It has officially become an anime.
meh, I WANT THE ENDING ALREADY
>>
This is completely untrue.
Episode 1 DID dedicate half of its time to establishing the daughters of Aku, which was fine in my opinion to set up a new threat for Jack to face.

Episode 2 focuses almost completely on Jack and the psychological damage of his decades long quest for vengeance, the daughters of Aku appear only as antagonists and you literally can't even tell which is which because they are all wearing masks.

Episode 3 again focuses almost entirely on Jack recuperating from his battle with the daughters of Aku and struggling with his decision to kill them. There is a single scene that characterizes the daughters and it is very short. We get a brief view of Ashi's face at the end of the episode.

Future episodes will probably focus on Jack and Ashi's relationship, but this season has already given more characterization to Jack than the entirety of the previous seasons. People are just looking to complain, the new season has been amazing thus far.
>>
>>91162331
They haven't even established a fucking love interest in the episodes that were released.

3rd episode was entirely about Jack and how he perceives killing, it was so fucking personal we got a flashback that shows us he's familiar with death since childhood.

>Why does he need to search for it when his soul
He's a broken man who's basically failed his father, his people, and lost all the one thing left from his past that he needed in order to defeat Aku.

You don't think that'd leave some kind of mark on your mental state? Plus, he's in a land riddled with the scars of his past plus it's been nearly over half a lifetime for him and for all he knows he'll spend the rest of eternity in it.

Of fucking course they're going to focus on his mental state. You say you want them to focus on him more yet you say you don't want them to at the same time? Him finding his sword is so much less interesting than him developing as a character and finding his sword as RESULT of him coming to terms with who he is.

Contradicting yourself, plus the world doesn't just revolve around Jack. What made the original show so great was that it had interesting characters in this world that Jack interacted with. You saying you don't want them to focus on Ashi is like saying they shouldn't have focused on Jack's father in the Birth of Evil. It's fine to have multiple characters in a single story.

It all depends on how it is written.

The show quite honestly was never good, you look at any of the serious anime that out at the time and samurai jack looks awful.

>People are literally complaining about the "plot" of a guy who wanders around and fights robots being ruined

There really was no plot to ruin. All this season has to do is put closure on the reign of Aku. Nothing else was promised.

And how can you get mad about a "literally who" getting character development so she is no longer a "literally who?"

No, it has genuine flaws in the opinions of some but the whole "every show has a baiter /co/ntrarian" meme makes it look all like bait and everyone dismisses it as such when they don't like the opinion, rather than argue/say "that's wrong, fag" and leaving it at that.

No, I'm saying that this particular idea wasn't necessary, and I don't like these specific female characters because of how they're being used, among other issues.

I don't hate more depth, I don't hate all directional changes, and I don't hate all female characters, since I have to spell it out to you.

Hi contrarian, is this your first Genndy show? Are you going to lecture me on how Jack shouldn't have a human relationship with anyone or how you know better than he does, maybe lambaste the writer over the fact Jack hasn't recovered his sword yet?

It's un-fucking believable how people like you have PLUMBED THE DEPTHS OF SAMURAI JACK SEASON FIVES THREE EPISODES and come out the other side scholars of Genndy's stories, here to enlighten the masses how he's wrong and the flaws of his story.
>>
>>91172619
In other words, it's an episode revolving around showing Jack's effect on the world through the eyes of a third party? That sounds like exactly the kind of plot the original series would have done, although with some one-off character.

I meant it, like every fucking series ever, has flaws. Cry more if you assumed I meant the girl(s) and it hurt your feelings.

I never said what flaws I know about, care about, or even whine about. I said S O M E people have issues with it that are genuine, but they're just thrown into a pile with the rest because "they're the designated contrarian, every show has one".

Fuck off, Korra didn't have ANY development, negative or otherwise in that damn show. That was the whole fucking point of criticism. Every season she reset to the same cocky asshole that gets stomach punched to submission by cheesy fools who aren't half her strength, because she was too busy creating worse quips and fighting techniques than the panda cuddler and his terrible fire bending brother.

There wasn't even any romantic development towards her final pairing apart from one extremely platonic and mopey letter.

Bebin buzzwords lad.
The deer scene shows pretty well that her isolated upbringing made her a borderline retard when it comes to anything else than combat. Assuming she was the one who scared them away she's pretty insecure about her shortcomings.
And she's not even that great at combat either, considering that Jack whooped her ass along with her 6 sisters without much effort.

>None of the crap about Ashi or losing the sword would've aired in the original Samurai Jack. That's not what the series was about.
Yes, it was about main character with flat moralities (the Shaolin moncs episode is very evident of that) fighting obviously evil foes. But even back then, they started to realize that this couldn't last forever, that's why Season 4 introduced characters who were a bit more morally ambiguos (Da Sam Moo Rai, the Princess, X9). Season 5 making Jack's inner conflicts harder to resolve is natural progression.

>Jojo is better than Jack
Jojo animation is spaced, it barely moves most of the time while Jack is all about stylish and colorful animation with minimal plot.

If the argument was "the Jojo manga is better than Jack's comic book" I'd be inclined to agree because Jojo is about fun with weird ass super powers and the art is gorgeous and over the top most of the time.

>GitS
Why are you comparing an animated movie to a tv show?
>Berserk
Which one? The 2016 abomination is pure shit and the 90's one... Was pretty much hated and disliked by the Berserk fanbase with plenty of "read the manga instead" for years up until the movies came out, then it was considered good (funny thing: After 2016's debacle people are looking more fondly on the movies now.)

Either way, I've always enjoyed the Berserk animation (that soundtrack from Susumu Hirasawa is the best shit man) but it's a budget anime who is also sparsely animated. The tone and the audience for it is different from Jack's, so this comparison is baseless. Unless you are talking about the 3 episodes we got from Season 5 - So far all have been better animated than the 90's Berserk show, even if the plot is barely there.
>>
>>91187090
The fact that manga purists dislike something means jack shit. The average anime is so much better than the average cartoon it's hilarious to even compare them, so anime is obviously held to a much higher standard.

I'm sure the Guardian would just let him do that.
>>

I just explained why, bub. Aku always tracks Jack, and in fact, Jack knows Aku tracks him. don't be a fanboy
>>
>>91200005
>always
where's the proof of this ya shitposter
>>
>>91200021
Jack and the Monks, and basically the entire fucking show. he uses drones and a screen to track him, sends minions constantly after him, etc. again: don't be a fanboy
>>
>>91200054
* not Jack and the Monks, the one with the Xiaolin guys
>>
>>91200054
That does NOT mean he does this in every single episode (referring to the original series here only). Otherwise, he would probably be doing that stuff literally all the time, and that's clearly not the case.
>>
>>91200054
Doesn't mean he was tracking Jack 24/7, just most of the time. Obviously, Jack gave the slip, or Aku decided to leave him be to plot one of his more craftier schemes.

There's plenty of episodes where he didn't know what Jack was up, like the Scottsman saves Jack. Aku would not have just sat by as his fucking sworn enemy was brainwashed and left helpless and weaponless.
>>
>>91200088
I know he didn't, because the Guardian episode is proof. I'm saying that he usually should always track him, and apparently stopped doing that for no reason for the Guardian episode, even though Jack knows Aku always tracks him, which isn't good writing, especially since the Guardian prophecy is apparently being addressed this season.
>>
>>91200054
It is kind of odd how they have written a very clear way to block Aku's tracking, someone with a "strong chi" is capable of blocking him, but then they proceed to only ever use that once when there are multiple points in the show where Aku tracking Jack would provide a plothole somehow but they don't bring out the "strong chi" or similar excuse again.

All that said, another thread was thinking of why Aku doesn't just see that Jack lost his sword and came up with the explanation that Aku just stopped worrying that much about Jack some time before the sword was lost
>>91199133
>>91199364
>>91199610

Although if that is the case that still leaves us wondering why Aku wasn't constantly watching Jack in seasons 1-4.
>>
>>91200166
>Aku would not have just sat by as his fucking sworn enemy was brainwashed and left helpless and weaponless.
THANK YOU for providing proof.
>>
>>91200212
Aku probably stopped watching whenever he hired a powerful bounty hunter or figured Jack was in a situation he wouldn't survive, only to come back and find Jack had prevailed. He probably even grew a little bored because he more or less knew the results.

>>
>>91201081
>>91201100
4 seasons he never introduced a protagonist recurring female character, of course this was before SJW became mainstream.

Regardless of the fact they are even playing up the narrative of one of the daughters being
>SHE WAS GOOD ALL ALONG
>IT WAS ALL NURTURE

Which simply hasn't happened before as well, why waste so much screen time.
>>
>>91201159
Have you heard of the concept of bell curves, anon? Women who have trained their entire lives could in all likelihood kick the average guy's ass. Stop being an idiot.
>>91201180
THAT's the guy you want, you idiot.
>>
>>91201159
>Women are weak as fuck compared to men.
That literally depends on the kind of training and body build between them, idiot. Jack is fairly muscular, but no more than most extremely athletic Asian men. Not only that, the daughters were trained from an extremely young age in various forms of combat. With enough training, even women can stand on par with men. It's not like eggs versus a wall where the egg will always get smashed. And once more, writing female characters as strong does not make something SJW.
>>
>>91201159
>Women are weak as fuck compared to men. "Female characters that can fight"
It sure is a good thing then that Jack managed to massacre them all with ease.

That "counter" is stupid though. Jack is the MC we know from the very beginning, who has a MAGIC sword that is prophesied to destroy Aku. He comes from a royal lineage that is also implied to bestow special powers (e.g. that episode when he called upon his ancestors to destroy a robot). It's very much plausible that his physical abilities are somewhat beyond ordinary human range.

The Daughters, of course, have nothing like this.
>>
>>91202043
And yet in the case of this thread, it's clearly justified since it's just some retard baiter catching everyone with his inane nonsense.
>>
>>91202096
No it's not, nowhere in this thread was it clearly the same guy. Baiting or whatever the
"90%" guy is doing =/=samefagging.
>>
>>91202063
> It's very much plausible that his physical abilities are somewhat beyond ordinary human range.
See now you are reaching just to remain right.

I don't even see what your problem is, Jack beat them with ease. He only had a problem with them once they ambushed him, and according to real world logic that you like to use, 7 people suddenly attacking 1 guy not expecting it tend to win. He killed them, so clearly they weren't stronger than him.
>>
>>91202063
Jack's lineage never once implied he has innate powers, he just simply asked for his ancestors' help because it's referring to how most Asian cultures (and even non-Asian ones) believe that your ancestors are all watching you and can give you strength when called upon. Jack was merely trained extensively in the gap between his childhood and young adulthood when he returned to Japan to claim the sword and face Aku.

The daughters, while not taken on any globetrotting, were clearly shown to be trained from the moment they could walk and put through the wringer until whatever age they were when the priestess sent them out into the world.

It isn't rocket science.
>>
>>91202147
Prove it, then. Clearly you must know if THAT is somehow the biggest issue with this thread and not the retard who thinks fighting females are some kind of SJW plot to destabilize cartoons.
>>
>>91202063
>>91202150
>>91202188
I forgot to mention (again) that this is on TOP of the whole female strength disadvantage thing.

Basically, Jack's strength = Daughters' strength + inherent male advantage (not to be underestimated) + magic (sword?) + ancestry + far more training + far older and wiser overall
The Daughters should fare much worse against him than he did against the Guardian based on this equation.

>>91202207

Nice accounting for the fact he was outnumbered, and ambushed which was the primary reason why he had trouble ONLY IN THE BEGINNING.

A "GROWING" relationship, twat.

And, seeing as how they were trying to kill each other not long ago, literally any kind of development would be growing.

And it turns out, there's a middle ground between "acquaintance" and "life partner". But I wouldn't expect you to know much about relationships in general.

>>91202063
The man who taught Jack how to jump good was just some lost kid who was raised by those jumping creatures. He wasn't magical, or special at all, and there is no reason to think he comes from a royal lineage. But just like Jack he could exceed what in reality are human limitations just by training.
>>
>>91203668
He's already given an explanation for her inclusion.

You like it or you don't, but don't call it shoehorned.
>>
>>91203668
In what way? It's obviously not going to resolve their animosity in ONE episode. Even then, that wouldn't be shoehorning anything, just lazy writing. How about you park the autistic concerns and just wait until the damn episodes come out?
>>
>>91203780
>stop disscussing things

Eat shit.
>>
>>91203759
Let's not forget; cartoonish training. With boulders strapped to Jack's body in a way that would have crippled a real person, if not killed them from the strain.

But hey, our friend clearly knows more about how cartoons work because apparently there's some internal, consistent logic us retards are simply missing.
>>
>>91203813
Great argument, kiddo. You really showed me what for with that witty barb.

Also, this isn't remotely discussion. Discussion doesn't involve goalpost shifts and boogeyman claims all over the place.
>>
>>91203759
And to add to this, yes, Jack is special. He learned how to jump good in a short period of time, and he learned many things throughout his life in a shorter amount of time than one might think. The other man who taught him how to jump good seemed to have taken longer judging by the flashbacks and how happy and surprised he seemed when Jack starting jumping with the boulder.

But this ordinary minor character is still more "special", has more potential, than an actual human in real life. Jack is more "special" than others in his universe, but others in his universe can exceed human limitations just fine as well.
>>
>>91203813
>Stop projecting your personal problems on something you know only the bare essentials of

We're still going to discuss it after the episodes air anyway. This is a whole lot of nothing.

Or rather, it's more like a bunch of bored /v/ users trying to spark an artificial "controversy" originally started by /r9k spergs, because of SJ's "connections" to Tumblr.

Or more simply, it's popular so you want to try and downplay it.

The difference is

One guy is just trying to revel in a show he likes and wants to enjoy his experience with others

The other guy sees something popular, so he has to try to ruin it with nitpicks, projections, and ad hominem, for the sake of making people he sees as "intellectually inferior" feel worse for his own personal gain
>>
>>91203972
Whatever, you literal shitposter.
>>
>>91203984
>nitpicks, projections, and ad hominem
See? Now you are the one reducing my arguments to "muh contrarian".

Truth is it works both ways, one half says that the other one hates shit because they are contrarian and the other one it's so fucking stupid that they think that worring about something being bad or pointing out flaws is being contrarian. You faggots just want to believe everything you like it's a flawless 10/10 and if anyone dares to talk about flaws or what was done wrong despite of it being an enjoyable show you throw a fit and begin crying like a bitch.

Grow up, faggot.

>>

Nobody has even once said or implied this is going to be flawless. All most people have done is just say "stop overreacting" and the like. But hey, please keep playing the victim card because it really helps your case, especially when you then follow up with an insult or some scatological retort.

People are already complaining that aside episode 1 the tone of the show isn't quite the same, which isn't a bad thing per se, but some people think, myself included, that giving Jack a partner is too much.
>>
>>91204234
>More back peddling, damage control, and playing the victim card

How expected.

If Genndy had created a show you fell in love with in the first place, then he should be fully capable of making a "sidekick" character to be likable. You won't know for sure unless you see it.

Either that, or you're just a newfag from /v/ pretending to be an SJ fan so you can post drivel while feeling morally justified.

At that point, there's no pleasing you. And the more you post, the more it seems likely.
>>
>>91204363
And yet we don't know how much of "partner" she's going to be. Could very well just be there to see Jack do some shit and only help out in a pinch. Even then, the idea of a sidekick is not inherently bad, it can be done well and has been over the years. Besides, Jack has teamed up numerous times in the show, namely with the Scottsman on at least 4 separate occasions.
>>
>>91204406
Where's the back peddling? or Damge Control? Just because you keep spouting this shit it doesn't mean it's true.

>If Genndy created...

Aha, that's why I'm concerned that the TV previews are STILL talking about Ashi up to episode 8, and again, it's not about her, it's about what she's going to do to the tone of the series.

>>91204441
The Scottsman was in like 5 episode of 40+, Ashi might as well become a main protagonist with the directiong the show seems to be taking.
>>
>>91204525
And would that really be bad? If it's done well, then there's nothing to be worried about.

>b-but Jack fights alone
And yet NOBODY complained about the comic's ending with Jack assembling a fucking army comprised of every race and person he helped over his long journey, something that could still very well happen albeit with the new official canon.
>>
>>91204600
That's the thing, I don't care if it's done well or not, because it's probably going to be the same fucking story we've heard a million times already, I would much prefer an unpredictable ending that the same played out predictable garbage of daughter/father ending.
>>
>>91204525
>Just because you keep spouting this shit doesn't make it true.

You should really try reading your posts aloud to yourself, sometime.

The damage control comes from you dropping any and all aggressive behavior you've showed to other Anons, by all of the sudden strawmanning them to make them into the villains.

Again, you can't know how well executed this "tone" will be. If it's bad, you have full right to bitch. If it's not, you can quietly shuffle back to /v/, maybe their echo chambers will be nicer to you.
Until then, it's just negative projection, and by that I mean a cry for attention.

Still waiting on those "deep flaws" by the way.
>>
>>91204676
>it's probably going to be the same fucking story we've heard a million times already
And that story is? We don't even have any clues about the final episode's events. Hell, a lot of people are foreseeing Ashi giving her life to save Jack and help him find the opening to finally striking down Aku.
>>
>>91204685
You don't know how well executed it will be either, so you coming here with your speriority complex trying to convice people that it is going to be done right it's fucking pathetic.

I'm being pessimistic and you are being positive about it, the difference it's that I don't cry nor scream contrarian when someone posts their opinion.

>>91204737
>how will it be predictable? Some people even think [predictable thing] will happen!

>>91204783
You can literally call anything predictable considering everything that can be thought of for the conclusion has been done in some way in another work.

>>91204783
I never once said Genndy would do a good job, actually. I'm just not stupid enough to not notice how you're trying to start an argument for the sake of attention.

And saying I'm the one with a superiority complex is a better joke than Ashi could ever turn out to be.

I read an article about gendy saying that he couldn't make a continuous storyline for the original episodes due to the fact that its was on cartoon work then and kids wouldn't be able to follow it. That's why it was always a one off villain episode every week.

Shame though, given that plenty of kids can follow a linear narrative.

Of course, it's always got to do with how networks want their shows to be episodic so they can marathon shit in any order, even making up related things for the hell of it.
