Batman Beyond for another chosty animated show.

For eastern shit i'm still at a loss, i'm not brainy enough to tell the good stuff from the bad stuff like some of the clever folk on here as I thoroughly enjoyed Cowboy Beebop and Outlaw star. Also Super Jail for an honorary mention.

But for straight up atmosphere and cinematography Gendy is the absolute grand master

Am I just not getting it? I never watched this as a kid but with the new season I decided to finally give it a go. I'm at the end of season 2 and I've still yet to be amazed by anything. I'm not saying it's shit but I just haven't seen anything nearly worth the praise that literally everyone I know to have watched the show heaps on to it. Are the first couple seasons known to be worse or something?

It's just memeing. It's not bad, but from a cinematic and animation perspective, SJ is just very flat. Lots of close up and stilted fight scenes that lack depth or a dynamic camera don't help either.

Yeah, but Space Dandy is an OVA, not TV animation. They had more time and money for production.

Xaolin Showdown had a lot of potential but ultimately fell short because Disney didn't want to do anything not childish with it

Kys. The reason SJ is so good is because it's deliberate and takes its time with scenes, not to mention its uniquely stylized art direction.

Samurai jack ran for 4 seasons and has only come back like 12 years later to get a true ending with almost all the major players involved sans Mako who died years back, it's 10 episodes (3 aired so far) that will finally end the show properly

I will never understand how this place loves this cartoon yet hates others that are actually kinda smart, not just fighting (rick and morty comes to mind but there are others)

I guess the visuals are decent but its just meh. Must be a nostalgia thing, as a first time viewer of Samurai jack, actually watching the episodes fully, So far it's just been completely mediocre.

>>81139963
It really is.

I like the concept of the show, but they really didn't do anything with the story past episode 3.
almost 4 entire seasons of filler before season 5 decided to add some actual plot to the show

the fights in the first 4 seasons range from terrible to barely alright

People mostly watch it because the characters are likable and there's some nice humor in some episodes but that's it

>>81129903
South Park-tier """animation""".

>>81139963
Because Rick and Morty's animation is trash and it's a show about nothing. Shit like Samurai Jack and The Last Airbender have an entire created universe with lore and an ultimate goal for their characters.

I'm watching it for the first time and I really like it.

When it comes to animation, visuals and animation itself can taker center stage.
The show is a lot like older japanese samurai movies or spaghtetti westerns where the visuals are used to make a simple plot carry a lot of weight and power through visuals and pacing. Though when it does have goofy stuff or humor I think its handled in a much more reserved and timeless way than something like rick and morty.

It also has a very distinct visual style thats usually not found elsewhere, at least not in the west on a childrens network. Reminds me of kino like Marcel Jankovics movies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtzy_RJQ7G0

>>81131024
The only anime I've enjoyed more than SJ for art style is Kaiba. No stories have ever interested me as much. Mushishi is probably the only one as comfy as SJ.

But it took me multiple to add up to what I like about SJ. There is no one anime for me on par with art, music, story, direction and rewatchability all in one package like Jack. Jack just does it for me.

>>81139963
BECAUSE LIKE THE ORIGINAL CARTOON IT'S A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

ALL ADULT ANIMATION IN THE WEST NOW IS JUST PEOPLE STANDING AROUND AND TALKING

My nigga

Personally I thought the Justice League cartoon was generally more enjoyable. Frankly I never understood the adoration for SJ, same with Dexter's Lab & The Power Puff Girls. They were good but they never really stood above even their contemporaries like Courage The Cowardly Dog or Animaniacs or Ed Edd and Eddy.

With the Justice League cartoon, the episodes generally flowed together and felt as if they were fleshing out a narrative, whereas SJ to me always seemed episodic in nature. Episodes like the one where he learns to 'jump good' literally ending on his seemingly jumping into a portal back to the past and Aku is utter surprise just for that incident to never be mentioned again springs to mind. Jack too, was a static character. Almost always stoic, a passive actor who merely reacted to whatever new baddie of the week he was put up against. There was no character arc in the original SJ, from the first episode to the last he was exactly the same.

It's a decision that doesn't make sense on any level at all.
