I'm a bit disappointed that this is only a 10 episode cour, and is the "conclusion" of the series. Given the comments from Genndy about Jack over the years there were a number of options the series could have taken before concluding things (although this route is definitely the most promising).
I hope, at least, we can finally get the answer for why Jack had to be tested like this by fate. His father didn't have to face the same level of adversity in defeating Aku the first time.

I'm wondering who all these assassin women are. I wanna know more about them! Also, I'm so glad that Tartakovsky has no limits so now he can make the show as badass as he wants.

I'm just sad that Mako passed and so we can't have properly original-voice Aku
If they can find someone who can mimic his voice I'm seriously gonna pee myself.

Greg Baldwin is probably the guy. He's a good Mako imitator, and has assumed Mako's roles that he had outstanding (like Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender).

I'm so stoked about this! Samurai Jack is probably my favorite animated series of all time, and this new, final season is looking to be amazing. It was interesting to see Jack cowering in a hiding place like that. Those assassins must be something else. Last time he was that freaked out was when he fought the Minions of Set (who are also my favorite villains in the entire show, by far).
And yeah, the person doing Aku is almost certainly Greg Baldwin. His Iroh voice was quite good. I just hope people aren't too disappointed when he can't do a spot-on impression, because you know some people are just salty like that. The truth is that with the drastic and continuing reduction of cigarette smoking rates, the ability to do a voice like that is only going to get rarer and rarer as time goes on. Even if they found a person whose general vocal qualities were identical to Mako's, chances are they won't have the decades worth of vocal cord damage and irritation that gave his voice that extra-evil quality (and ultimately took his life). |

So, now that this is underway, what does everyone think? I personally have been incredibly impressed. It feels so familiar and yet somehow more mature and advanced at the same time, but without being unnecessarily grimdark. The cinematography is exceptional; Jack's run through the hallways in the ancient temple (watch it here) had me damn near on the edge of my seat! One neat thing I've noticed: the martial arts and fight choreography seem much more fluid and realistic; no more mindlessly hitting each other's weapons.
I'm interested to see where his relationship with Ashi goes. (Speaking of that, it sure as hell is bringing out the perverts and memekids in droves; the Samurai Jack subreddit has been utterly subsumed with shitposts. Not at all unexpected, but still disappointing.) |

Great news. I love this TV show. This news did not know her, so I'll look and see it as soon as I find it.

2+ years later and I'm on this very episode. I dunno why it takes me so long to catch up on old stuff like this. I still have to beat Winnie the Pooh Major League Baseball, you know?
I didn't care for the scatman robot's "dick joke" in Episode 5 (the visual was enough, jeez) but otherwise this has been really good. Every episode is like one of the highlight episodes from the original four seasons. Here's my speculation: Spoiler: show My expectations for the remaining episodes: Spoiler: show

Okay, I finished this.
I'll give it a 9/10. It was perfect up until the last three episodes. Episode 8: 3/10 Episode 9: 10/10 Episode 10: 5/10 The finale had some good ideas, but it felt really rushed with odd pacing. Spoiler: show So yeah, I'm a bit surprised that the ending had some solid ideas but just dropped the ball somehow. I underline that metaphor with permanent marker - this wasn't a fundamentally flawed ending. There was a clever twist and the non verbal buildup had been gold. You could have skipped Episode 8 - The Cringe and Episode 10 would have been better, but I think Episode 10 was just problematic. Still a great effort and better than other stuff airing today!
