I would have put every Scotsman episode on that list as one entry

There are only 3 eps feAturing him right? Was it ever explained how he got a gun in his leg?

 

[Window]

You gotta get Matt Zoller Seitz's essay on this show in the OP.

Shit, it should BE the OP.

God damn that's high praise but it's deserved. This show is stylistically exquisite (or at least my memory of it is). It's pastiche done just right.

 

[Hellwarden]

Aku would probably destroy Arby's to be honest.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Who else is ready to get it on and poppin tonight? YAASSSSS!

 

[Raxus]

Aku would probably destroy Arby's to be honest.

I will unleash an UNSPEAKABLE EVIL on your bowels.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I will unleash an UNSPEAKABLE EVIL on your bowels.

It's what I do.

 

[everyday math]

I'm so ready for some Samurai booty tonight

 

[Xe4]

Aku would probably destroy Arby's to be honest.

God damn do I love Arby's twitter.

 

[Wandering Robot]

I've spent the last week and a half marathoning it, so it's safe to say I'm ready.

Spoiler

i'm not ready

Aku would probably destroy Arby's to be honest.

Ha, ha.

Samurai Jack in the Box

I will unleash an UNSPEAKABLE EVIL on your bowels.

But, a foolish fast food warrior wielding all day breakfast stepped forth to oppose me.

 

[Xe4]

This is a post to try to clearly explain when and where the Samurai Jack premier is.

Strangely enough, to the best of my knowledge. Samurai Jack's season 5 premier does not show first on Toonami.

The Samurai Jack AS stream has the premier showing at 10:30 PM ET/ 3:30 AM GMT, after a 10:00 PM ET/3:00 AM GMT Genndy Tartakovsky Live Q & A. I believe this will be free, that is, to the best of my knowledge it will not require a cable login to view. I believe it will repeat multiple times after that, as well.

Toonami, then has its premier a half hour after that, at 11:00 PM ET/4:00 AM GMT.

To avoid splintering discussion, it may be best to have a discussion of the 10:30 showing in here, and watch the 11:00 in the Toonami |OT|. I'll try to stick with this and likely watch both the 10:30 and 11:00 showings, but really, just post where you feel most comfortable.

I'll continue to update the thread with new information as I get it : )
I am not sure if this is going to be a reoccurring thing or not.

Edit: also,

 

[Lucky Seven]

Oh my god, the chat in that stream is probably the worst i've seen. Needs some moderation. Hopefully they do a stream with every episode!

[Soapbox Killer]

I thought this was an hour show? How could I be so wrong?

 

[Galactic Specter]

.

Duck Dodgers is such a great show

 

[Nikodemos]

.

Duck Dodgers was amazing. Best little-known series out there.

"Cheap counterfeit Manolo Blahniks."

 

[Bronx-Man]

.

Speaking of shows that need to be brought back

 

[Geist-]

One hour before the QA and then the return of Samurai Jack. I can barely contain my excitement.

Duck Dodgers is such a great show

Remember that shot for shot Iron Giant reference?

 

[TheFlow]

Was hoping for a 1 hour premiere

 

[Bronx-Man]

Remember that shot for shot Iron Giant reference?

oh my god

 

[Xe4]

BTW, The Birth of Evil is on now, good intro into how Aku came to be, and great episode on its own. After the two parter is over, it should switch to the Genndy Q&A, and then the premier.

.

That was a shockingly good show, and the parody of SJ in that episode was on point. Not surprising given they had Genndy on as a guest.

 

[Xe4]

Q&A is up.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

Duck Dodgers is such a great show

I remember the episode where Dave Mustaine of Megadeth guest starred as an amnesiac parody of himself and a song off The System Has Failed Us was used at the end of the episode. It was great.

 

[Manzanas]

Are we only getting 1 episode a week?
Was hoping we would get 2.

 

[VariantX]

S5 of samurai jack is less than a hour away, probably best birthday present i could think of that I could get from television.

 

[Gorillaz]

Wont be able to see this live but can't wait to watch and see the reactions in here should be great

 

[Hypemaster]

Excited

 

[everyday math]

So exciting

 

[Shard]

I see we are in for a late start.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

hold me

 

[Fancyarcher]

I especially love the Green Loontern episode. Dodgers poking fun at how obviously evil looking Sinestro is, was hilarious.

This is what Seda posted in the Toonami OT

I guess just to make it clear, if you are going to watch the early airing, keep any live thoughts in the Samurai Jack OT until it airs on Toonami. Although you might want to use discretion on how much you say because I'm sure some people are waiting for the TV airing there too.

Just to go all letter-of-the-law for the thread purposes.

Feel free to talk Q&A in here though if you want.

So, to reiterate, don't post at all in the Toonami OT until 11:00, and in here, try to refrain from posting anything spoilerish without a tag.

After 11 as the show airs, posting is open season though, so be aware, there will be untagged spoilers in here.

Man, that's a show I really need to go back and watch again.

But in the meantime, I'm stoked for the SJ premiere!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Genndy's on.

 

[Xe4]

Mako <3

 

[Nudull]

Aw, that Greg Baldwin story with Mako's grandkids is so heartwarming.

Pretty much. Tag spoilers until episode actually airs on tv. Like the other tv threads

Same!

 

[everyday math]

I could listen to him talk about his professional all day. Love the passion.

 

[Bucca]

my jaw dropped

 

[AlexFlame116]

I completely forgot this was showing today! Thank goodness I saw the OT! Went to go set it for record immediately. I am NOT missing this!

 

[Moaradin]

These call ins are already going great

 

[Shard]

Now I am reminded of that one Simpsons episode.

 

[Xe4]

These call ins are already going great

Man, those calls were a mess...

 

[Geist-]

I sincerely hope he does another 2d series not too long after Jack ends. Either a continuation of one of his other shows or something brand new, he's too good at directing 2d animation to be stuck doing 'meh' CG films.

 

[Crocodile]

Taking live audience questions is always and has always been a mistake LOL

 

[Nudull]

Man, those calls were a mess...

Don't know how they thought having a phone line wasn't going to lead to fuckery.

 

[ionitron]

Guys I saw the trailer for this for the first time earlier today, and I couldn't stop staring. It was beautiful.

 

[Tengrave]

He has so many great things to say, it's a shame that this is hosted so poorly.
