I don’t want Jack “more hardcore”. I want more of what they were doing in the original 4 seasons, and/or an ending, and if that’s not possible, then there’s no point.

I look at the preview glimpses and it just seems like they’ve mislaid the magic. Which is to be expected, really, after a hiatus that long.

Would’ve been better if they had done an entirely new show, “by the creators of Samurai Jack”.

The first scene is already great, when Kasumi says to the black-looking attacker, “take your filthy hands off me!” Classic Japanese political incorrectness!

Be warned tho, it’s as brutal as Jack is cute. But then again, the samurai are not supposed to be cute, no way no how!
