it's the most beautiful animated shows I've seen in years.

Watching this two years later I’m a LITTLE late

The final episode should of been an 1.5 hour special.

Most of anime is the opposite of show don’t tell. 28 seconds into every fight, we enter a slow mo stare down while the bad guy chucked and the good guy gives a 3 & 1/2 minute monologue about how his whole life has lead to this moment, how much of his power he’s using and what he had for breakfast.

Rick and Morty swiping Jack's time slot last night single-handedly ruined my weekend.

Season 5 is a fucking masterpiece

"This show has maturity." Lol My mind went back to the part where Scaramouche said a guy looks like a giant penis. Still, good vid, great show.

Near the final episodes it felt like "ok we are hitting the halfway point 8 more episodes should do it." Company: Nope you have 4 more episodes you can work on hurry up!

Are you going to do a follow up video now that the series is over? I wan to hear your thoughts on it

This show has a bizarre personal connection to my life. So when I was four years old, I can remember my parents taking myself and my older two sisters tube sledding on this giant mountain. My memory is spotty, but I clearly remember my near death experience. I was a brave kid, I asked and begged my sister to let me go down on my own. Now keep in mind, these sleds were rubber, circular, and could hold about three people easy. So eventually after so many times of asking, they let me go on my own. I'm kind of skidding down this thing, feeling weird "bumps" as I'm now flying down this mountain before I could realize those bumps were not bumps, that was air that was slowly picking up under the tube, as I got faster and threw me directly on my head and neck going 40 km per hour. I rolled for probably less than five seconds, landed flat on my back and didn't think of anything for a bit. I blinked, realized I was fine, moved a bit and got up. I think I was in shock and just started walking down the mountain, my sister bombing down the hill behind me, I waited for someone (didn't have to be her) to sled down for me to just jump on their tube so I didn't have to walk the whole way. I stuck the landing, we made it down, the day went without a hitch. That night, I can remember being up, it must have been 2am, my sisters took the couches, my parents took the bed, everyone was asleep but I had the TV. You know what was playing? The episode of Samurai Jack when he's fighting the black ninja robot that uses darkness as his ally, so Jack uses the light. That was when, as I was eating the ginger bread cookies I stole from my sisters, staying up late watching Samurai Jack, I said to myself; "Wow, I almost died today".

The lighting of every scene when combined with the 2D animation...... It's technically a handrawn masterpiece

Oh man thanks for getting me to watch this! The ending was amazing! I loved samurai jack as a kid and when I heard it's back I wasn't interested in watching it because I thought it was the same old never advancing plot. Wow. This was something else.

Adult Swim not airing Samurai Jack was a dick move.

Dude... I'm not even watching the show, but you've already got my heart beating like crazy

“TOM KENNY JAZZ ROBOT” is the line that made me subscribe when I first saw this years ago.

I was equally enthusiastic about the first 3 episodes, mainly for the same reasons. I still liked the rest, just not as much. Curious if anyone else thought this season was front-loaded with excellence and then dipped a bit in quality.

Don't get me wrong, I love Rick and Morty, but it kind of pisses me off that Samurai Jack got completely shafted for a shitty April Fools Joke. I wouldn't mind so much if they kept it on repeat the whole night, but they only kept it on repeat until midnight so Samurai Jack and Dragonball Super were the only shows on Toonami to get screwed over by this. I just think this show deserves more respect than being the butt of a dumb April fools joke.

Also worthwhile mentioning- the soundtrack includes the work of Carpenter Brut, a FANTASTIC electronic artist whose work you may know from Hotline Miami, (Roller Mobster, Le Perv, Escape from Midwich Valley). The sheer force and intensity of their songs, though I haven't watched Jack yet, looks like it's an almost perfect match to the setting and new atmosphere of the story. Supporting Jack would also give support to such an underrated, but amazing artist as well! (I believe the opening theme to the new show is Hang Em' All, an excellent track to showcase the more mature theme)

Saw this 2 years later but I have been sold and will now be watching it for the next few hours!

LOVED the final season. And you were totally right in saying that it felt like it was picking up right where it left off and that we didn't miss a beat. If only Teen Titans could experience a revival like this, my life would be complete. :')

Can you talk about the ending? I feel like Gendy had this amazing vision and just fumbled and failed after the middle and then rushed.

1:52 "Long ago in a distant land I Gannon the shape-shifting master of darkness unleashed an unspeakable evil. But a foolish hylian warrior wielding the master sword stood force to oppose me, before the final blow was struck tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law. Now the fool seeks to destroy me now and undo the future that is Gannon"

As someone who loved the whole ride, but was disappointed by the finale, I would love to hear Cosmonauts review of the finale.

That trailer music in the background is goddamn amazing.

I never tought I would get mad at the rick and morty season premier because it would interfier with samurai Jack season 5? 2017 is great.

so glad this aint April Fools. ....or IS IT??

I prefer watching shows weekly. It gives me something to look forward to.

Been watching your channel for a while now and just watched this video. I’m kinda late to the party so I just picked up the box set of the complete series and I’m loving it so far! Thx Marcus

"Sometimes when a show comes back after a long there missing some of the elements that made the original so great" Thats how I feel about Dragonball Super.....merely a shadow

Loved how your like "i'll explain it to you anyways!" lmao

Bro I've already watched the whole series beginning to end but your video felt so cinematic and beautiful, thank you for your hard work!

I'm so glad I happened to stumble on your channel. You deserve way more subs!

The minute he said “Tom Kenny Jazz robot” I decided to continue watching past the first few seasons

The beginning was *so damn good*, but the rest slowly fell flat over time

I did watch it like old-school; waiting for each episode every week. And I cried.....such beauty! This was a real proper send off to one of the most cherished animated characters ever.

6:26 This literally captured my reaction to the show in a nutshell o-o

I loved this season. I watched every episode as it aired.

I stopped watching at 3:00... because I won't want _anything_ spoiled before I watch every season of this show.

Think my favorite part when watching videos on shows you like is how excited you sound to even talk about it; this and the clone wars vid especially make it clear that this is super fun for you and that you really want to get people into these shows.

Love how you turn really passionate when every once in a while you find something perfect, that could block every bit of nitpicking. And it is perfect. Wasn’t able to raise the rating from Hungary, but did enjoy it while it was airing, weekly. Love the vid.

There was a few subtle things that the fight really brought to light. The continutiy that he was trained to use the light, not the darkness. The jumping from Jack Jumps Good, the time he fought the hunters on the ledge like the assassins in season 5, the duel weilding a split spear from the guardian, and perhaps even the Scotsman's signiture spray of bullets from the battle with the Sirens. Honestly, the amount of perhaps accidental continutities from the old show

Am only a young 15 year old but this is the best animated thing I've seen ever. I am a hue fan of anime and shit but damn.

_Jack has bad luck with females_

I stopped partway through this to watch the first ep of the final season, then could only stand to watch the first scene before seeing how truly beautiful this show aims to be and with your promises of laughs and deeper themes, I've started going back and watching the entire series with my boyfriend and my older brother is so happy I'm finally seeing it - Thankya Marcus!

it's the end of 2019, Samurai Jack is still the best animated show.

8:30 gets me every time. I keep coming back to this video

I have watched this series because of this video. It was really great! Thanks man!

Why am I just seeing this. I grew up watching this show. Always loved it!

1:43 you convinced me I’m going to watch it and come back to this later

This music you've got bumping in the background is dope dude

Someone who shares my love of Jack and cares enough to express why everyone needs to be watching it when it airs. Subbed and liked. I also have to beat everyone into watching it and telling them not to wait. It is amazing and you need to see it. This is not a nostalgia trip, it is a character evolution and the amazing finale to the best show on CN.

Watching this 3 years after u uploaded this video, u got me after the first 20 secs

"EXTRA THICC"

The final season reminds me of post eclipse berserk

watched this video almost 2 years too late. I would've made the commitment to watch the series on a weekly basis had I seen this video when you released it. keep up the good work!

I remember when Samurai Jack premiered in the early 2000s and instantly fell in love! I was always so eager to watch new episodes!

Okay I know this may sound crazy but what if Keanu Reeves played as samurai jack in a real life adaptation of the show but maybe In a movie and make it into a trilogy you think it would be good

I loved this video and wish I saw it back when it was airing, but I just recently watched all 5 seasons in 9 days and the 5th in one sitting. HLOY SHIT it's one of the best things I've ever seen. I would love to see a follow-up video from you addressing your feelings about the ending. Also, excellent music choices.

Man, I watch a lot of your videos. This is the best one I've seen by far. Great critique, great observations. I'm way behind, but I'm watching now

It is a masterpiece of art, story, music and cinema. I couldn't have asked for more of a show that has held a place in my heart for close to 15 years.

Who else went to watch tonight's show as it aired at 11 only to be surprised by the rick and morty troll?😂😂 god I love those guys!😂😂

This expresses exactly how I feel about the show. Its amazingly good!!

Dude, you seriously had me watching Samurai Jack all day today from this one video

Man... Your channel is sooo good keep going man. Quality videos you have there!

It's like western Berserk. DISCOUNT THE BERSERK ANIME AT 7:22. KEK.

You NAILED exactly WHY this show is so frigging incredible!

Beautiful video, among a collection of other gems on your channel. You my friend have earned an inspired subscriber! Have a wonderful day

LOL this was recommended to me 6 years late. I did watch it back when it came out and was happy they honored the original show.

Watched it. Holy fuck guys, this show is too good.

Dude, I wanna be immortal, just so I can see everything you recommend

I'm happy to say that I've found this video through recommendations -- a bunch of your videos have started popping up in my recommendation feed. I think you've just crossed KZfaq's arbitrary prominence threshold. Anyway, already loving a bunch of your content. Time to go through the backlog! o/

I watch the first few minutes of this video and I was sold, I just finished season 5 and now I’m back to finish this video

A show so good that even the cruel April 1st gods cannot taint it.

Wait what? Season 5 is the final one?

I have to wait to watch, I'm usually stuck at work wen its on, and I don't have cable. but I drove 6 hours on the weekend it premiered to watch it at my moms house. totally worth it.

Omg the ending to this video with the cartoon network logo that opens and closes with that amazing sound just brought me back to when I was 6 awake before anyone else in my house getting a bowl or cereal and watching This every damn morning this show is a masterpiece

I knew that Ashi would just been demoted to a plot device to complete the story. Still fantastic animation, but I did not like Ashi from the get go. If anything, I would think that of the people Jack saved. One of them would have gotten off their ass sooner to help pull Jack out of his depression. Heck, A Spartan, the Scotsman or general figures that he did in life could have come forth. Or how Scaramousche became comic relief. Than the series using more creative characters than just referencing older episodes. There is a difference of using nostalgia effectively or just for the pandering factor. Something that I wished was explored? What if instead that Jack had to build his own time portal? As of how difficult it was to do so, it give Jack reason to go around to various people he met to get the ingredients. So in a way, Jack has a reason to interact and see the impact he had in life. A special Jem from the dog archeologists. An energy source from what the robots can pull. Ancient powers that the Woolies can summon a god to help tell Jack of what he needed. Shit like that. The show is fantastically animated but Ashi just dragged the show down for me.

HELL YES NEW EPISODE TONIGHT Edit: Well shit.

Just binged it in March of 2021... AMAZING

the art style is super well done!!! and storyline is amazing gonna rewatch it

Honestly I really want to watch it. But a lot of people were suggesting to watch it on adult swims website because aparently they were mentioning in passing that they might stop the show early if the show was ore watched on an outside site and I don't have a cable provider and I'm just like.... "I'll wait till it comes out so I can watch it on the outside then."

Samurai Jack inspired my first book Shobu Samurai, Project Aryoku that I published

okay you convinced me half way through, i'm gonna go give it a try

This animation is probably my favorite out of any animated show

I can't watch it because I'm in Europe and don't have American Cable, which sucks balls. Kisscartoon worked, but then that site went down. :c

I agree with him 100%. Networks relay on ratings to determine its popularity. And they also relay on Merchandise sales to fund future cartoon shows. This series may not continue ager this but by purchasing the DVDs, iTunes, GooglePlay, or KZfaq episodes online, that will show networks that these are the kinds of tv shows and cartoons we want; and hopefully encourage them to make more on the future. Because God knows we haven't had a decent action cartoon since 2011.

Honestly the art of season was so good that you can pause at any point and BOOM. New screen saver/ wallpaper.

lmao it cracks me up binging all your videos cuz they are all between 3-5 years old and they're all about things I liked/ watched growing up. I remember watching Jack first face those assassins and legit shitting my pants after I seen him get slashed and blood come out. It literally broke my mind cuz in the original(or first season, I don't really know what to address it as technically lol) he would rip through robots and cut em in half and it shows it on screen too. There was never blood, even whenever he got hurt. Then this comes out and he stabs a WOMAN in the neck and then breaks it with the blade, and then shit on the rest. Mannnn this whole show is amazing. Hearing Jack talk more actually makes you feel like you're getting close to a friend you've had for a long time, and they're just now opening up to you lol

The truth is about the airing of Samurai Jack that Tartakovski always intended to be mature and with blood but the pg rating of the network he was working didn't let him do what he wanted. That's also the reason it ended mid-story, because the creator wanted it to get more mature. So when he found the favorable time he just aired Jack, as it should be, darker, more mature and equally awesome as its predecessor! Jack rocks!!!!

Samurai jack doesn't look like a yellow person anymore, they actually gave him skin color that is real

Thank you so much for this. You described everything that I have felt watching this season.

Just watched the second episode of one punch man... Pretty dull, I'm really sad at what the studio is doing with it, then I remembered my cosmonaut friend here telling me to watch some old cartoon that I watched when I was a teen and well, I kinda trust him so I did. Ok, I don't know how, but I managed to stop after the sixth ep to eat. Now that I just finished the show I'm still wiping my tears, I'm broken, this is too good, how is this THIS good? Just thank you man for making me have this wonderful experience, I own it to you, thank you so much!!! And IMO, reading a few comments complaining about the end, idk if it's because I watched the whole thing in one sitting but all ten eps felt good and really special to me, the end really got me, I kinda felt it coming but I was rooting soo much on the inside that it still managed to draw a lot of tears from me. So, I just wanted to thank you, I love your work! PS: after this I'm just droping OPM, there is just no way I can still watch it after seeing this, I really enjoy the manga and intend keep at it, but we seriously need more animations like this and not that garbage.

Ghost Horseman is a direct Berserk Reference

if only he uploaded this video after this show ending

I'm sold. I'll start watching it in ten mintues. Thank you my dear friend.

I didn’t give this show the time of day when it was out but you know what, I will now watch this show or binge watch if it’s over by now

yeah the fist seasons were great great great....i LOVE the new show....its genius but im a little dissapointed that "love" had to be a main plot point concidering the existential beginings of the first half of the season

I can't tell if this is a real recommendation or not because it's april 1st

I was about to sleep but I have to watch this now

Halfway through season 5 and it's already got a phenomenal story and I think my favorite animation style.
