Oh stfu the entire 5th season was kino from beginning to end what contrarian moronic opinion xoukd you possibly have????
It wasn't pozzed at all and it felt just like the original series as well as having a great conclusion. Can you frickers enjoy anything on this site?????
You people are too bitter and angry to enjoy one single thing
The tone did shift drastically though and it's not unfair to say the first half was more compelling than the latter, which was much more fan service. Either way it was kino.
I agree, his lone-samurai stich was great.
I usually stop watching after he has unravelled the chain and let the b***h fall, just before the log breaks.
I don't remember it too clearly but I do recall it being absolute fricking raw kino for a few episodes and then very very abruptly feeling like fan fiction with a femcel self insert
Holy mother of wasted potential. Jack was supposed to become king not stick his dick in akus daughter.
You're just jealous jack has more sex than you.
i liked it but the last episode was insanely rushed
Yeah I agree it was rushed but there wasn't much you could do in a 20 minute time frame also the show was nearing 20 years old at that point it was time to wrap it up.
I really liked that she wasn't some feminist trying to outdue jack and instead she was just a sweet girl and his love interest
Ashi was actually a good character. She didn't try to outshine him, wasn't "men are bad" etc and actually loved and respected him when she saw everything he went through.
The arc was great and I was happy for Jack.
What’s your favorite episode Cinemaphile
I haven't seen it since it came out but I still remember after like 20 years there was the blind arches episode and the black/white episode with the ninja in some warehouse.
get somewhat rich and pick up a girl from any 3rd world shithole that is more "trad" although even there hoeflation is on the rise so hoes will lie through their teeth to get a ticket out of their shitholes
if you're really rich any village girl from said shitholes will be sold off to you at a not so high price by their parents if you know where to look for
for everyone else that isn't rich you're out of luck and will have to deal with tyrone's sloppy seconds
I won't lie. I saw Samurai Jack when I was a teen and it came on cartoon network. Fricking loved it with a passion.
Got nostalgia-baited when the last season came out. I actually did like it - except not getting over Aku's voice.
I didn't like the ending because it fricked Jack over and went all adult when the whole show didn't have that feeling to it.
Felt cheated on >the Guardian >Samurai Jack King >needed more Scotsman
>I didn't like the ending because it fricked Jack over
The video game based on the show has the actual canon ending to the series. I didn't care for the change tbh.
>went all adult when the whole show didn't have that feeling to it.
That's because everyone was a child when samurai jack aired. The audience grew up so it was more mature.
I remember seasons 1-4 always having mature undertones but never going all the way. There was always lots of insect blood or robot blood oil. Personally I liked that it was more mature it didn't feel restrained.
Also I liked how in season 5 they dealt with the idea of samurai jack taking a human life. He's a samurai after all and samurais do kill people.
>That's because everyone was a child when samurai jack aired. The audience grew up so it was more mature.
I understand that, I do. But the only reason Samurai Jack came back was for our inner teens/kids.
Don't know if it makes sense, but I wanted a Samurai Jack ending to Samurai Jack - not for it to go realistic on me. My inner teen was dissapoint. >I remember seasons 1-4 always having mature undertones but never going all the way.
It never went "bad". It always had a happy/good ending. >Also I liked how in season 5 they dealt with the idea of samurai jack taking a human life. He's a samurai after all and samurais do kill people.
Eh. Like I said, I watched Samurai Jack for an ending to Samurai Jack - not "the adult version - it's serious now guise" version.
I get your points, but I was watching for nostalgia, not a change in the tone of the show.
Still felt great watching though.
Aku's voice was brutal, if they did it today they'd probably use AI to improve it
i was critical of her at first but all things considered the episode with the aku chicks fighting Jack was kino and the fact that Jack got to have a love interest after a long quest is cathartic, he really deserved more of a life than just the Aku queest.
Holy shit, you're really pushing my nostalgia buttons.
Is this the episode with the lava/rock warrior who has to find a worthy opponent, and death sets him free?
way too difficult but heres a top ten after looking at a list to jog my memory >Jack Versus the Ninja >The Princess and the Bounty Hunters >Jak versus Aku >Haunted House >The Labyrinth >Jack versus Demongo >Jack and the Smackback >Scotsman Part 2 (or one) >Jack is Naked >Jack and the Samurai >Jack's Sandals >Couple on a Train
Almost picked and the zombies or 3 blind archers
This is such a perfect example of the how the show played with contrasting both the visual and audio at the same time. The stark blacks and whites, combined with punctures of absolute sudden volume spikes of dissonance in the creature's roar. Really spectacular shit when you're a kid.
Samurai Jack's original run was one of the best action shows of all time, that said the last season was solid but needed more time focusing on Jack and Aku dueling and that could've been achieved with just one more ep, it was too rushed in the end. Also it lacked the artful direction you got from the old show, missed the vibe of episodes like 4 Seasons of Death. I'm just glad the story was concluded cause to me it felt like Samurai Jack was stuck in this eternal struggle that he would never get out of which was tough since I started the show when I was like 7.
The biggest mistake Genndy made was changing to a linear format. Other than a few episodes, you could really watch the bulk of the series in any particular order and it had zero effect on your ability to understand and enjoy them. There were even several episodes of mini anthology that had stories that didn't connect to each other in the slightest beyond being a Samurai Jack tale. It's the entire appeal to the Samuari/Western style of story telling.
The ironic thing is that the non-linearity was pretty much imposed on the original show, they didn't have a choice on the matter due to how CN used to air the episodes.
Season 5 is the "unrestricted" version of what the show was intended to be.
Of course. Another fine example of how something of actual quality does require it's maker to have some fricking limits imposed on him if he's unable to do it himself.
"kino"?
There is on plot. The animation is pretty but what exactly am I watching? There are no characters and there is no plot. Only 20 minute action sequences and OHHHHHH.... VELY HONOLABRE SAMULAI JACKEU....
Not OP, and I'm not gonna defend a show made for kids (one of which I was) on it's plot and arc and all that.
The plot was simple: >Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! >But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. >Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! >Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku!
Das it mane. Das all you need. Everything else are episodes in that grand adventure and the character is Jack.
>Yet they technically gave us more.
Of course, but to understand that you'd have had to watch the show which that anon doesn't seem to have.
Like we mentioned above, there were episodes that were fricking movie-level quality stories within 20 mins like
way too difficult but heres a top ten after looking at a list to jog my memory >Jack Versus the Ninja >The Princess and the Bounty Hunters >Jak versus Aku >Haunted House >The Labyrinth >Jack versus Demongo >Jack and the Smackback >Scotsman Part 2 (or one) >Jack is Naked >Jack and the Samurai >Jack's Sandals >Couple on a Train
Almost picked and the zombies or 3 blind archers
It was gay to assemble all the characters from the show to fight and Genn told on himself when he explained Ashi was a character he created in his teens and then had the tragic "I'll always love you ack" death ending as if the show was still written by a teenager. I heard the video game fixes all this but still
I don't think there would be a single person on earth who would be happy if samurai jack came back. We all waited a very long time to see the finale and we finally got closure. They would just be desecrating a grave if season 6 was made. The vidya gets a pass.
The vidya is pretty much just a retelling of S5 with a bonus alternative ending. Nothing wrong with that.
But I hope Genndy doesn't buckle if CN/Adult Swim ever demand a continuation just for the sake of viewership.
Only if you stop after episode 3.
Oh stfu the entire 5th season was kino from beginning to end what contrarian moronic opinion xoukd you possibly have????
It wasn't pozzed at all and it felt just like the original series as well as having a great conclusion. Can you frickers enjoy anything on this site?????
You people are too bitter and angry to enjoy one single thing

Upvoted. Why can’t people learn to enjoy things???? Im literally shaking????
>Ashi, you have Aku's powers!
>*SCREEEEEEEECH*
>contrarian opinion
The consensus from Cinemaphile to the normiest parts of Reddit was that it's a disappointment past ep 3.
"SO SAYETH ME, KING homosexual!"
Yep. I don't hate the rest but the quality takes such a nosedive given how strong it starts.
How? The animation was incredible I literally don't see what you homosexuals are complaining about
>style over substance good
The characters and story were good too again, I don't see what you're talking about
I agree, his lone-samurai stich was great.
I usually stop watching after he has unravelled the chain and let the b***h fall, just before the log breaks.
Incredibly comfy show. Also a fitting ending.
it went from kino to shito in a couple episodes
bad ending
Kind of copied Gurren Lagan with it's ending though
They didn't even do it right which is what I hated
Some similarities doesn't mean straight up copy. You could say it copied Lone Wolf & Cub too but it's more of a tribute.
I don't remember it too clearly but I do recall it being absolute fricking raw kino for a few episodes and then very very abruptly feeling like fan fiction with a femcel self insert
>samuraijak
until the shoehorned love story and pointless character came on screen
You're just jealous jack has more sex than you.
Yeah I agree it was rushed but there wasn't much you could do in a 20 minute time frame also the show was nearing 20 years old at that point it was time to wrap it up.
He kissed her but was still a virgin considering she disappeared on the wedding day.
If the vidiya ending is canon then they lived happily ever after. Probably had kids at some point too.
If only it was possible to find a virgin gf in your 20s. They're all used up prostitutes now with massive body counts.
I get that people wanted the lone disgruntled warrior shit for Jack but Ashi was actually a really fitting soulmate for him.
Ashi was actually a good character. She didn't try to outshine him, wasn't "men are bad" etc and actually loved and respected him when she saw everything he went through.
The arc was great and I was happy for Jack.

Genndy ruined the masterpiece that was Primal by making a season two so I will never watch anything he makes again.
Holy mother of wasted potential. Jack was supposed to become king not stick his dick in akus daughter.

They really did him dirty
Go read the comics
>needed more Scotsman
What? If anything it was too much of the scotsman
>too much of the scotsman
Get out.
I’d take more of his daughters
Aku Ashi is best Ashi
I really liked that she wasn't some feminist trying to outdue jack and instead she was just a sweet girl and his love interest
Aku's voice was brutal, if they did it today they'd probably use AI to improve it
i was critical of her at first but all things considered the episode with the aku chicks fighting Jack was kino and the fact that Jack got to have a love interest after a long quest is cathartic, he really deserved more of a life than just the Aku queest.
Yeah but her mom's got a pretty nice cake
What’s your favorite episode Cinemaphile
In season 5? Probably the first one just because I waited for a continuation for so long and was happy to see it finally return.
Holy shit I think I remember. Isn't the whole episode from the point of view of the noir detective robot and in the end he sympathizes with Jack?
Had to look it up. I remember now "take care of Lulu"
yes
lulu, she was a feisty lil thang
>Airdate September 25, 2004
>I still remembered today 20 frickin years later
I remember most of it too, many a kino moments
Holy shit, you're really pushing my nostalgia buttons.
Is this the episode with the lava/rock warrior who has to find a worthy opponent, and death sets him free?
yes
some of these episodes could honestly work as feature films if you add more stuff to the basic plot structure
way too difficult but heres a top ten after looking at a list to jog my memory
>Jack Versus the Ninja
>The Princess and the Bounty Hunters
>Jak versus Aku
>Haunted House
>The Labyrinth
>Jack versus Demongo
>Jack and the Smackback
>Scotsman Part 2 (or one)
>Jack is Naked
>Jack and the Samurai
>Jack's Sandals
>Couple on a Train
Almost picked and the zombies or 3 blind archers
>Haunted House
Such a great one
This is such a perfect example of the how the show played with contrasting both the visual and audio at the same time. The stark blacks and whites, combined with punctures of absolute sudden volume spikes of dissonance in the creature's roar. Really spectacular shit when you're a kid.
The way he kills Aku is funny

it was supposed to be fiction
Picrel made the intro
>whatchaaaaa
At this point, should just do a watchparty for Samurai Jack marathon? Oldgays only?
Maybe, doesn't sound like a bad idea.
I'm in
He lost the armor too early

I don't get it, wasn't this a Cartoon Network show for kids? Was this season targeted at adults? How do they explain that?
>wasn't this a show for kids
Yeah in the early 2000s. Now all of the kids are grown up.
Are you a concerned parent?
I’d say it was aimed at like 8-18 year olds but that’s based on pretty much nothing
"kino"?
There is on plot. The animation is pretty but what exactly am I watching? There are no characters and there is no plot. Only 20 minute action sequences and OHHHHHH.... VELY HONOLABRE SAMULAI JACKEU....
You've never watched the show
Not OP, and I'm not gonna defend a show made for kids (one of which I was) on it's plot and arc and all that.
The plot was simple:
>Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil!
>But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me.
>Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future, where my evil is law!
>Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku!
Das it mane. Das all you need. Everything else are episodes in that grand adventure and the character is Jack.
>Das it mane. Das all you need.
Yet they technically gave us more. That's what makes the show memorable. It punched above its weight class.
>Yet they technically gave us more.
Of course, but to understand that you'd have had to watch the show which that anon doesn't seem to have.
Like we mentioned above, there were episodes that were fricking movie-level quality stories within 20 mins like
and
It was gay to assemble all the characters from the show to fight and Genn told on himself when he explained Ashi was a character he created in his teens and then had the tragic "I'll always love you ack" death ending as if the show was still written by a teenager. I heard the video game fixes all this but still
>It was gay to assemble all the characters from the show to fight
only because you've never had any friends
Can wait for him to come out as trans
Can't happen, the show is over
Nothing ever ends.
I don't think there would be a single person on earth who would be happy if samurai jack came back. We all waited a very long time to see the finale and we finally got closure. They would just be desecrating a grave if season 6 was made. The vidya gets a pass.
The vidya is pretty much just a retelling of S5 with a bonus alternative ending. Nothing wrong with that.
But I hope Genndy doesn't buckle if CN/Adult Swim ever demand a continuation just for the sake of viewership.
Shows over so that won't happen
Just the first 3 episodes
Zoomies wern't even alive when S5 of Jack came out
