I REALLY wish they'd make a hefty tome of an art book for this show - one that's filled with character designs, background paintings, animation techniques & storyboards, background paintings, and any other juicy development tidbits/interviews they'd like to throw in there - and more background paintings! Maybe if Genndy ever gets around to making his Samurai Jack movie it could happen...
Genndy Tartakovsky is a marvel of a creator. Every one of his works has shined and developed into a masterpiece. No other director of television animation has inspired me as much as Gendy.
I'm an old fart who has been living under a rock and am only now seeing this show on Netflix. Love the art/design of it. It's the most clever use of limited animation I've ever seen I think. Brilliant!
What really brought me here is not to go on a nostalgic trip but the pay respect to the great Chris Reccardi he was one of the storyboard artists on Samurai Jack and many many many other shows this man will definitely be missed RIP😞
aku has to be one of the best looking design for a badguy I've seen. the people who worked on this are awesome. I really hope they deliver with the new season of samurai jack.
DEAD EYE STUDIO i really hope that!! but i m concerned about the animation too!! For example,DB,DBZ were so beloved and DBS is not that much..even i dont like DBS much!! so this continuation of the show is really bugging me!! i mean,would it live to our expectations??
Abhishek Pal oh man, i couldn't even get through the entire dbs series it was so bad. apparently dbs was just a rehash of one of the dbz movies. i have a feeling that somehow the samurai jack series will come back more bad ass than ever. its gonna be sort of interesting though with the fact that its going to appear on adult swim.
Genndy Tartakovsky, You are an Inspiration to me. Samurai Jack is one of my favorite cartoons growing up and I wanna say thanks for all you've done in the world of animation.
I remember watching this show when I was VERY little, so all my memories were very vague. All I remembered is that I thought Jack looked really pretty with his hair down XD I went on Netflix and saw Samurai Jack and I was so excited to watch, I almost forgot just how awesome this show was. When I watched Cartoon Network in my living and I suddenly heard that opening start, it was a great feeling, even if it was a re-run it was almost like seeing something new and exciting every time it aired. You just don't feel that kind of pure joy with cartoons these days. It's really sad that later generations won't be able to experience these gems.
This will always be considered a classic to me and will always be were I set the bar for quality in an action show. Truly one that should never be forgotten.
It's shows like Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan that make me want to keep following my dreams of being an animator. Thank you sooo much Genndy for being... well, for being so dang awesome! :D
I've definitely watched and appreciated each of the 52 episodes, thank you for such a unique show, so epic yet so serene, it inspires me to live a life of sorts...
LOL hell yea. His Grievous is my definition of murderous psychopath, cutting down clones like fruit. And I LOVE the way Tartakovsky made Mace Windu look like such a badass, his death in the movie really pissed me off after seeing his skill in Clone Wars. The whole bloody series was just excellent. I honestly have to meet Tartakovsky someday, and just express my appreciation for his work. The Action, romance, and humor in all of his shows is just on point.
I wish that they were able to still create more adventures with samurai jack because this show is just so unique compared to every single show out there. The sad thing is though I personally feel that they cannot continue because of thesadly past away Mako(RIP). Because him as Aku brought something else to the table. So I hope many people do appreciate this as much as I do
for a while i wanted to go into film as a career but slowly changed my mind to tv animation. I can honestly say this show gave me the most inspiration to make my own show and go into tv animation
I really felt betrayed when I found out they stop making Samurai Jack. Man... this cartoon is the best cartoon ever, has everything... he sounds and act like a real person with real feelings
Samurai Jack was a great show. I think the fact that the series is overflowing w/ both originality and style to the flow of an action cartoon is what makes it so amazing. I would love to see Jack finally make it home though, what an amazing show this was
After watching season 5, I both feel emotionally sad and glad Jack's journey has finally come to an end. However I was pleased with episode CI. The action sequences is a bit rush and the bittersweet is a bit too much. I mean Jack deserves better then being suffered from his lost of Ashi. Hopefully Genndy would come up with an alternate ending plus some extended scenes on DVD or Blu Ray. I'm grateful to have this show a part of my childhood and it's been a great ride. Thank you Phil LaMarr for being his voice, and to you Genndy Tarakovsky for building one hell of a show!!!
They're right... Samurai Jack is a one-of-a-kind cartoon, it has it all - action, emotions, great music, actors who's actually getting into their roles, suspence... more cartoons should be like this. I would love to have the artists' and actors' autographs. They have done a great job. Mako did also make alot of people happy, too bad he died... but he sure was honorable. :o) But I wish we would find out if Jack ever got home...
How fortunate of the people who worked on the show to come back and give the show what it once had with a bit of flare of newness and twists! Paul Rudish sounds like an awesome imaginative guy and although it is a shame hes not working on s5, his career still carries on! Best of luck to everyone and congrats to Genndy Tartakovsky who has achived what many creators would not :)
I never imagined Genndy Tartakovsky to look like this, but he is right there and he is the man! And it's great to see all those other people, like Paul Rudish amongst others, all those great, great artists who transformed cartoons to another level. This is true artwork and whoever thinks it would be worth less than the "classical" arts must truly be considered a fool.
Watched it before my kids were born & loved it. Now my kids love watching the reruns. They keep asking what happens at the end. Would love to see the movie wrap it up, although it won't be the same w/o Mako. He was awesome!
It was - among these who were able to understand and apreciate it. I didnt knew Genndy Tartakovsky was this young, jesus he created Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, Ed Edd Eddy and clone wars, I love them all. He is a genius and a true inspiration.
I remember loving Aku as a villain. Like who would have thought that a demon from outer space had so much charm and humor? Had me laughing several times! :D
Thank the Lord God for creating these brilliant minds responsible for the greatest series I have grew up on as a kid! I feel so blessed to live in a world where this show was created with the epic cinematic and emotional scenes!
this has got to be my favorite cartonn of all time... =) i never had cable but loved to watch it as a kid whenever i went to my grandparents house... and they too eventually even started to like this show i never found out why it never continued and i wish they had of kept going with this because its amazing ad is random with its mix of comedy, action, and charm overall a great show and it will always be my favorite cartoon! =)
I have been watching and appreciating this show for a very long time :) Can't wait for the movie since I, for one, really want to know what happens to Jack
I'm really great fan of Genndy Tartakovsky's work/art, especially Samurai Jack but I can't believe that it doesn't have any connections with Frank Miller's Ronin. It's almost the same story... Still I think never heard or read about how it has affected Samurai Jack.
this show really is a form of art that belongs in some sort of animation museum.
agreed
Absolutely
I REALLY wish they'd make a hefty tome of an art book for this show - one that's filled with character designs, background paintings, animation techniques & storyboards, background paintings, and any other juicy development tidbits/interviews they'd like to throw in there - and more background paintings!
Maybe if Genndy ever gets around to making his Samurai Jack movie it could happen...
I KNOW. It would be the bestest, most awesome, epic coffee table book EVER! :D
They should now that he's finished the series
Imagine watching Samurai Jack in live action IMAX screen
"watch and appreciate years later" a decade and a half later, he was right!
ADULT SWIM IS BRINGING IT BACK, BAAABY!
+Liam Joseph I can't wait til it premieres!
it's back BABYYY
ye.
cool
This show was a visual masterpiece.
this show is still talked about to this day because of it's originality. gendy and his team are geniuses and much kudos for Dexter as well.
Samurai Jack was my favorite show when I was a kid.
Same here. He was the stuff Saturday morning cartoons were made of. And the animation was visually striking.
Genndy Tartakovsky is a marvel of a creator. Every one of his works has shined and developed into a masterpiece. No other director of television animation has inspired me as much as Gendy.
yeah and i came here after battle through time
I'm an old fart who has been living under a rock and am only now seeing this show on Netflix. Love the art/design of it. It's the most clever use of limited animation I've ever seen I think. Brilliant!
Best show ever
Samurai jack is in the pop culture .
THIS CARTOON. Truly one of the greatest works of art in our time. Some of the scenes and ideas will just be burned into my mind forever.
This show is the meaning of art like its so beautiful especially if you're older and rewatching it
What really brought me here is not to go on a nostalgic trip but the pay respect to the great Chris Reccardi he was one of the storyboard artists on Samurai Jack and many many many other shows this man will definitely be missed RIP😞
That laugh... I just love it! R.I.P. Master..
Yup, no one could do it better. It travels from here to the moon and back, and I think that is as good of a description that laugh can be
The Best Cartoon EVER!
Genndy Tartakovsky is the best man to ever be placed on this planet!
aku has to be one of the best looking design for a badguy I've seen. the people who worked on this are awesome. I really hope they deliver with the new season of samurai jack.
+DEAD EYE STUDIO sadly Mako(the voice of Aku) is no more!!
Abhishek Pal i heard about that. dude was a really great voice actor. hopefully the makers of the show could find a good replacement for him at least.
DEAD EYE STUDIO i really hope that!! but i m concerned about the animation too!! For example,DB,DBZ were so beloved and DBS is not that much..even i dont like DBS much!! so this continuation of the show is really bugging me!! i mean,would it live to our expectations??
Abhishek Pal oh man, i couldn't even get through the entire dbs series it was so bad. apparently dbs was just a rehash of one of the dbz movies. i have a feeling that somehow the samurai jack series will come back more bad ass than ever. its gonna be sort of interesting though with the fact that its going to appear on adult swim.
+DEAD EYE STUDIO Mako's understudy did a very good job continuing the role of uncle Iroh in avatar: the last airbender, he's probably the best bet
Samurai Jack is timeless - love it - thanks for that
RIP Mako-san.
Samurai Jack is really one of a kind...no show can ever compete to a masterpiece like this
Genndy Tartakovsky, You are an Inspiration to me. Samurai Jack is one of my favorite cartoons growing up and I wanna say thanks for all you've done in the world of animation.
This was, the best show ever. I remember me and my dad used to sit just us to watching this. Even if we had seen the episodes multiple times. Memories
I remember watching this show when I was VERY little, so all my memories were very vague. All I remembered is that I thought Jack looked really pretty with his hair down XD I went on Netflix and saw Samurai Jack and I was so excited to watch, I almost forgot just how awesome this show was. When I watched Cartoon Network in my living and I suddenly heard that opening start, it was a great feeling, even if it was a re-run it was almost like seeing something new and exciting every time it aired.

R.I.P Mako

i love the art-style, and the tracks in this show
I really felt betrayed when I found out they stop making Samurai Jack. Man... this cartoon is the best cartoon ever, has everything... he sounds and act like a real person with real feelings
Im soo happy Jack came back!!!
It's like when Jules says to Marvin "I don't remember askin' you a godamn thing!!" Phill Lamar is good at staying quiet for the majority of scenes.
Samurai Jack was a great show. I think the fact that the series is overflowing w/ both originality and style to the flow of an action cartoon is what makes it so amazing. I would love to see Jack finally make it home though, what an amazing show this was
Probably the best show on CN. Fits kids and adults as one and has so many memorable moments. Can't wait for the movie to come out!!!
After watching season 5, I both feel emotionally sad and glad Jack's journey has finally come to an end. However I was pleased with episode CI. The action sequences is a bit rush and the bittersweet is a bit too much. I mean Jack deserves better then being suffered from his lost of Ashi.

Thank you Phil LaMarr for being his voice, and to you Genndy Tarakovsky for building one hell of a show!!!
They need to bring this show back, seriously. I'm 22 and I would watch this waiting for a new episode every week.
They're right... Samurai Jack is a one-of-a-kind cartoon, it has it all - action, emotions, great music, actors who's actually getting into their roles, suspence... more cartoons should be like this. I would love to have the artists' and actors' autographs. They have done a great job. Mako did also make alot of people happy, too bad he died... but he sure was honorable. :o)
But I wish we would find out if Jack ever got home...
Bring this show back!
It was my favorite show as a little girl!
If there's one show I wish to be endless, it'll surely be this one :)
How fortunate of the people who worked on the show to come back and give the show what it once had with a bit of flare of newness and twists! Paul Rudish sounds like an awesome imaginative guy and although it is a shame hes not working on s5, his career still carries on! Best of luck to everyone and congrats to Genndy Tartakovsky who has achived what many creators would not :)
one of my favorite tv series, the best animated series since "Batman: the Animated series"!
I never imagined Genndy Tartakovsky to look like this, but he is right there and he is the man!
And it's great to see all those other people, like Paul Rudish amongst others, all those great, great artists who transformed cartoons to another level. This is true artwork and whoever thinks it would be worth less than the "classical" arts must truly be considered a fool.
i miss this show so much, especially Aku's voice and his character personality. r.i.p. Mako you where the best.
Watched it before my kids were born & loved it. Now my kids love watching the reruns. They keep asking what happens at the end. Would love to see the movie wrap it up, although it won't be the same w/o Mako. He was awesome!
These individuals have no idea they shaped my childhood. I stayed up every Saturday night to watch the new episodes on tonami
I love this show as a kid I watched all the ep it's so epic
It was - among these who were able to understand and apreciate it. I didnt knew Genndy Tartakovsky was this young, jesus he created Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, Ed Edd Eddy and clone wars, I love them all. He is a genius and a true inspiration.
yeah, Samurai jack, Jonny bravo, and Ed,Edd n' Eddy are the 3 best CN series :D
One of my ultimate favorite shows when I was a kid. Still enjoy rewatching an episode now and then today :'D Samurai Jack ftw!
great show, I still watch it on DVD, though I am older now. it still is very good, both visually, especially visually, and otherwise.
Jack is proffesor Utonium
i loved this show!!the best cartoon series ever made...aku, robots, scotsman, archers, aliens full of amazing things!!!
this is was the coolest freakin show!
I remember loving Aku as a villain. Like who would have thought that a demon from outer space had so much charm and humor? Had me laughing several times! :D
6:50 onward man... it's kinda scary how true it is. People who made it sure know what they're doing.
The ninja episode was by far my favorite
Thank the Lord God for creating these brilliant minds responsible for the greatest series I have grew up on as a kid! I feel so blessed to live in a world where this show was created with the epic cinematic and emotional scenes!
Its so cool how much thought and work they put into this show
R.I.P Mr. Mako I always thougth you were awesome as Aku among your many roles
Sad now we never see cartoon like this anymore.
Best cartoon series ever. Stunning. :D
What a fantastic cartoon.
So cinematic yet subtle.
Love this cartoon. Very atmospheric. Shame it never got a proper ending.
this has got to be my favorite cartonn of all time... =) i never had cable but loved to watch it as a kid whenever i went to my grandparents house... and they too eventually even started to like this show i never found out why it never continued and i wish they had of kept going with this because its amazing ad is random with its mix of comedy, action, and charm overall a great show and it will always be my favorite cartoon! =)
Samurai Jack is the best show ever! 🎋🎴🀄🗻
I have been watching and appreciating this show for a very long time :) Can't wait for the movie since I, for one, really want to know what happens to Jack
one of the best cartoon series' ever.
I'm really great fan of Genndy Tartakovsky's work/art, especially Samurai Jack but I can't believe that it doesn't have any connections with Frank Miller's Ronin. It's almost the same story... Still I think never heard or read about how it has affected Samurai Jack.
Good Job!
im 22 and I love this cartooon :P
this should've continued
it was really fun to watch as a part time show
i used to love this show growing up. this vid explains so much.
this and batman beyond was my childhood
I'm just hoping that in the new series it will be animated like the original
It has the original creators and directors, so it should
No I know that all the directors and creators will be back. I mean I hope they will use hand drawn animation like the original, not flash
+ultimatecartoon the way Dragon ball super is now going,i doubt that this show will be a bit different too!!
Aaron pfund i hope so!!
Thank you, Genndy Tartakovsky! We love you!
I was in love with this show.. still am: -(
i miss this show, when i was little i used to watch it everyday!
i remmeber comming home from school and watching this. Used to make my day worth it :]
I used to watch this whenever it came on TV. I remember my sister hating it... Good times....
Sooo inspiring! Thank you Tartakovsky and other creators, your message is SO inspiring: NEVER GIVE UP!
Matthew from Wallpusher Guitar Innovations
God I miss this show.
Ah, yes! The good ol' days when cartoons were good, and CN actually had cartoons in general! How I miss shows like this...
9 years later and I'm still waiting for the movie : D
Samurai Jack: A classic concept, unbound animation and some truly unique character designs. "IMO".
The best animation show ever!!!
one of the best cartoon series :))
and great video about making
One of my favorite cartoons.
Just amazing artwork...
yup my childhood was cool.
