Samurai Jack

When does this start?

Yesterday.

My god, was that blood?

Were people killed in the pilot? A first for this series, the only bleeding you'd normally see is oil.

Yeah its on Adult Swim now. So its not mainly robots. People and creatures were killed in the original though.

Yeah, I dvr'd the pilot repeat.

Knowing Genndy, I don't think we have to worry about getting a bloodbath or anything. The man is clearly inspired by Usagi Yojimbo, which means thoughtful writing. He was probably pressure to put in as much as he did (And none of it from Jack.)

I mean, he's not Kirkman.

God, can you imagine a Kirkman wrtten Samurai Jack? *Shudders*

Really the only difference between Kirkman and Tartakovsky is that Kirkman accepted bloodbaths. Genndy had to deal with censors so he got oil changes instead. He was drenched in well over dozens of gallons of oil and fluids by the time the series was over.

So Jack is definitely gonna kill ashi, right?

Oh people are going to die. And they are gonna bleed.

You might have a point at that. All that oil represented something besides oil.

But they say Genndy himself claimed he has no interest in gore, and I still say he must be a big fan of Stan Sakai (Fights and death happen in Usagi all the time, only instead of blood or oil we've got stylish cartoon skulls to denote a death.)

Oh, and King, I'm not just talking about gore with regard to Kirkman. Have you read Invincible lately?

Kirkman on Jack ends with Jack fighting that 700 ton sumo guy in a rematch, falling under his bulk, and getting raped.

This "Robot Fight but with Genndy's Narration" was better than I expected.

Wow that was sad. =(

Holy shit, that was intense.

OMG JACK!! Holy shit...

Now even if he gets back...he won't really be back. =(

That poor brave wolf

Hahahah wow that was amazing. The Daughters are easily among the top tier of foes Jack has fought like the Imakandi, Set's Minions, Blind Archers, etc...

Aku's new voice. Thoughts?

Well it's not Mako, but it's literally the next best thing. Aku's new voice is Greg Baldwin, who was Mako's understudy for years and took over as Iroh in Avatar when Mako died.
