Samurai Jack could easily be a a part of Death Love Robots because of its unique style and content.

#22I loved the small segments of behind the scenes the did for Samurai Jack back in the day in CN. It was my first time as a child to appreciate visuals and sound in a new perspective.
Even to this day a beautiful work of art.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wasn't much a fan of the rebooted series, I thought the inclusion of the new character took too much focus. Almost felt to me more like a fan fiction ending with someone's OC
I watched the whole series because of some clips from the new season. The new stuff felt more mature to me and the old stuff more like a kids show. Overall I liked both, but I get it, the new stuff felt a bit off.

#24For a lot of great behind the scenes artwork: https://characterdesignreferences.com/art-of-animation-8/art... I used to have an artist roommate obsessed with the art style of the show. If anyone hasn't yet watched the rebooted season from 2017, I highly recommend it. Edit: one great clip from S5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFDkcvrSaYU

12 years on you can get the original creator back to storyboard everything, hire back the old VO team, and still have people complaining the show is too different :P

#25A truly breathtakingly daring show booth visually and sonically. I adored if at the time and it still looks and feels unique to this day
The article only touches on the visual world and even quotes Genndy Tartakovsky as saying we’ve almost forgotten what animation was about — movement and visuals , but I agree with you about the sounds. The background music sets the scene as much as any background visual.
Mm, we live in such a world of words that they are often the default method of communication we use but there are so many more symbols available and even non symbolic ways to communicate.
Sonics is so much wider than language and music but in a lot of real time art takes a back seat.

#26For anyone who liked samurai Jack's art style, there's a newer show called primal made by some of its creators that has a very similar style to it. Similar to the low dialogue in samurai jack it has no talking at all

#27Slightly off topic, but I only recently discovered Samurai Jack. I found it through some old VHS archive recordings. The care with the animation is unreal. I'd love any links or suggestions for where to find more authentic versions. Commercials welcomed. The original airings have a different feel compared to the heavily processed versions on streaming platforms and archive.org

#28Glad to see Primal mentioned in the comments, still waiting for season 3!

#30Samurai Jack is so beautiful and being able to portray things / have the confidence in the art really seems to cut back on unnecessary / clumsy dialogue that so many shows have today.
The episode with the three blind archers guarding the well that grants wishes is a master class in gesticulates at everything Whenever I think of Tartakovsky I also think of his clone wars micro series he did for Cartoon Network. The episode with the special forces clone troopers that has no dialogue after the first 30-60 seconds or show is just so unbelievably good. So much tension.

the episode with mace windu taking on an entire droid army - by himself - is what opened my imagination to the true potential that a jedi master has. it's a shame that neither the movies, nor any other tv show, have come close to conveying "why" everyone fears and respects force users.
