Intro:
Samurai Jack was not a show I grew up watching. I didn't start it until after the fifth season. However, just because I wasn't a long time fan, doesn't mean I can't watch the show, and love it for that matter. And when I watched it, it became my favorite animated series of all time.
The Story: Samurai Jack centers around a samurai named Jack, who is lost in the future. After the demon Aku, sent him there, after the samurai nearly took his life. In the future, Aku rules all, and Jack had to find his way back to the past, and prevent this timeline.
Samurai Jack is one of the most creative shows of all time. From it's meshing of so many different genres, such as, science fiction, fantasy, action, adventure, comedy, and animation. To the original take on the fish out of water story. With interesting characters, surprisingly descent comedy, and entertaining stories.
The Characters: I enjoy the characters, all of them are interesting and go through changes, and have their own complete stories.
Let's start with Jack. Jack: is the hero of the story, lost in a time he isn't fimiliar with. And it's very easy to mess up this kind of character. However, this show makes him both interesting, and likable. Jack is a man willing to save people, that it's a flaw. Like the time there was a time portal, but if he went in, he wouldn't be able to save someone. So, he ended up saving the monk, and loosing his opportunity to go back.
Another flaw is that Jack can often let his anger get to him, when under stress. Which adds an element of relatability. Jack, is one of my favorite protagonists of all time.
Although I love Jack, Aku's my favorite character. He's both threatening and hilarious. From the great vocal performance by Mako. To the great screen-presence, Aku is just fun to watch.
He's the ruthless dictator of Earth. And man, does he pop off the screen his great design, and of course, performance and writing, as I mentioned before.
I love Aku. And he's one of my favorite villains of all time.
The Animation: The animation of this series, is simply beautiful to look at. Well drawn, wonderfully rendered, and smooth movements: allowing for great action scenes, and stunning visuals. Look at it, and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
Conclusion: I don't know what I prefer, Samurai Jack, or Death Note. But it's definitely in my top 3, and basically a perfect television show. There's so much I didn't talk about. But to cut it short, this show's worth watching. I've seen every episode at least 5 times, and I don't regret a thing.
