My Thoughts on Samurai Jack Season 5

My Off the cuff thoughts, on the brand new Samurai Jack Episodes on Adult Swim! I'm 3 eps deep at the point of filming this video and these are my first reactions!

It grew up. It's mature without being edgy, it's violent without being gratuitous, and it's elegant without being restrained. It also happens to be fucking amazing

[MrNotThatFamous]

its actually really amazing and got my full attention.

I never knew what Samurai Jack was until season 5 was announced. so i watched seasons 1-4 and Love it. cant wait for more episodes

I'm amazed they kept the pacing, it's slow, but it's never boring, it just takes it's time with it's progress and really lets you breathe.

To those of you bitching that "IT'S NOT A REBOOT" he addresses this *literally* less than a minute into the video. Maybe some of y'all should watch first and comment afterwards.

[Grunkle]

to those commenting "IT'S NOT A REBOOT", he states that in the first ten seconds of the video

[FlorentiusIV]

What I think is interesting is that so far every episode ties in with the next while the old series was mainly episodic.

Who is ready for the Scotsman on Saturday?!

hope his not talking about the 4th episode that night where adult swim pranked us because he's gonna be so disappointed.

This might be the single greatest continuation/reboot/remake (whatever you wanna specify it as) of a series ever. Kinda shows that having the original creators back on the team actually works...go figure.

"I just assumed I could wait it out and he would just

Every episode truly deserves a standing ovation.

I'm hoping they keep doing reboots like this, with a more adult style. Still waiting for the Galactic KND.

This season is really amazing. If u really think about the world and how terrifying it is. It makes you realize how amazing Jack is to be fighting it all. You can really see just how much the world has affected him. Hes fucken going crazy, but yet staying true to his convictions.The struggles he faces, both physically and mentally is truly inspiring, that along with the visuals and ambiance just makes it feel more personal and eerily relaxing.. I'd call this season, so far a masterpiece in my book. That fucken amazing punch he did on the log was awesome.

I like how the show/ Jack's inner self seemed also make fun of the concept of Jack justifying killing robots even though a lot of robots shown to be just as alive as any human. "it's all just nuts and bolts"
Hell they address this in episode with the robot Hitman.

Samurai Jack is one of my favorite cartoons to watch when I was growing up.
Now almost thirty, I find it way more enjoyable. Still kick-ass to this day.
I'm glad it got the final Season which is the fifth one, and I hope Jack gets his sword back.

I think Danny Phantom deserves a reboot. Sure, it had a "proper" ending, but that ending was incredibly rushed (thanks Nickelodeon) and left us with several unanswered questions. A "ten years later" reboot similar to what Butch Hartman himself drew would be the ideal reboot for me.

[Conradweiss]

AHHHH ITS NOT A REBOOT ITS A CONTINUATION ITS SEASON 5!!!!

[Agarania]

I'm a diehard Samurai Jack fan. He is my #1 childhood hero and one of the most important characters of my early life. And I'm so, SO happy with this season 5. This is like, everything I could ever want from this series. Also, this may be the only time, when I would say, that my childhood is being ripped do shreads and just smile while saying so, seeing how heavy this new series is. Sigh... If only we could get a Teen Titans reboot that didn's suck donkey balls...

Samurai Jack Season five is how you do a continuation. It pushes the story forward, provides us with some interesting new aspects(A more narrative based approach as opposed to the episodic approach) and really keeps to the spirit of what made SJ great. And to me, this should be notes to anyone wanting to bring back shows from cancellation, cough Powerpuff Girls.
