Fuck ExoSquad. Kiddie shit.

Nah, I would just hope it was different enough from Logan. Because that movie was great. Also, if you're going to go that route, don't show her naked ass in the hot spring. It's sending weird mixed signals.

As per usual, people are all "Ooh, it's problematic!" "Ooh, Ashi should be a lesbian!" "Ooh, father/daughter!" After this episode, any veneer of that is completely gone.

...You know how a show like Sekirei can have metric tons of fanservice but grounds itself with likable characters and the boobs feel more like a side dish than the only thing the show has to offer? Keijo...doesn't have anything but assess. Literally.

Random thoughts - 1. The Scatman is still alive and is still pretty damn hilarious. 2. "Member these episodes of Jack?" "Ooh, I member!" 3. So she was naked the entire time? Do you realize how much porn is going to be drawn of her now? 4. Jack's whole arc this season is how useless he feels in the grand scheme of things. This is actually a good way to deal with it. 5. At this point Genndy has dropped all pretense of Jack and Ashi being anything but a romance. Considering how the few times he had romances it was Aku screwing with him, it feels logical.

Well there was that one card where Adult Swim actively told people to watch Toonami stuff instead of Keijo to save anime.

Last time on Samurai Jack: After being told everything in her life was a lie, Ashi saw the world for what it really was, Aku screwing with Jack on a near-global scale for the evilulz. Unfortunately for Jack, seeing innocent children die was one step too far, and a mysterious figure dragged him off to parts unknown. Pity if he had stayed about ten seconds longer he would have seen the kids were alright. Now Ashi, having gone from wanting Jack dead to seeing him as the only person to actually give her a straight answer, has gone looking for the samurai, unaware of what he has done. Also Aku is all depressed and the Scotsman is a Force Ghost. Enjoy!

That's still good for Jack but the NBA clobbered everything. It's OK though, that's what reruns are for.

Chuck's plan came to fruition and cemented his complete assholishness. Also Gus is back, but seems to lay low for now.

The Scotsman died and is now a Force Ghost. Him and all the other ghosts need to get together for a big ol Ghost Party. As for Jack and Ashi, it does seem like it's less a master/student relationship and more two equals. I'll let your draw your own conclusions on where that's going. This episode felt like it was moving a lot of pieces around, and did so very quickly. I get why but hope the next episode has something of a narrower focus, primarily on the Ashi/Jack dynamic.

Today...Aku tries to get his groove back.

Why the hell do you have to do that?

Part II of The Get Down. Good? Yes. Better than Stranger Things? Hell no.

He runs headfirst at bad guys with blades and has 70's anime sideburns. That whole "angry homicidal pilot" look despite being a teenager, like Kouji Kabuto or the Voltes V pilots.

What, because the Tumblr interpretation of Keith was completely wrong? Keith is a throwback to uber manly super robot pilots of the 70's. Red meat eating, kinda homicidal ones,

I ain't touching that. But KLK aired...and was successful.

You are salty as fuck over the fact that they got like...Triggers most hyped show for adults over a show for kids. Uber salty.

Bob Odenkirk is back for season 3 of the prequel/sequel to Breaking Bad. And Chuck is still an asshole.

Jack is killing it but everything else is getting killed.

Essentially. That and making the show adult could have gone very badly, either being gratuitous or being a kids show with a curse or two censored. This straddles the line very well, being adult but still being Jack.

...This never happened.

I'm down.

This show never ceases to amaze me in how blood and guts are added in but never coming off as excessive or unnecessary. It always adds to the story and characters. Also Ashi is gonna show up again soon I bet.

The Flesh! He's super strong...and super naked!

The former.
