Samurai Jack is a very cool show. I’m so impressed by the artistic skill needed to create every aspect of the show that I want to create a shrine to Genndy Tartakovsky, where I’ll burn Crayola Candles and sacrifice bootleg copies of PhotoShop in the hopes of gaining his favor. Everything from the character design to the sound effects to the voice acting is phenomenal. Hell, even the backgrounds are more impressive than almost any other cartoon I’ve seen lately. In it’s own way, Samurai Jack impresses me more than Final Fantasy or Shrek did when I saw them in the theater.
Since it impressed me so much I decided to create a desktop wallpaper design that would commemorate my induction into the Samurai Jack Loser Fan Club of the Greater North Eastern Section of The Land Mass Known as ‘Merica. The wallpaper can be found here. If you’ll look to the right of your screen there’s a good chance you’ll see a brand new link in the ‘Mighty Media’ column called coincidentally enough, Wallpaper. It is my plan to add new wallpaper to my site every month, but when you’re busy like I am it’s hard to make the time for these fun little side projects. And just in case you’re wondering, whether I’m busy or not, I can always find a good reason not to do something. It doesn’t even matter if it’s something I want to do, I’ll still find some way to not do it.
It’s a skill I’ve been developing since I was but a wee child and I’ve gotten good at it. Very Good.
As impressive as the visual work on “Samurai Jack” is, I was thinking that I might not actually like the content of the show. I watched the movie and there were a lot of silences. However, after watching the half hour show on Monday, I thought it was really cool. I can’t wait to see it again!
Samurai Jack is simply put, the best cartoon since Eek the Cat. The level of detail, adult humor, and depth of vision all combine to make the 18 minutes of actual programming seem like 3 and a half. The fluidity of motion, reminiscent of Japanese Anime, enhances the effect, and delivery of the plotline. I wish more cartoons were crafted with such attention to detail.

Doesnt samurai jack pose a striking resembles to Mifune? The character from Akira Kursawa samurai flicks. If you like samurai jack you will like Akira Kurosawa movies, its got its silences and also a lot of the movies are modeled after shakespear stories.
