Editing Samurai Jack (section)

== Status ==

Sadly Samurai jack has been effectively cancelled (including the planned movie) for quite some time although old episodes have started airing again. Aku's voice actor dying of throat cancer may have had something to do with it. <s> no more Jack. Just as Aku planned</s>  '''WACHAAA JACK IS BACK BABY <strike>2016</strike> MARCH 11th 2017. 11PM EST. ON ADULT SWIM.'''

Season 5 has much of what made the original series great, between its gorgeous visuals and well choreographed fight scenes. However, it also represents a major shift in tone as well, if the [[Grimdark]] intro didn't tell you already (see below). Whereas the more kid-friendly early seasons were relatively light-hearted and had Jack only ever fight robots and monsters, this time there's blood aplenty - from both foes and Jack himself - as well as heavy psychological themes between Jack's PTSD and Ashi's traumatic childhood flashbacks. But perhaps the most shocking moment is when Scaramouche points out that another character's head looks [[brundlepenis|like a penis]]. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVwHuwq8K2k Really]. It's surreal to see coming from a former kids' show (then again, the Scotsman got away with a racial slur in his 20-seconds-long insult of Jack when they first met - one of the insults was "soy-faced", which is a slur against asian people).  

WHAT FOOLISH SAMURAI HAS NOT YET ADDED THE NEW TRAILER TO THIS PAGE???
