Lovin' the Style.





I've finished the entire four seasons of Samurai Jack - you know, that animated series about that samurai lost in time?

Let me break it down for you:

"Long ago in a distant land, Aku, the shape-shifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword, stepped forth to oppose him. Before the final blow was struck, Aku tore open a portal in time and flung him in to the future, where his evil was law. Now, the samurai seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku.

*cue the Samurai Jack theme*


This is a series that that is truly cinematic in scope and that incorporates action, humor and intricate artistry. "It is noted for its highly detailed, outline-free, masking-based animation, as well as for its cinematic style and pacing", as Wikipedia puts it. And I simply can't get enough of it.

Unfortunately, the series was never finished - with Season Four being the last one aired.

Though one can always hope; and hope I shall.


















Some slimy, toothy goat took your brain!
