Zenigundam Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 For one, the dialogue is very limited. I forgot how few words are spoken during battles, and that happens basically every episode. And then there's the scenes when the emotions the creators are trying to make the viewers feel never fully materialize because the actual scenes are pieced together awkwardly. I can already see how season 5 is struggling to be more mature. It can't fully shed the comedy elements that were a staple of the original series, so no matter how much gory swordplay they throw in there, the lighthearted aspect of the episodes will always make people remember that this isn't exactly Basilisk or Ninja Scroll in terms of content. Season 5 rating thus far: 5/10 Quote
Zenigundam Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8 *chuckles dismissively* Top Gun, young boy, nobody uses an 8 point scale to rate the quality of TV shows. If I have to rate SJ on your imaginary 8 point scale, I'll have to give it a 4/8. Quote
Gyaos Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 The "show, don't tell" aspect is what I love most about Samurai Jack. Quote

Jman Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Ignoring Zeni, I'm kinda glad that the transition to adult isn't jarring but feels natural. Quote

Yes, it could have been done a lot worse, but they did it rather well. I guess it helps that they actually like the show and are willing to do good work for it. Quote
