[BBboy20]

From anime trope to an American ending.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

paradigm city has seen better days

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh yes, it is time for the Guardian.

Wait, did he ditch Ashi after they did it? Coldblooded Jack, coldblooded.

 

[BatDan]

Probably the weakest episode. Good animation at least.

What was that city in the preview? The one from the episode where he piloted the giant mech?

 

[Neoxon]

Guardian time?

 

[Shard]

Yea, it wasn't so much the moment but the music, Frank Sinatra and Samurai Jack just do not work on a thematic level.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Guardian is back. Thank Aku!

 

[Xe4]

Kind of dissapointing. Oh well, Guardian is next ep. Hope it's better.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

So...that happened.

Is it safe to call this the worst episode so far?

 

[TheOGB]

I...

I really don't know how to feel about all this

but I am HYPE AS FUCK FOR THE GUARDIAN

 

[Morlas]

i was somehow alright with all of that....little awkward though but i never expected crooner music in jack

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Made it just in time, more Vegeta training I guess?

 

[Ray Down]

If the Samurai Jack tumblr wasn't shit before, it sure will be now.

[cntr]

you know, Super's finally going to have a week where it's unambiguously better than Jack

 

[Crocodile]

So how many episodes do we have left? 2 or 3? If we only have two I'll be a bit annoyed just because I felt that might not leave enough time for a good conclusion.

 

[B-Dubs]

Seriously though, did Jack ditch her after this episode? He seemed to be travelling alone next episode.

 

[Grexeno]

Opinions will vary, but I think it's easily the worst. First episode I actually disliked. Hope it doesn't continue. I really want this show to nail the ending.

Time for Super!

 

[Zonic]

ohhhh my god, I hit a huge plot point in Persona 5, & I had to stop right at a crucial save point & gotta wait until after Toonami to figure out the rest of it.

 

[friskykillface]

2 episodes left?
And that's it? Forever
And ever

D:

 

[Htown]

So...that happened.

I thought it was fine, unnecessary nudity notwithstanding.

I feel like everybody was mad just because Jack and Ashi got together. Like, the whole episode people were like "why is this happening"

 

[RampagingSoul]

Weakest episode so far, but not bad in my opinion far as Jack goes. Next week's episode looks good.

 

[HStallion]

I'm calling it next Samurai Jack episode

Guardian: Jack only a man pure of mind, spirit AND body can use the time portal. You out of luck!

 

[Mizerman]

Toonami |May17| Everybody Loves Somebody

^

 

[Shard]

Actually is was Dean Martin, but crooner music just didn't work here.

 

[BatDan]

We might get a Super that's better than Jack this week. Weird.

But yeah, two episodes. We'll see how it's all handled.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

you know, Super's finally going to have a week where it's unambiguously better than Jack

i'd argue that was last week tbh

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

Now we know that the guardian was preventing the use of the portal until Jack finally scored.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

So...that happened.

Is it safe to call this the worst episode so far?

Jack scored after 50 years, so nope, it's not the worst episode.

 

[Schadenfreude]

How many times have we complained about weak ass little baby anime protagonists who never just come out with or even worse, Dandy and Scarlet? Is that what you guys want? We finally have an adult protagonist who isn't afraid to declare his feelings for someone and doesn't got cock blocked by fate. Let's be happy, ToonamiGAF. Love is in the air.

 

[ckohler]

What date (in spoilers)? I beat it yesterday.

 

[Ray Down]

Gennedy playing 4D chess.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

....Werid AS bump.

 

[Ponn]

Maybe I missed something but did they ever reveal Ashi's lineage? I mean what if this turns out to be some Oldboy shit happening?

 

[Ultratech]

That was a bit unsettling.

 

[Morlas]

I enjoyed the episode, but hopefully this means that Genndy can focus on what jack is good at, cool action and atmosphere...looks like we might get that next week.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Time for Super.

 

[Korigama]

The reactions for this episode have been a lot of fun. And AS bumps just keep getting...weirder.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Okay Adult Swim what was that?

 

[friskykillface]

The fuck at that adult swim bump
Did bloodfeast make that

 

[TheOGB]

Did adult swim just release the Trump piss tape? Is that what I just witnessed???

 

[Grexeno]

Congrats AS, that was your most fucked up bump ever

 

[bigkrev]

Hope Super can b half as fun as last week!

 

[Hellwarden]

That was a weird bump...whoo.

Anyway, Super time.

 

[Shard]

Also didn't care for how heavy handed the shipping was for the episode, Samurai Jack is a better storyteller then that.

 

[HStallion]

Some of these adult swim bumps are fucking terrifying

 

[Zonic]

What date (in spoilers)? I beat it yesterday.

"That" event on Nov. 19th/20th. I almost thought I got a bad ending at first.

 

[cntr]

tbh, I have to say that S5's pretty rough overall. It just feels a bit too rushed, which doesn't really work with the focus on romance and character development. It should've covered way less.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Did we get a full opening?
