I will be super damn surprised and change my cull:square to neonivek:rightness:100!

[Comrade P.]

So I watched Sym-Bionic Titan - there are only 20 episodes. I saw Genndy's name in the opening credits and got right in. It was a pretty good show, shame CN ditched it (apparently).

The fights are superb. Among the best animated fights I've seen, really. Delightfully detailed without the usual cartoon-ish blur of hands and clouds of dust. They also blended CG and 2D pretty well.

It was fantastic and gave us hope it would get more AND that we'd get more Jack.

[Radio Controlled]

Just gonna copy this here 'cause I'm lazy:

Any of you keeping up with the new samurai jack episodes?
Ya enjoying this most recent one?
Cause I am.

Yeah, following along as it airs. It's pretty damn good, though for people who plan to binge watch it later I'd seriously advise to avoid any spoilers whatsoever (the comments above might already be a little risqué). The stakes are higher this season and it's no holds barred, so don't expect things to just revert to status quo at the end of each episode like in the original show.

I like how this episode showed how Jack operates once he got over his mental block/issues involving killing people. Those daughters of Aku might've been trained from birth, but Jack literally has more than half a century worth of experience fighting assassins, armies and killers, be they robots, humans or supernatural. This, combined with the fact the they didn't have the element of surprise anymore (Jack did, if anything) and that our hero clearly knew the terrain (he knew exactly where to go to force them into 1 on 1 combat) ended up in him vastly outclassing them.

I don't think we've seen the last of them yet, but I didn't expect them to go here on episode 3 already. This show keeps surprising me, in a good way.

[Max™]

Yeah, I literally blurted out "oh shit" reflexively several times last night watching that.

Jack sure falls to his death more often than usual so far in this season.

[Max™]

Part of jump good is fall good, really good, even very big fall!

[Comrade P.]

Jump good is clearly OP.

Also, while we're remembering the oldies, Jack apparently got along with footwear different from his wooden sandals - he wore those heavy armored boots, after all, despite previous ineptitude with them.

[Max™]

50 years is a long time.

Also, man, those were brutal deaths, like "ultrastrong df adventurer against civilians" brutal.

But we literally saw all seven daughters being born in s05e01. Like, from a single womb they came. That'd make them... septiplets?

Now, if that was one of the "easter eggs" Genndy has had put in the show for those who are familiar with his other works, as he said he did in season 5 launch Q&A, that'd be a good one.

[Max™]

Teenage years can be difficult, haven't we all gone through that sort of phase at some point in our lives?

It was a joke dude.

Goddamit why do I fail to register those.
My bad.

Spoiler: Look what I found (SJ S05E03 spoiler) (click to show/hide)

I audibly chuckled at some of those.
