Holy shit, this, I also felt the same with JoJo.

>People complaining about the new SJ season
Well, it was bound to happen eventually, I'm guessing we'll have threads where people are unsatisfied with how they end things

>>91156956
read the manga

I don't like his PTSD friend, it feels like it's done very poorly. And was there a deeper meaning to the white wolf in episode 3? It felt like a deus ex to save his ass for no reason

>>91156859
It's the same guy just shitting on something.

>>91156966
I'm already reading steel ball run and it's amazing, this fucking background art, Araki can't be human.

>>91156957

The only complaints so far that I've seen levied that aren't pure trolling for (You)'s is the minor animation errors. (Bear-no beard, boots-no boots, club-no club)

These things add up to literally than three seconds of screen time, and yet it's the only thing people can say in an over an hour of animation is bad about the show. 3. Seconds.

>>91156981

That wolf was in the second episode, and he was just there. Samurai Jack always had shit like this.

>>91157008
When little errors stack up, they get big enough to ruin the show, you know. 3 episodes and there were more errors than in the entire 4 seasons of old Samurai Jack.

You fags are working fast with this one. Is this the fastest /co/ started to turn on something?

>>91157008
I hate to be that guy but I do have another complaint, 2 actually.

First is the Wolf, at first I thought it was a metaphor but in episode 3 he literally shows up and saves Jack, for no reason.

And the second one it's when Jack is fighting the daughters in the snow, Jack swings the bat at them and then stops to take a breather, I seriously do not understand why the FUCK did they not attack him there.

Minor, but saying that aside animation SJ has been flawless is wrong.

>>91157042
I dont like it since episode 1 and so far it's getting worse.

>>91157002
Yes that's what I was saying

>>91157076
They didn't attack him because he was on guard.

>>91157083
You never liked SJ in the first place.

>>91157110
I like the old one. Was simpler yet better.

>>91157103
No he wasn't.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-K4xyRDt6o

2:10, please explain me why they didn't kill him right there.

>>91157139
I'm telling you! Jack had no openings.

>>91156831
>the plot feels weak so far (its another someone wants to kill jack episode)
LONG AGO IN A DISTANT LAND was all the plot there ever was. The Daughters appearing in 3 episodes in a row is the most continuity since Scotsman saves Jack.
You're basically complaining it's too different while complaining it's too same.

>>91156669
Or, maybe, you are a asshole that never learned enough about art to criticize it.

Glad you are missing out. Some people don't deserve to be happy. You are one of them. Enjoy that at least.

>>91157103
Not to mention he had already kill 3 of them becouse they were careless

>>91157164
Anon, are you baiting?

>>91157133
Explain how the episode 1 fights are worse than the standard fight scenes in the old episodes.

>>91157139
They themselves might have been out of stamina just like him.

>>91157171
I've seen enough fucking episodes of Samurai Jack to realize how he fights.

>>91157187
Then why aren't they breathing or something? They are just standing there.

>>91157179
He never said anything about the fight scenes.

>>91157139
Why didn't Aku kill Jack the few times he was able to?

>>91155714
What would be a Samurai Jack deserving of your refined tastes, OP?

>>91157224
That is a problem Samurai Jack has, correct.

I never claimed the original to be perfect, either. Jack learns to Jump Good being the prime example of it.

>>91157038
It's animation for television. Errors are basically inevitable because of how cheap the budget is. Even movies, animated or otherwise, make mistakes like this for time to time.

Is it weird that Jack gets his boots back for a brief shot, or there are 8 figures from an overhead shot during the tomb scene? Sure, but it doesn't bother me so much that I drop the show.

>>91157203
That's 70% of the appeal for Samurai Jack. It's an action cartoon.

>>91157224
Aku was never as serious as the daughters were portrayed to be

>>91157076
The wolf doesn't save him, Jack saves himself. It just shows up and hangs out with him. It could also be seen more as a metaphor for Jack's inner survival instinct than a literal wolf.

I'm ignoring the OP cause what the hell do you mean deserve? After contributing nothing, a show you like was resurrected and you feel shortchanged? I'll be sure to let the Cartoon Gods know you're displeased next time I pass through whatever fantasy land you live in where anyone deserves anything.

sorry, rant over
N.E.Waze, I never watched Samurai Jack as a kid. It seemed lame, and that's as much reason to avoid it as I needed back then.

Is it worth watching as an adult?
To give an example of my tastes, Dune and The Dark Tower are my favorite books, Sandman, Lucifer, and Watchmen my favorite comic books, Bojark Horserman and Avatar are my favorite cartoons (that I can think of atm).

Btw I'd appreciate any other recommendations too. Currently reading the Invisibles but it's sort of meandering and unfocused so far.

>>91157281
Not really, the wolf feeds Jack, protects him from the cold and helps his wound to heal, nor metaphors or actual wolves would do that.

>>91156669
>maybe everything these days is just bad
How can someone unironically say "back in MY DAY..." and still expect to be taken seriously?

>>91157275
He was literally delivering a killing blow in the graveyard episode. For some unknown reason, he loosed his hold on Jack when the sword failed.

>>91157320
Shock obviously.

>>91155714
I kinda feel you, OP.
The tone is different from previous seasons, It feels like its trying to be a 'big boys' cartoon, but its like something is missing from the samurai that was flung into the future and tries to go back to the past.
Jack changed, and Im not sure if I like this change or not.
Ill have to watch more episodes as they come out and see, I guess.

>>91157243
If you nitpick every instance where plot armour is too far fetched, you'll never enjoy an action movie or show again.

>>91157303
Jack was the one who stopped himself from actually bleeding, though. The wolf just made him a bit more comfortable

>>91155714
>nothing groundbreaking
very true. i wish there were more experimental cartoons pushing the boundaries of animation and writing, unfortunately TV isn't a place for that. It takes a lot of money and time to make a cartoon so its more about execution and doing what people know already works.
what made samurai jack originally so captivating was its visual direction, sense of atmosphere and the action. it came out at a time when cartoons like billy & mandy, Duck Dogers, EEnE, were the norm. the only network cartoons getting pushed were comedy where slapstick humor was the omnipresent force behind every show on cartoon network, so a show centered around action, art, and a little bit of drama was really refreshing.
personally, I think it still is. I still get the sense that samurai jack is one of a kind and stands apart from its contemporaries entirely. the only thing that's changed is that art and visual aspects take a much more central role in all cartoons we're seeing today

but at the same time co is getting meme bombed pretty hard by SJ which is killing the vibe

>>91157356
Yeah, I agree. It doesn't feel the same, I'd rather watch more old Jack instead of this derailed old man.

>>91157224
>>91157243
C'mon guys, are you stupid?

The reason why Aku never killed Jack when he had the perfect opportunity is the same reason why the Joker never kills Batman. It's not enough to just kill your rival, they want to completely destroy them before they kill them. In Aku's case he wants to assert complete dominance over Jack before he killed him.

Well, until Jack wizened up and Aku realized he can't just do that shit. Then Aku actually got scared and went to hide, willing to wait out Jack dying naturally.

>>91157363
I usually don't enjoy action shows, you are correct in that one. Unless it's anime and usually just because it's so over the top that it's obvious you shouldn't take it seriously.

If something tries to be serious but doesn't really keep itself believable or consistent then it loses points, that's how action storytelling works.

>>91157375
What about those?

I have purposely not got on this hype train and I'm still loving this as much, if not more so than the older jacks. (or atleast some.)

You know they did a damn good thing right where in the first episode they establish shit's still fucked by aku, beetlebots, jack's too old for this shit, and a Scattapratpackscoobidydoobitybopbowopbeebop robot with that fucking amazing voice.

>>91157409
Your complaint was that it was trying to hard to be adult, but it still had scenes that are reminiscent from the earlier show. In fact, they take up half the episode.

>Shows comes back from the dead
>It's actually good, something that almost never happens
>/co/ still bitches

>>91157414
Watch more carefully then, because those are easy to spot. Episode 3 was by far the worst in that regard, the whole fight was ruined because of those errors.

Where can I watch the other seasons? I earn a catch up before watching new season

>not groundbreaking

boy it's samurai jack

it's a cartoon that started off as being "cool future stuff mixed with pretty boring fights and occasionally a robot to fight" but at the end of the episode almost every fight ended the same: Jack slashes, the screen goes black with a white line through it, and when it comes back the robot's in half with a few wires and sparks coming out. The new season I haven't seen that happen yet and I'd say it's all the better for it.

Errors are inevitable, but did you stop to consider that the show itself is so enjoyable that we're really on a manhunt for 'something' that'll prove to our cathartic, stoned-heart selves that SOMETHING is wrong with it, so that we start nitpicking at the tiniest errors where in other shows we would hardly even spend the effort typing about it?

>Does anyone else feel like it's not really Samurai Jack we deserve? It's okayish so far but nothing groundbreaking or worth remembering.

Nearly all animation for adults, or hell, just western animation in general, are people standing around talking. It was the same when Samurai Jack originally premiered. I consider a departure from that groundbreaking to some extent.

>>91157452

>>91157485
Not saying he's not enjoying the show, I'm just pointing out the common scenario we see in shows, and in real life occasionally.

From the top of my head
>when jack is surrounded by 3 girls and starts to run, one of them magically teleports to the other side
>when ashi fights with jack, he doesnt have a chain on his hand when he should have

Its so easy to spot that I rolled my eyes when i saw it and because of that I lost focus on that fight (and any interest at that point)

>>91157510
This would imply that I actively search for things that I don't like, when I just notice them.

It's not that I'm in the hunt for something bad, it's just that they just happen.

>>91157139

He wasn't tired. He sprints off literally seconds later. Believe it or not, approaching a crazy man with a bat because he seems a little winded after swinging it wildly is not a guaranteed way to kill a person.

Fight scene pacing being broken up by stare downs is a staple of the show and the action genre in general. This is a really silly thing to complain about.

>>91157514
You're fucking autistic, anon. I just rewatched it, those supposedly episode ruining mistakes are maybe two seconds. I had to pause it a few times to even see the second one.

>>91157606
The usual recomendations are

Jack and the Hounted House
Jack and The Scotsman
Jack and the Zombies
Tale of X9
Birth of Evil 1 & 2

And a fuck ton more, there were a lot of great episodes a lot of good episodes and only 2 or 3 considereted bad episodes, those are jack and the farting dragon (the title says it all) and some other that i forget the name

I see what we have as the best case scenario for a show that's brought back after 13 years. Usually relaunches end up terrible, and I honestly couldn't imagine Jack coming back after the death of Mako. Plus I was pretty sure Genndy had lost his touch after seeing Symbionic Titan.

I was completely ready to ignore this show if I thought the first episode was weak, but instead I've only been getting more into it with each episode. There's a variety of things I could nitpick about the show, but in broad strokes they got it right. The cinematic approach is there, the design is solid, and the action is tight.

Was this confirmed? It certainly doesn't seem as though it's lacking in budget.

that's not true at all
i love the original samurai jack but there are actually a ton of animation and continuity errors

this is very normal in western cartoons, if you need a character to check the time during a scene, you give him a watch for that scene, even if it makes no sense for the continuity
if it looks cool for jack to run in the rain with boots, you give him boots and it improves the scene
the shot with 8 sisters was just a mistake that they didnt notice or didnt have time to fix, so thats a reasonable complaint

>>91156219
Berserk's problem is the director not the budget. He did lots of single episodes of good shows but most of what he's done on his own is short form comedies like Teekyuu.

>tons of more errors than old show

I guess you never really paid attention of the old shows then, considering they still had animation continuity errors (that one time Da Sa-moo-rai fell into a puddle of mud, wiping it off from his glasses before the mud magically disappears without a trace for example). No, the show still had its problems as it had 13 years ago and they're much more willing to actually animate the action now rather than taking shortcuts all the time THEN end it with some random explosions here and there

>>91155714
Oh boy, here come the "nu-SJ is shit" shitposts.

Are you real?

>>91155714
I love it. It has the same spirit as the first four seasons, but now it has the ability to approach darker elements that feel organic when you realize Jack's been around for 50 years simply trying to survive.

Jack going full potential and unleashing on the Daughters was such an excellent way to give Jack a struggle without compromising his character. He's Jack, he's the best at what he does, and once he's clear on his decisions nothing can stop him.

The visuals, atmosphere, and action sequences have all been spot on. This and Beavis and Butthead are the only shows I can think of that revived and kept this much quality.

Other anon is right, though. Pretty much everything new sucks. Sadly, it looks like both sides of politics want to double down on the "free market" that caused this in the first place.

Is it wrong to enjoy something thats flawed, na it's not. Am I blind to any issue's that happen during the episode, no I'm not. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy scene's like jack in the tomb or the way ghost jack moves in the cave.
If I have a personal pick nit, its watching jack kill the daughters. They were brain washed kids on a diet of cult propaganda. They didn't understand anything of the outside world like the scene with the deer showed (It was short but huminized them a little to much for me to ignore). I understand jack's perspective thats it's their choices leading them to him and what he has to do. Yet, knowing about their past just makes me feel bad (like actually bad) for how they were killed over choices they technically didn't controll.

Where is everyone getting the impression that the new season is low budget? It looks way better than the older seasons overall.

When the action is a fast as it is in Jack it's hard not to make a few mistakes and you don't even notice them the first time you watch it.

Why do people like you breath the same air as me? It's kind of sickening how ignorant you are of how the free market works. There're systems in place for every man to succeed by their own merits; their own paths and ideals. Fervently do I belive that debt is the problem. Humans have grown addicted to it. When all it does is enslave you. You don't need a credit card. You don't need a car loan. Just take your money and make it work for you.

Stop being a whiny faggot who wants everyone to walk single file line into a work camp because your stupid ass does it for your lenders every day. That or you're an unemployed neet who has no money or motivation and thinks communism is going to give you that. Well you're wrong there. Communism makes noone want to work because nothing can be gained. Nothing is learned only the government is to gain. So take your marxist proletariat jerking off bullshit and make the market work for you.

If I tell you which country you'll just try to find some bullshit excuse, or tell me "it's not that bad". But let me assure you, here you'll find STEM majors working the very few service sector jobs still around, since there basically aren't any other jobs.

It's like people these days don't even know "relationship" ≠ romance. Same with "gay" is not automatically homosexual but could also simply mean happy.

In the "creator(s) come(s) back and royally fuck(s) up their own universe, causing even the original series' popularity to drop, and ensuring that nothing connected to the franchise ever becomes popular again" regard.

-Jack's beard missing
-Daughter's weapons changing positions and shape
-8 daughters in the tomb scene
There's probably more, but those are the ones I noticed. I don't pay attention to these until re-watching.

Honestly, the animation mistakes are just nitpicking.

>>91161897
True. It's not like I absolutely denied romance won't be a possible outcome, but I feel like it's way too early to judge. So far I will continue to enjoy the ride and we will see what will happen. It's not like complaining now will help change whatever ending they planned to have.

Note that pure capitalism without restrictions will turn into crony capitalism within time. Just look at the banna republics for what can happen if the government let's greedy companies turn into their own little communes who pay their workers pennies deliberately.

>I'm excited to see everyone collectively lose their shit when they inevitably kiss.
Jack's gonna die in the end, so I don't think the romance matters that much.
I do hope they keep their relationship, if they do make it romantic, as a relatively quiet one. Not much conversation, just two silent partners working together and sharing tender moments in which body language is enough to get them across.

>>91162364
It would be strange if it didn't go that way.

Jack is essentially a wandering hermit. Ashi was neglected as a child and knows nothing of the world around her. It wouldn't be believable for them to out of the blue be loving and romantic.

If there is a strong attraction between them, it won't be easy for either of them to express themselves.

>>91155714
>nothing groundbreaking
Have you watched western animation in the last five years? Shows like this are non-existent now. Even further back than that, there's almost no action cartoons that use the medium as anything other than a way to tell action and effect heavy stories at a lower budget than if they were live action. Genndy is showing us that he can push the medium to do things no other can. While he's done that before with original Jack and his other shows, he can push it even further now that he has less oversight.

>>91156105
