Remember as a kid where I live they used to air Samurai Jack pretty late. So, my first time staying up at night and seeing this I was simply blown away. Ehhh, late night felt like a completely different world as a kid. Childhood is something really special.
The genius of this show is using futuristic setting so that he wont be fighting real people or monsters, he will fight robots so that there's no blood involved even in sword fights
Long ago in a distant land, I, Cartoon Network, the cancellation master of darkness unleashed an unspeakable cancellations on good shows but a foolish show with a brilliant plot stepped forth to oppose me CLANG (Season 1) SLASH (Season 2) CLANK (Season 3) Before the final blow (Season 4) was struck, I tore open a hiatus in time, and flung him into the future, where my evil is law now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future of that is Cartoon Network!
The concept to send you hero in a future paradox where he never existed and the villan already became the dominant force in the world for eons is such a godanm genius concept. I especially adore it's cinematography, it had alot to say, sometimes without uttering a single word or having to "hook" the audience from the very first second. Genndy Tartakovsky is just built different.
Not trying to make a criticism as I'm still planning to watch this show. But the premise of "hero travels to the future that is already taken down" is nothing new or genius. Many forms of media did that before
despite the show technically being episodic it still builds on the narrative that Jack needs to find a way back, yet Jack doesn't want to leave people suffering at the hands of Aku so refuses the opportunities to go back to help them.
@@Ermonacodimontagna Truth be told almost nothing is ever original, its inspired and borrowed by something else. The real magic is making it work so well it feels like a fresh concept. In reality it's a "fish out of water" story stereotype however its im its execution where it really shines. The sky is dominated by unatural hues, futuristic buildings all in the shape of triangle spikes surround the horrizon. Jack is in a constant manhunt by mercenaries and assasins. I feel like the two strongest assets if the show is the cinematography doing the talking and the environment pieces. It truly feels like Earth was tranformed into this unrecogizable alien like planet.
This, for me, was one of those “serious” cartoon watching experiences. It came on late at night, and watching it felt like I couldn’t do any BUT watch it. No cleaning, no getting distracted. Just sit and watch. It was far above so many other cartoons. It also reminds me of the hour before I could go online because we had dial up.
Totally agree with you. I remember this show aired sometime between 2001-2002 in india . Back the Cartoon Network had it’s A game with shows like Johnny Quest and also Batman of the Future
@@The_Dragon_Tiamat it took me till last year to figure it out! I was aware of what the singer was saying, I just couldn't hear the 'Samurai Jack 'part.
Greg Baldwin does a good job emulating Mako, but Makos accent and cadence is just so unique that it can't be replicated. The characters just don't feel the same without Mako, and I think that's a testament to Mako's ability.
I worked at a summer camp one summer and used to tell all the kids in the bunk room bedtime stories before they went to bed, there favorite story was samurai jack and they were all excited to watch the show when they all went home. They used to ask so many questions about it, about the Scotsman, aku, and how jack beat aku. Always a good memory ill have.
I'm a later generation, I watched this on CN when I was 12-14 years old. I am so glad this was a part of my life, and that I had the chance to rewatch the entire show later in life and truly appriciate it.
@@antoniobarusic876 Wait what? I used to watch the show when i was 5 and im 25 now. They stopped sending the show on CN in like 2004, well atleast in my country.
I’m a later gen wtf does that even mean lol. This originally Aired within your lifetime. How did you even watch this that old it wasn’t even airing by then. It stopped in like 2005. Are you sure you didn’t watch this in 2005 or something. The show biggest age class watching this at the time were 2 to 11 according to the website statistics on Cartoon Network.
Of all the kids shows I had to sit through with my children, this was one my favorites. Even the theme song was on point. If they could've had Jack assassinate Elmo and Caillou, I could die happy.
i remember i used to stay up at 12 on a school night to watch this and i always thought that staying up that late was really cool because everybodyelse had a bed time, thoes were the days man.
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape shifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future where my evil is law. Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku! (2x) Gotta get back Back to the past Samurai Jack (watch out) Gotta get back Back to the past Samurai Jack (Jack Jack Jack)
Rest in peace, Cartoon Network. Once a juggernaut of beloved masterpieces, today you are nothing but a sad memory. Cheers to all of us who grew up in the times of Cartoon Network. Better times. Greater times.
Honestly, there are tears for Jack on his fate. A broken samurai who wants to save the past of his people with just a mere sword, wherein the future conditions are adverse and not favorable for him, still, he fights for people where several occasions he misses death. The pain of a samurai is great. Thanks to the creators of this cartoon. I miss those golden days.
For me, this is the pinnacle of TV animation....yes, above ALL anime. It was already up there on the strength of the first 4 seasons alone, it just needed a good conclusion. The final season was utterly brilliant and elevated the show while bringing it to a beautiful conclusion.
Bruh I remember the good times I had when I was a kid every night this show would come on boomerang before it changed and I would always watch it from beginning to end, I even pretended to be samurai jack sword fighting 🤺 and dancing to to his theme good times man good times.
I like how they did the scenes where he kills enemies or "living" creatures. Every time (before the last season) he sliced someone they ended up being just robots... but we all knew they weren't one but were changed to robots to seem more family/kid friendly.
This is the beautiful story, that actually teaches you something about real life, I've become 33 years old, and this cartoon will stay in my memory forever!! One day if I have kids this is what we will watch together....
Samurai Jack is such a great example of the promise of what 21st Century ORIGINAL storytelling could have been. It's a simple concept, minimalist in a narrative sense, heavy on visuals and audio-visual artistry. The concept was a perfect way to make a literal "Jack of all trades" type of show. Almost every time of major genre cinema of the 20 century was explored and revisited here, recaptured in a new package. Samurai films, martial arts, epic fantasy, whimsical fantasy, cartoons, anime, westerns, cyberpunk, crime, action, gunplay, horror of various variety including survival thriller, haunted house, etc and they even touch on historical sword and sandal epics. They had an episode that was 300 5 years before that film came out. Samurai Jack had it all and the final season continued and concluded that amazing legacy.
21 century storytelling still lived up to those standards. Not always. But when it did it did. Look at gravity falls, spiderverse, infinity train, over the garden wall, adventure time.
imagine if Tartakovsky wasn’t restricted by one episode format from the very beginning and gave us one whole, complete story just like ATLA. Could have been the best western cartoon
This show was only on TV around noon when I was a kid, so the only time I watched it was when I had to stay home from school for being sick. Still gives me an uncanny fever dream like vibe, I can't explain it.
When i was ten, i had leukemia and i got stuck in the hospital alot, so me and my dad used to watch the toonami block together to help the night go faster. I discovered samurai jack and we would watch it every weekend together while we made jokes at eachother, those were the days.
man my childhood... this hits me so deep everytime i watch this it just has a special place in my heart too sad at some point they stopped airing it on cartoon network planning on rewatching all the episodes
The reason why they stopped airing it back then was because the voice actor for the villain Aku died and finding a replacement for him eluded them until now. Hope this clears it up for you. Peace out!!!
I was born in '86, so I a lot of those shows weren't my thing but my friend and I never missed an episode of Samurai Jack. I think it's one of those shows that everyone, from little kids to adults can enjoy.
Remember every night Teen Titans would play from 11p-12a, then Samurai Jack started at midnight. I stayed up every night as a kid watching these 2 shows
I still remember every episode, man this was a Straight W, me and my dad use to watch every episode and this intro takes me back to the good ole days man this was such a legendary Show
This show was my childhood, man. I love all of it, the music, the characters, the scenery especially. I recently rewatched the whole show twice. No regrets.
When I was a kid I didn't understand English and there were no subtitles. Yet it's made so masterfully and simple that the lessons every single episode had subconcsiously were imprinted in my little mind.Jack will always be a role model to be kind yet decisive and to never forget your roots and principles. Wat`shaaaa ;)
I just recited this intro, almost word for word to my girlfriend and I came to see how close I was. Haven’t watched the show in like 17 years but it is still in my head. They did a great job back in the day.
I was 5 years old when I watched this show till I was 8. Now am 19 and still Remember the intro. I mean.... The person who created this show a Genius. Very Creative.
I don't want to flood my youtube feed with cartoon network, but i remembered being a kid and binge watching samurai jack and just had to see the intro again
Even after all these years i still remember the intro word for word. I used to go say the words with Aku every time i watched samurai Jack when i was a kid
still remember staying up late and hearing this song, and remembering this show. as a child I thought the lyrics was saying "Samurai Jack, Samurai Jack, say Samurai Jack watch out".
Man I miss this show, the early 2000s was truly a golden era. You had everything great about the 80s, 90s and combined with all of the things that were created in the new millennium.

21 century storytelling still lived up to those standards. Not always. But when it did it did. Look at gravity falls, spiderverse, infinity train, over the garden wall, adventure time.
@codingkid0169 Agree to disagree, I find none of those to match the legacy of Samurai Jack
My childhood
Same
EVERYONE in the comments section has grown up with this show
Best intro to a movie /animation of all time , like you know the story has gotta be damn interesting when you hear it
truly a work of pure genius from genndy tartakovski
Who's here after the game trailer?
Main menu music
Yoo
What game trailer? There’s another game?!
@@Salman.khan786 yes for the ps4 console. Go check it out man
Gerson Paulo Just looked, OMG!! I am hyped!! Have I been under a rock this whole time?!
I remember for whatever reason this would air after 9pm on school nights it was always a treat to stay up and watch it
I still remember watching this show...brings back nostalgic memories.
imagine if Tartakovsky wasn’t restricted by one episode format from the very beginning and gave us one whole, complete story just like ATLA. Could have been the best western cartoon
Whos here from Coryxkenshin becuz this is my childhood, I believe everyone elses lol
DUDE YESSSS
Meee
This was definitely my childhood as well. Cory just reminded me abt it
Me
Yesirr
This show was only on TV around noon when I was a kid, so the only time I watched it was when I had to stay home from school for being sick. Still gives me an uncanny fever dream like vibe, I can't explain it.
When i was ten, i had leukemia and i got stuck in the hospital alot, so me and my dad used to watch the toonami block together to help the night go faster. I discovered samurai jack and we would watch it every weekend together while we made jokes at eachother, those were the days.
Are You Cured?? Thank GodIf You Are!!
This show was so incredible!,I will have to watch it again!
I really like this show a lot.
What a perfect opening. The menacing monologue, the crazy-ass twist, then the hard-ass beats.
I dearly miss the 2000s.
This was one of my favourite cartoon from childhood! Nostalgia!!
man my childhood...
this hits me so deep everytime i watch this
it just has a special place in my heart
too sad at some point they stopped airing it on cartoon network
planning on rewatching all the episodes
The reason why they stopped airing it back then was because the voice actor for the villain Aku died and finding a replacement for him eluded them until now.
Hope this clears it up for you.
Peace out!!!
@@jwppowers original can never be replaced thats a sad truth .......
anyone else born 1992-1998 who grew up with the original runs of the original ben10 and danny phantom and samurai jack and teen titans¿
I was born in '86, so I a lot of those shows weren't my thing but my friend and I never missed an episode of Samurai Jack. I think it's one of those shows that everyone, from little kids to adults can enjoy.
Nope I was born in '05 I used to watch this on Nicktoons and Toonami on Adult Swim
I'm was born in 1995 November 1st
Born 2001 grew up on them.
I was in 98 and watched them, more so Ben 10 and also grim adventures of billy and Mandy was another one of my favourites
Playing with the aspect ratio is an iconic creative choice of this sjow
Best quality intro I've seen, thanks for uploading!
You're welcome and thanks for viewing
Remember every night Teen Titans would play from 11p-12a, then Samurai Jack started at midnight. I stayed up every night as a kid watching these 2 shows
This show, more than anything, taught us to never give up, no matter how many times you fall. Means a lot coming from a lost teen like me right now :)
I still remember every episode, man this was a Straight W, me and my dad use to watch every episode and this intro takes me back to the good ole days man this was such a legendary Show
This show was my childhood, man. I love all of it, the music, the characters, the scenery especially. I recently rewatched the whole show twice. No regrets.
Lol never realised this was Iroh
IM SORRY WHAT
@@aliyarubinstein6587 Iroh and Aku had the same voice actor (:
yeah
I thought the exact same thing now that I’m older listening to it again. Same voice for sure
Same!
Who's here after the reveal boys
Jack is back boys
Me bro
If you sang along to this as a child you childhood was awesome.
When I was a kid I didn't understand English and there were no subtitles. Yet it's made so masterfully and simple that the lessons every single episode had subconcsiously were imprinted in my little mind.Jack will always be a role model to be kind yet decisive and to never forget your roots and principles. Wat`shaaaa ;)
0:43 the music begins
Wow. That many people have a dislike for the opening narration? This is sad.
@@TheInkPitOx well the song is pretty awesome must admit
Keith Pixton I think most people come for the badass music
I think the narration is much better! :)
DansGame you don't skip Aku
How many of you guys were here after Jack’s arrival in MultiVersus
Started watching samurai jack after multiverses trailer, I didn’t realize how peak samurai jack is until I gave it a watch
This intro is seriously the most badass I’ve seen for a cartoon, it’s timeless.
This was my favorite show when I was a kid!
Me too
Me too also
one of the greatest Cartoon Network shows ever and I still rewatch it
I just recited this intro, almost word for word to my girlfriend and I came to see how close I was. Haven’t watched the show in like 17 years but it is still in my head. They did a great job back in the day.
I love how much imagination and style the backgrounds of this show have.
I was 5 years old when I watched this show till I was 8. Now am 19 and still Remember the intro. I mean.... The person who created this show a Genius. Very Creative.
We 90's kids know how to be patient and wait for the next episode of every cartoon or tv show back then. Those are the good times.
RIP Mako. From an evil and vicious mastermind to a loving and caring uncle.

I don't want to flood my youtube feed with cartoon network, but i remembered being a kid and binge watching samurai jack and just had to see the intro again
Even after all these years i still remember the intro word for word. I used to go say the words with Aku every time i watched samurai Jack when i was a kid
still remember staying up late and hearing this song, and remembering this show. as a child I thought the lyrics was saying "Samurai Jack, Samurai Jack, say Samurai Jack watch out".
Man I miss this show, the early 2000s was truly a golden era. You had everything great about the 80s, 90s and combined with all of the things that were created in the new millennium.
