Several moments from the battle that kicks off this concluding season made me cheer out loud.
Back whenSamurai Jackdebuted in 2001, it was still a distinctly different cartoon.
Everything pops likes crazy and is just so damn beautiful.
Tartakovsky fills screens with flowing purple sunsets or lush forests that are nothing short of looking at a dream.
This show is simplytoopretty at times.
Itdoesfeel like all bets are off and that its the end of the road.
Such a conclusion wouldnt be out of place with the grimmer aesthetic that the show is playing with now.
Their intense training scenes definitely mirror Jacks very own back in the shows pilot.
Its nice to see the show splitting its narrative between Jack roaming the world and these new villains-in-training.
Aku claims, That was the old Aku.
Jacks mortality and the futility of his mission also see consideration in a surprisingly thoughtful way.
This season has been constructed with serialization much more in mind than it was in the original series.
