The true moral of Samurai Jack by a production standpoint, as far as the existence of Season 5 shows, is to never lose hope.

RIP Mako... No one can ever replace you as Aku. even Genndy admits to this.

After watching the finale tonight it was worth the wait

Pretty good timing since I just saw the last episode of Samurai Jack Season 5 today.

Can't wait to see your thoughts on the 5th season.

Who wants Johnny Bravo on Adult Swim?

I have been waiting a long time for this review and it was well worth the wait! I'm glad to see you actually did it Erod! Thanks for fulfilling this fanboy's wish

I am surprised that you didn't include X9 in your list of one-time-antagonists.

Great analysis E-Rod! I just saw the final episode and it was both beautiful and bittersweet. I can't wait to see your take on S5 and perhaps a list of your top 10 episodes! My top picks actually include Jack is Naked, Jack vs the Hunters, and Jack and the Spartans. I'd love to see your list and your reasoning behind it.

I still remember a video you made shortly after the trailer for season 5 dropped back at the end of 2015. You started out very composed before yelling out "Jack is back motherfuckers!" You pretty much said what every fan of the series was thinking. This show was truly a work of art and knew how to tell a story. It knew how to be funny but could also bring a tear to my eye if it wanted to. In "The Aku Infection" when Jack is becoming evil, we see all those he has helped helping him and it is a beautiful moment. On the other end, Jack vs Aku was hilarious as Aku has a mental breakdown when he can't find Jack's real sword. There was something there for everyone and like you, I always hoped that it would finish one day as it saddened me that Jack still hadn't returned to the past. Can't wait to see what you think of Season 5.

We are watching this right now actually, so i found it highly amusing to see the video posted right now.

ERod, when it came to Samurai Jack getting a proper ending, I can tell you this. I...NEVER...lost...hope.

Dude this video is awesome! How do you not have more subscribers?!?

It was a wild run, man. Took more than 10 years, but we finally got the end we needed. I'll never forget this show.

speaking of the villains, what are your thoughts on Scaramoche?

I've thought about it but I wasn't too sure if I would say it or not but just after watching the season 5 finale samurai jack is without a doubt my favorite cartoon of all time!

samurai jack is one of my favorite animated series next to batman the animated series and loud house.

what's the name of your kickass theme song and can o list it

Very informative, nice job

All your review are good erod

I am very happy that we got our beloved Samurai Jack Back in the nick of time!

I love how "The plot" is just you reading the intro, it's a pretty succinct intro

Hey Erod, can you do an honest review of Regular show?

5:17 R.I.P. Mako Iwamatsu (1933-2006) Mostly Mako Voice Of Aku from Samurai Jack and Uncle Iroh in Avatar The Last Airbender Honor and Righteousness

The comic “Gimm Tales from Down Below” actually shows that even Him from Powerful Girls doesn’t mess with Aku, even though the latter at this point is technically retired

are those the laser guns from fallout in the background?

I was born in this array and I loved it Samurai Jack and aviator the last air bender were my favorites.

With you on jack's character that's why I enjoy characters like captain marvel/Shazam, superman, King Arthur, characters doing good for sake of doing good even if the world around doesn't understand that ideal.

I found the end to be quick, & bittersweet, but hopeful.

finally someones shows some love to the shadow assassin

time to wait 50 years for the review :P

Personally Samurai Jack was one of the first animated shows I watched that really opened my eyes. To call it "anime" is insulting but at that time early 2000's it did encourage me to watch more anime. I didn't watch the series in order when it came out, last episode I watched Ironically was "The Boy and the Samurai" only later did I learn that was the final episode.

13:51 its just Erod, quentin tarantino best moments in his films are the conversations

ERod can you Do Honest Reviews of Gravity Falls and The PowerPuff Girls. Also have you seen Disney XD's Motorcity?

I was wondering why your vids werent coming up in my feed but I realized I wasnt subscribed to you 😂😂😂😂 better change that imediently.

From what I've read: they wanted to conclude the series in a cinema movie. However, after the Powerpuff Girls movie bombed at the box office they decided to scrap that idea, without bothering to continue the show.

honest review of cloudy with a chance of meatballs please. it has Bruce Campbell, and we all know you can't resist him and Mr. T

Honest Reviews for The Powerpuff Girls and My little Pony friendship is Magic, Adventure time and Wonder over yonder Please! ^^

14:45 THAT'S THE NAME OF THE EPISODE!? I've only been going by the numerals. That's hilarious!

i really hope that they make a season after the finale

This review was brought to you by X T R A T H I C C Pizza, courtesy of Aku himself!

who is better bill or Aku

Do an honest review on season 5 soon

My only complaint of the last season: the guy voicing Aku made him sound tired....& a bit drunk.....at least until the last ep.

You made a lot of good points, but the one I thought was the best was how Jack is a good "White Hat" hero. Sure, it's interesting to have anti-heroes once in a while, but people have gotten too lazy with them. It's like they try to make everyone into an anti-hero nowadays because, in the words of Dark Helmet, "good is dumb". It's nice to have a series where you can appreciate someone truly noble and selfless in a believable, engaging format.

Agreed this is a fantastic show I think it won some emmys for its time too also guys someone answer me this please is Eric all right like him and his wife are safe I know he recently uploaded a new vid but is he safe like he has food and power?

consider doing a honest review of Moville Mysteries from 2002, its gravity falls only much darker

The first episode of the show is one of the greatest works of animation ever. Little dialogue, lots of powerful visuals.

I said this in the comments of Nostalgia Critic's Suicide Squad review and I'll say it here. The clipless reviews are here to stay. They allow Doug and Eric to be creative with their content without having to deal with KZfaq's stupidly flawed copyright system. It also allows them to try new things and get better as creators and not fade into obscurity. Eric said it himself: he need to evolve or die. If you don't like these types of reviews, why not leave feedback in the comments (despite what many people believe, Doug and Eric do read comments)? Otherwise, it'd probably be better if you unsubscribe. Not saying you should do the latter, but both options are acceptable.

Hey looks like 'm not the only one who compares the resemblance.

Jack is something special. I'm sure you'll do the season 5 justice

Oh, fun fact! That was the last remaining time portal in existence!

The biggest story influence on Samurai Jack is Frank Miller's Ronin. (Genndy himself has said so.) And that being Jack's key influence? We don't ever need to see an "official" Ronin adaptation.

you should do a honest review for season one of miraculous tale of ladybug and cat noir

So, who's became replacement for Maco on this part?

Honestly the best cartoon ever, do a review for MEGAS XLR please

What about that creepy Haunted House Demon, or X9 as ,cool antagonists for Jack?

All we need now is for the Nostalgia Critic to watch and review Samurai Jack

you should review season 5

i met phil lamarr voice of jack

My number one one-shot antagonist would be the ghost from Jack and the haunted house. He was even more evil than Aku who at least is funny. The ghost demon, wasn't funny!

FINALLY!!!!!

so why not include season 5 now that its over

considering it was the early 2000s and modern internet culture was starting up I’m surprised that their was never a internet cult to aku he is basically the first troll

Whether those people Jack gave up his timetravel opportunities to save would have been saved had he slayed Aku in the past depends on whether you subscribe split timeline theory or single timeline theory. Like... maybe that future ruled by Aku exists independently of the timeline that would result from Jack successfully slaying him in the past; and as such, those people in danger would stay in danger. That's one of the things I don't like about the 5th season- he went back in time without slaying Aku in the future.

make a casting couch of samurai jack because I wish samurai jack should have a live action movie and I think shin koyamada should play samurai jack and willem Dafoe should play aku

They say animation is expensive and I agree, it can be. However...if it's as pricey as people say. Then, how was Samurai Jack able to accomplish such greatness in animation with little to no use of computer graphics? Not everything has to be bouncy, silly and animated with Flash; talkin' about you, TTG. You CAN make hand-drawn animation and STILL not go over-budget. Hope Cartoon Network will realize this, before it's too late

The Guardian reminds me of Morpheus from the Matrix.

one of my fav thing about this show is Gaijin Goombah video on why jack not a samurai

also Samurai jack is based on anime ideas like story telling and also art style I mean every time I watch jack no matter if it's original series or season 5 it's anime to me

This show was nothing short of excellent!!!

GREAT FLAMING EYE BROWS!!!!

I definitely agree about tarantino having too much dialouge in his movies

There's no such thing as too much Quentin Tarantino dialogue

It's easy 2 say after finishing the 2 Hotel Transylvania movies co-starring Selena Gomez as Mavis, Tartakovsky finally have the opportunity 2 return 2 Cartoon Network and revive Samurai Jack for the final time. I did not get 2 finish Samurai Jack as a kid on Cartoon Network because I stopped watching it for Nickelodeon showing more Rugrats for their third movie and started watching SpongeBob and The Fairly OddParents. I just could've kept watching Jack when it was already about 2 b cancelled but I still didn't finish it. Same for not finishing Danny Phantom or The Legend Of Korra.

why didn't Jack just kill Aku in the future

Jack is my man. 😆🤘🤘

review season 5

YES it was AKU how killed the dinosaurs,

Wait second............(16:40) Americans like Mazingers ? I thought only people from Spain or Puerto Rico liked mazinger I mean doesn't that explain all of the Spanish dub ?

Legends of tomorrow was inspired by the cartoon network show samurai jack

just wish they told jack's real name

Aku is a lot like Bill cipher

Y'all gon' butcher me for this but.. is Phil Lamar Kendrick Lamar's cousin?

Jigen is pronounced as Gee-gin.

Okay, this wasn't bad, but it would've been better if it was just your voice, like your old Honest Reviews.

11:07 Yeeeeeaaaahhhh.... *cough* about that...

Ok seriously, where the hell is your Video Game Movies episode? Seriously.

wow so samurai jack was priginally cancelled.....on my birthday

😂😂😂. silent bob having way too much dialogue in his movies.

I was gonna say Erod, Season 5 ended last night. Why didn't you just go ahead and talk about it? Well, looks like you are.

Can you do an honest review of my suicide?

13:34 >Rebecca Sugar >talented writer Fukin wot m8

Review Season 5 of Samurai Jack

EXTRA THICK

@TheBlockbusterBuster LOL the mother of all coincidences that this is uploaded the same day as the series finale

diesooke jyejen

This series was great, but season 5 made it even better. It really exceeds perfection

no comment that Jack isn't played by an Asian ?

As a Lupin fan, it's cringing to hear you mispronounced JIG-GEN
