So is it just me or did that quality of this show start nose diving hard after episode 3?

And no, this is not about Ashi, Ashi is fine. The problem is that first three episode where absolutely fantastic while everything after that felt fairly mediocre; the pacing started to feel a bit rushed (and with episode 7 started moving at a break neck speed), the animation for most the fights was far less impressive than the Scaramouch and Daughters of Aku fight (almost feels like their budget started to dry up), the outlines and models started to feel more off than usual, Jacks guilt over his entire village just kinda disappeared after the first episode, and we really didn't get a lot of overly memorable scenes after that point (river of screaming bodies, Jack hiding in the coffin, Jack and the wolf).

It honestly feels like they used too much of their budget for the first three episodes and have to stretch it a lot thinner now. I'm not saying episodes 4-7 were terrible, they just weren't really up to the same standard as 1-3
>>
>episode 3
But Anon, episode 4 is where he teamed up with the woolie mammoth things, and you still had 3 more seasons after that!
>>
EPISODE 1 WAS FUCKING TERRIBLE. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU MORONS KEEP RATING IT SO HIGHLY? REWATCH IT AGAIN, IT HAS THE SAME SHIT PACING AS THE EPISODES YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT
SCARAMOUCHE WAS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT IT.
>>
>>92089200
4 and 5 should have been one episode..
6 was a fun, but a bit rushed at the end.
7 was rushed to hell and had way too much focus on Ashi instead of Jack getting his sword.
>>
>>92089200
>fairly mediocre

If it was on any other Cartoon, those episodes would be considered 9/10 AT WORST.
>>
I keep saying it, episode 4 was when it quit being dark "hope is lost" stuff and started feeling more like the original show. The first three were probably only as dark as they were so that [as] would greenlight it.
>>
>>92089290

I thought seven was the best of the four episodes you listed.

Genndy said that he wanted the first 3 to be a movie, in the same way that the first 3 of the original seasons are a movie.
>>
>>92089557
Shhh, let the bandwagoners have their fun.
>>
>>92089200
It's a shame that even a show like Samurai Jack is not immune to the same thing every returning show goes through after a long hiatus. Being either mediocre or bad.

And it's pretty clear what the ending is going to be too. Setting up Ashi this much kind of makes it predictable.
>>
>>92089200
dont you get tired doing the same thread everyday? brainless shitposting cuck
>>
"Nosedive" is a bit hyperbolic. I still enjoyed 4-7, but they are definitely not as stellar as the first 3 episodes. I think its because Genndy had a lot of loose ends to tie up (suicidal crazy Jack, Ashi being redeemed, finding the sword) before getting into the final act (Jack and Ashi going after Aku) and he didn't really know how to wrap all that stuff up satisfactorily.

Now that we've got all those plotlines finished I'm hoping the show picks back up for the final act.

I'm willing to bet this is what will happen

It's a common trend among serialized cartoons

DAE HATE LE SAMURAI JACK?

Gee OP, maybe the fact we've had 20+ threads bitching about SJ proves your not alone.

Retard.

>>92089290

yes

>6 was a fun, but a bit rushed at the end.
yes, Wanderer Fight must be a Epic fight like one of the 2,3 chapters
>7 was rushed to hell and had way too much focus on Ashi instead of Jack getting his sword.
Tea ceremony was good, but the mad Jack is a thing we already watched before
>>
>>92089200
I feel like rewatching the entire season all at once will feel so much better than watching it week to week for some reason, like it'll just feel like a movie with short chapters. I watch over the garden wall this way and the length is similar and It feels like a movie too.

Budget will pick up at the end for sure
>>
So do you guys think this show will end?
>>
>>92090060
WATCHA!

>>92089200
>>92089951
Gee, it's almost as if 10 episodes was inadequate a size for this season.
>>
>>92090060
Giant army vs Aku, jack trains Ashi hope and friendship kills Aku and Jack lives with his new family
>>
It started off good but not AS good as people make it out to be, the only episode you could say is flawless it's episode 1 and that was because it didn't commit to anything.

Episode 2 had reclicled animations everywhere and a couple of animation errors (8 daughters of Aku, shoes dissapearing and re-apearing) and to this day I still don't understand how the fuck the the Daughters knew Jack was inside that coffin.

In episode 3 there's a couple of errors too, like weapons reapering and the whole wolf thing made no sense, let alone that Jack gets hit with a maze and nothing happens. Those 3 are definitively the peak of the season but don't act like they are 10/10 greatest episodes ever.
>>
It's just you.
>>
>>92090060
Jack killing Aku but dying himself, followed by Ashi taking the sword and keeping Jack's legacy alive.
>>
How many fucking SJ bashing threads are you going to make that was exactly the fucking same you little slut
>>
>>92089200
Episode 2 was easily the best of the bunch, followed by 3, but the season is still very solid.
>>
>>92090013
This too.

this season is god tier

Imagine having so pathetic of a life as to not only go out of your way to watch something you dislike but to then spend hours bitching about it to complete strangers on a Panamanian maize-grinding forum.
>>
Jack is "young" again

FUCKING GENDY I LIKE THE NEW LOOK

also Ashi is the fucking problem had she had left in the current episode we'd be back to square one, now we have this awkward character whose character arc already completed
>>
>Jacks guilt over his entire village just kinda disappeared after the first episode

I'd kind of disagree with this part. They don't continue to bring up Jack's home specifically, but they keep up that general thread that Jack feels responsible for other people's deaths. First we see he feels responsible for all of the people dead because he never defeated defeating Aku, including his own people and family. And then later the straw that breaks the camel's back and leaves him so consumed with guilt he's ready to off himself is when he thinks he killed all those kids. And then we find out he was also feeling guilty about killing those sheep that one time too. They don't need to keep bringing up the "ghosts" from Jack's home after they establish them, but the overall theme of his general guilt over the lives of innocents was still present and was never suddenly dropped.

Its the Elder scrolls series all over again

What are you talking about anon? The Elder Scrolls never had a game past Morrowind.

>>92090281
It's exactly what I wanted from the show. I'm enjoying the fuck out of this season, but everyone is so obsessed with what they want to happen.
>>
>>92091017
Her arc isn't completed until episode 9. And she ties into Jack. This season is all about Jack personally.
>>
>>92089200
>And no, this is not about Ashi,

Yes it is. The pacing went to shit, the moment she became a prominent character.
>>
>>92089200
I think that even though the recent episodes haven't really had the same amount of quality as the first 3, they're still pretty good and even for other shows would be considered abnormally high quality. Just remember that season 4 was literally 13-14 years ago, the fact that Jack is back is amazing, and the fact that it's only for 10 more episodes is just mind blowing to me considering most reboots like this end up being dogshit on the bottom of a shoe. You can tell Tartakovsky still cares a lot about the show, but even he can't control some outside forces such as budget or whatever, though I still think that episode 7 was definitely rushed. And while I may miss the more serious vibe the early episodes have, just remember that Jack is now dead set to get rid of Aku once and for all, hence why he had tea with the tiny Buddha dude so he can bring back a sense of balance. Angry triangle face Jack is out of the picture as far as we can see, and the gods have deemed Jack worthy of his current sword, so naturally Jack is going to become the sly faced badass he was before. But regardless, I'm holding my final judgment until episode 10 is done, though I think that Genndy might need more than just 10 episodes, but who knows.

In your opinion! Jack has the sword. All he needs to do is defeat Aku. That's all the fucking pacing it needs.

Probably a bitter sweet ending probably we will have a surprise ending or what not

>jack kills future aku
>jacks goes back into the past
>jack kills past aku
>jack realizes that all the people he have helped will not exist because the creation of a alternate timeline
>we see all the character that jack helped in his adventures thanking him for helping them in their time of need
>Ashi is the last projection he sees and she says "good bye"

Sometihing like the ending of over the garden wall, or something like that.
