Samurai Jack was really violent at times yeah, but there was plenty of slower, atmosphere stuff. The episode where Jack finds the remains of his homeland was beautiful.
Random thought: it rubs me the wrong way when mods use modbot to close a thread with minimal comment.
If they close something that quickly they should elaborate more as to why they are closing it. It's a very poor look.

If it's 10 episodes then sometime in May. Which is about right for a Funimation simuldub.
Assuming we get an Easter weekend marathon, I think May 20th?
Well there's never been an Easter marathon
Then May 13th is probably the final Samurai Jack episode, assuming it's the 10 episodes.
Still wonder about April Fools since it falls on a Saturday this year.
Hmm, which is 2 weeks after Jack might be ending.....& one week after a new show would be premiering. I wonder if they'll do another double showing of another show to hold off the premiere, assuming we're still keeping the 11 p.m. slot afterwards.

Oh yes for sure. In the comments of a JoJo fan video made with SFM which contained the Japanese audio, I remember one person saying something like "What is this it sounds like the Attack on Titan language"
Yep
GAHH! I remember that episode! It was like the only one I managed to catch back in the day and I had lots of fun experiencing it. Really ought to catch up!
Guacamole sauce what sells it; still a heart attack waiting to happen.
I think he still has those knife wounds.
:O
I watched that OP a million times and I never noticed that.

After SAO, I've become very guarded about anime reception.
Really good fucking movie.

In that universe? I wouldn't doubt it.
Don't play it like a Souls game when it comes to the comeback. Being very aggressive and stamina management and replenishment is the name of the game
Can't bring myself to try out stuff like Dark Souls where the core appeal is "OH MAN, IT'S HARDER THAN BATTLETOADS, NINJA GAIDEN, & A SNK SYNDROME FIGHTING GAME BOSS COMBINED!!" I want to play games to relax & get a sense of progression.
Meanwhile, I just finished/platinumed Gravity Rush 2. I need to figure out what I want to play next while waiting for Zelda since that & Persona 5 are going to be my next big games. Maybe I should try out that Attack on Titan game on PS4 that I won a while back.

I like learning a games systems and then putting them to best use but this is something the Japanese tend to excel at especially for action focused games. That's one of the big appeals to me of Nioh as by the time I got the stamina restoration timing down and knew the basic attacks well enough I was mixing it up, dealing out tons of damage, taking barely any myself and looking good doing it.
You don't play Team Ninja games to relax and get a sense of progression.
Even Dead or Alive Xtreme 3?!?!
I fully understand why the game have gotten popular, because the people who take the time to learn the mechanics & how to fight each enemy get a sense of satisfaction knowing they were able to overcome such challenges after so many attempts. But for me, I just don't want to have to deal with that. One thing I hate is the feeling of "well I just lost ## minutes & now I have to do/try it again".
I don't mind a game making me think or testing my skills (in fact, I like certain puzzle games along with stuff like Ace Attorney involving problem solving), I just don't feel like playing something that takes it to the extreme......though I guess bullet hell shmups are an exception since I'm okay at them, but not "1CC to get the secret final boss" good.
Are those considered "games"? Huhuhuhu...

I've beaten Bloodborne, Ninja Gaiden Black, NG 2, NGS, NGS 2, DMC3, DMC 4, MGS Revengence, I should be fine enough in Nioh, when I eventually get it. I like character action games...beat Bayonetta 2 as well.
omg, Nichijou finally arriving tomorrow. Cannot wait to rewatch that.
I can't remember the last time I was legit excited for something to come to DVD or Blu-Ray......let alone when I actually BOUGHT a DVD or Blu-Ray.
I might actually start a mini anime collection assuming Viz can get around to announcing the release dates for all of Jojo & One Punch Man.

Jack looks like he just doesn't have time for anyone's shit anymore.
Rather ironic considering he might be immortal.

New Jack trailer was amazing
that looks nothing like a samurai. he doesn't even have a swordJack looks like he just doesn't have time for anyone's shit anymore.

i'll be sticking with my more historically correct samurais with Champloo. Let's go rewatch the episode where they played baseball against the americans.

Ah. That's what you call different enough but still faithful.
Regular Cartoon Network hasn't worked out how to do that yet.

Mad Jack: Fury Samurai
Well, it's still Genndy so of course it's faithful. There's literally no way for it not to be.
Bringing the original creative team back goes a long way.

And If it weren't on Toonami but instead the normal Cartoon Network I can promise you that they wouldn't have bothered getting the original creative team back.

So according to Cartoon Brew, the Samurai Jack trailer has 1 million youtube views, and 7 million facebook views.
In unrelated news...
Also according to Cartoon Brew, the cartoon character Snagglepuss is gonna be rebooted as a gay playwright being hunted by the US government.
Didn't see them taking that character in such a direction.

That new Snagglepuss face has become quite the talk around certain parts of Twitter
I'm hype too! Is it scheduled to be released this year or next?
I.....wut? That seems so random. I wonder how they came up with that idea.
January/Feburary 2018, apparently.
YEEEESSSSS. One of the few movies I was originally excited for & I remember having a big smile on my face when watching the first in theaters.
Uhhh....huh.....
....Exxiiittt? Staaggee leeefffftttt?
Oh, well I guess that kind of makes more sense, especially if they feel like they've got something to say about the current state of the world....but still such a weird turn to make for one of those Hanna-Barbara cartoons to take.
This would be like if they decided "ya know, let's take Jabberjaw & make him more serious, give him a gritty reboot, because that's what the fans want"
Still making my way through Zeta Gundam. Just watched the episode where
Char give a speech in Dakar, and I can't help but think how much better this was carried out compared to Kudelia's 'speech' on Dort. The Dakar speech wasn't, like, magnificent or anything (mostly because the Titans are little more cartoon villains, mostly) but a heck of a lot more effective than whatever IBOs was supposed to be.

The re-imagining of The Flintstones that writer did along similar lines is fucking great, btw. There was a thread about it somewhere.
I was going to say this. He was always portrayed in a certain light but they could never go that far with it because of the times. It was alluded to but never called out directly. That said the new comic basically just finishes turning Snagglepuss into a pink Tennessee Williams.
Every year, around Free Comic Book Day, I get back into physical comics for like 3 months and discover something crazy. Flintstones was that book last year, and it was fucking -wild-
Isn't that what Snagglepuss always was?
The bigger question is WTF did they do to Augie Doggie?!
