I'll never understand how Jack can so clearly outmatch a shape-shifting world-controlling demon like Aku. (Image Courtesy of: hulu.com)
As a kid, I watched a lot of television, but I was hardly consistent. Without TiVo or a streaming site to use, I ended watching multiple animated shows in pieces. Some series thrive in this format almost too well to the point that I enjoyed every sitting but never really gave a thought to what I was missing.
Samurai Jack was at the top of the list of shows in that style. I considered it one of my favorite shows despite never truly watching it sequence. Only years later did I regret that enough to realize it was time to sit down and experience this show from start to finish.
There is something truly special about Samurai Jack that flew under the radar for a long time. It is slow and fairly subtle in a way that works more for a mature audience than a young one which is a dangerous way to sell a show on Cartoon Network even coming from the Network's genius Genndy Tartakovsky.
