Apparently Samurai Jack panel started at the Annecy festival 45 minutes ago. Didn't see a thread.
When does the renewal come to us?

i still need to get through marathoning the whole show, I have it on the DVR.
Somebody twitted that the new season will have 10 episodes.
>>83794703
Jesus /co/ stopped caring about this fast
>>83794703
Hnnnnnng......That's better be blood and not oil
>>83794992
Maybe they are waiting for more infos. There isn't much to talk about except for this pic >>83794703
>>83794992

neets are asleep
stream's apparently nonexistent and nobody ITT seems to be there
what else
>>83794703
>>83794992
Oh fuck off, what is there to care about here, we're all differing to Gennedy on plot elements, and this is fucking nothing, no stream, no info
How can we know this won't be as gutted as the powerpuffs were?
GIVE ME SOMETHING, YOU INGRATEFUL BASTARDS
>>83795252
Gennedy is running it and it's airing on Adult Swim? Keep up son
>>83795252
It, unlike nuPPG, has key figures from the original still behind it, most importantly Genndy. It's also being made for Toonami which gives them greater freedom than CN did.
>>83794992
If you should me a trailer, I'd go nuts.
There's literally nothing atm other than >>83794703
Any news?
From a bunch of tweets I've found:
>It's official #SamuraiJack first look, darker, better, for adults but still funny ! @ Annecy https://www.instagram.com/p/BGrM4MixdFL/
>The new season is taking place 50 years after the original series and delves into the toll its taken on Jack #SamuraiJack #annecy2016
>#SamuraiJack is still here and there but doesn't act. Which puts Aku in a "blased"-ness, he's all bored and kill for fun #AnnecyFestival
>#SamuraiJack 10 episodes, same format. No indications on "when" he'll be aired on @adultswim but Tartakovski says "Soon" !

>>83795597

Also, sticky please.
>>83795597
>Jack has a gun now

>>83795597
Not sure how to feel about Jack getting a samurai armor.
The beard looks cool on him though.
>>83795597
>50 years
holy fuck
>>83795657
>No trailer?
No, and don't expect any of the footage that was shown to be released.
https://twitter.com/RealGoodLiars/status/743079589564579840
>Just saw a preview of the new series of #SamuraiJack. We're sworn to secrecy but holy crap IT LOOKS AMAZING
>>83795720
Not officially, but I wouldn't be surprised if an off-screen recorded footage pops off on Youtube.
>>83795597
>50 years after
So that makes Jack around 60 years old?
>>83795740
More like around 70. He was in his twenties.
>>83795720
Pls leak
>>83795740
Do you think Jack was 10? He's probably younger than he acted due to the enormity of the task he's been given, but I'd think he was at least 18.
>>83795715
How old was he in the original series? early twenties? At best this jack is 60+ years old.
Are we getting 'get off my lawn you punks' Jack?
>>83795597
Any news about Aku's new VA (if he gets a voice in the new season)?
>>83795807
>(if he gets a voice in the new season)
He does.
http://www.adultswim.com/misc/time-rift-secrets/samurai-jack.html
>>83795597
Jesus, 50? Jack's a geezer now. I wonder what happened to his sword.
>>83795597
>#SamuraiJack is still here and there but doesn't act. Which puts Aku in a "blased"-ness, he's all bored and kill for fun #AnnecyFestival
Most interesting tweet, changes the whole dynamic of the show. I hope Aku's still funny and doesn't go full Dominator or anything.
>>83795788
No, we're getting gunslinging, biker, lost-all-hope Jack.
>>83795758
We'd better get 80 year old Scotsman then
>>83795833
Any confirmation on who? Obviously that's not his voice, just a storyboard being described. Is it the same guy who filled in for Iroh in Avatar?
>>83795833
that's gennedy talking over
>>83795783
I meant 70.
>>83795758
Geeeez struggling for decades long just to get back to the past. Feels like he isn't meant to go back ever and only fix what is in the future.
>>83795889
It's just proof he'll be talking in the new series. Obviously it's just Genndy talking over a storyboard there.
>>83795888
Nope, we know nothing yet.
>>83795874
>Punished Jack
>>83795881
>implying the series won't open with Jack observing his funeral from afar
>>83795597
Kinda sounds like they will be starting the series near or somewhere close to the end of the comic.I mean, the comic does end with older/beard jack and the scotsman bulding an army and taking on aku's fortress.
>>83795979
The comic has been said to be non-canon. They're not starting anywhere within it. Why should Genndy be beholden to something to he didn't write?
>>83795597
Any other news about it? For example, did they talk about the Scotsman or other returning characters?
>>83795998
I didn't know that. Well, both that its not canon and that Genndy didn't work on it.
Either way, thats pretty good news. I'm glad that genndy is around too.
>>83796036
No, that's all I've found.
>>83796047
Yeah, the IDW comics were made without any real input from Genndy, but you can tell the team behind them loved the series. Genndy did do some cover art for them, I think.
Oh, for fuck's sake! It's been a few hours already, where's the fucking video recording?
I CANNOT BELIEVE NOTHING FROM THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION HAS LEAKED
>>83796170
What? Anon, there are literally two pictures from the presentation in >>83795597 and >>83795614
>>83796170
Truly this is the evil of Aku
>>83796086
>>83796047

That's the kinda shit I like to hear. They're going in hard on this.
I just hope they have Jack still be Jack, and not ow the edge Jack just for the sake of it.
>>83796430
One of the tweets outright says that Jack is wearing armor now, and is missing his katanna. Also, it matches EXACTLY the armor Jack wears in the trailer and the armor Jack is wearing in this pic (you can even see the gun holster). >>83795614
With 50 years passing and Jack no longer having his sword, plus sounding like he's clearly become a rougher character, I don't think it's that odd he'd take to using a gun.

I really hope they keep the old music for the intro though, or at least a remix of it or something. I dunno but It was pretty iconic so bringing it back somehow would be neat

So, five hour movie. This means 10 eps of jack and sayonara? No more Samurai Jack?
>>83797103
Yep.
>>83797103
Yes. This is the end of the story. No need to drag things out any further and leave things unresolved if it gets cancelled again.
>>83797103
Weell seeing how good was the last miniseries we gotOTGWIt makes me feel like it's going to be for the best
>>83797103
Kinda feel bad about it, I thought it'll get at least 2 more seasons.
>>83797192
how can you feel bad about a 3.5 hour movie that fans have been begging for for years
I think Jack has potential for many, many interesting episodes, that is what I meant.
>>83797335
And it's already had many, many interesting episodes. Most people just want to see the end of the story now.
>>83794703
Looks good.
And of course
http://www.adultswim.com/misc/time-rift-secrets/samurai-jack.html
>>83794703
Am I the only one who didn't want blood, gore and guts? I know it was CN limitation, but I actually like the robot deaths.
How do you think it'll do in ratings? I'll feel bad if literally no one watches it.
Who is doing the soundtrack?
>>83798174
DBZ Kai pulls in good ratings for nostalgia and that's not exactly new material. It'll bring in good numbers each week, especially if it gets the 11:30 slot, which is likely.
>>83798268
The guy who did music for Sym-Bionic Titan afaik
>>83798313
I was hoping for James L. Venable, oh well
>>83798431
It's weird though. Venable recently did some music for CN. I guess it was for that PPG special Dance Pantsed.
Any leaks yet?
>50 Years after the original series
>Jack doesn't seem to have aged 50 years, maybe more like 2-5
Oh shit, guys.
What if the episode where Jack learns to Jump Good is canonically the last episode of the original series, but it's revealed that the portal Aku was dangling in front of him was actually a portal FURTHER into the future, just in case he made it through? Then, that bitter taste of failure after what seemed like his final victory began the process of Jack becoming more jaded about his quest over time, hence the darker tone.
>>83798113
Same here, I always liked the robo deaths for some reason.
>>83794703
>>83795597
>>83795614
I'm liking what I see so far. 50 years of fighting have surely changed Jack and Aku.
Ten episodes should be enough to close the story
>Give Genndy 10 episodes to make epic conclusion.
>He plans out 10 episodes.
>The Genndy curse only lets hims actually produce 5.
>Samurai Jack remains unfinished.
>>83798113
Same. As long as it doesn't go overboard, I'm fine with it though
>>83798274
>DBZ Kai pulls it good ratings
Yea, when it has 3 hours of Seth shit leading up to it. There has been a notable drop the past 2 weeks with the Seth cut down
>>83798113
Knowing it was being made for AS Toonami almost guaranteed the robo censorship would be taken out. It's whatever to me, as long as it's not overdone just because they can
>>83798274
I wouldn't count on it, both AS and Demarco are known for retarded scheduling, it wouldn't surprise me if they keep DBZ as the lead under some notion that it pulls extra viewers for Jack at midnight. It won't, but they tend to do stupid things like that.
>>83798174
I worry about it too, whether you like it not, most people tuning in to Toonami are tuning in for anime, they won't be interested in a western show, especially one that started out as a Y7 kids show. AS is going to advertise heavily if they want success here.
Also, it seems that high effort and high cost AS originals are prone to failure, let's hope Jack is one of the few who break that mould
>>83795871
See
>>83797994
Looks like there isn't much to worry about.
This feeling of anticipation is killing me.
>>83796819
I've seen lots of sneaked footage from past comic cons, but can anyone else think of a private recording snuck out of Annecy? Maybe that kind of thing doesn't happen as much there.

I was so fucking angry. I waited through that whole embarrassing shitshow, and FUCKING NOTHING
>motorcycle

Nope, I'm out. If I ignore it then I can't be disappointed.
If Jack is an edgelord now I'm gonna be fucking mad.
>>83803312
Actually apparently Aku will be very bored after not having Jack fighting him for a long time.
Which raises the question of what he was doing to keep himself occupied in the thousand odd years between sending Jack to the future. Was he just waiting for Jack then?

>>83804385
Except he clearly didn't
Episodes like X-J mention that Aku was still struggling to take the whole planet by the time robots were a thing
Plus the fact that Jack was able to travel the world for at least a decade while training without having any apparent trouble from Aku
>>83804385
No, when Jack was sent to the future Aku didn't even have the whole of Japan. One episode explained he was having a lot of trouble conquering, the his massive army of big scary robots that came later helped move things along smoothly.
>>83794703
>Jack is finally back
feels good

Some of these news are making me worried, especially 50 years, but I'll just trust based Gendy.
I wonder if we will see pic related.
>>83794703
Finally, Samurai Jack has blood. Here's to hoping they don't go overboard with it
ANY ACTUAL LEAKS YET
The Scotsman needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine

>@PinoJon Same for me ! I'll do a video soon to wrap up every drawings and infos we've had about #SamuraiJack
>>83804473
No.
They were rebels. Aku was fighting the resistence to his rule, not conquering anything.
>>83804482
>No, when Jack was sent to the future Aku didn't even have the whole of Japan. One episode explained he was having a lot of trouble conquering, the his massive army of big scary robots that came later helped move things along smoothly.
Holly shit guys, no.
He had already conquered the world. For fucks sake, there is an episode with a flashback of him conquering norte lands.
Those robots were for his personal army, to retaliate any other enemy that might appear, but mainly internal oposition. The resistence on the episode is pretty evident to be on his own City.
![large[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/nEn0KMs.jpg "large[1].jpg")
Dunno if this is actually from Samurai Jack or not, as it sounds like they only showed storyboards, but Genndy's there.
>>83806692
It is.
>>83806692
It's a model sheet

>Sudden rise in lewd fanart
Thank you based Genndy
>>83798113
This.
>>83806979sauce
Predictions?
After 50 years of trying and failing to destroy Aku or return to the past, Jack is starting to feel the wear of old age. He can no longer perform the superhuman physical feats that he used to. As such, close range combat has become too dangerous, forcing him to abandon his sword.
>>83807023

>>83807051
>didn't age
What? Why?
Did he do what apparently everyone in the future has done, and got robotic enhancements?
Did Aku curse him so that he can always have the entertainment of watching Jack fail?
>>83807207
I'm willing to bet Aku flung him even further into the future
>>83807213
Now that you say that, it seems like the obvious choice.
>>83805336
Hope we get to see a round 2 against Guardian
>>83807241
My theory about this plot is that Aku somehow wound up owning the sword and flung Samurai Jack 50 years into the future. The plot of Season 5 is probably gonna be an aged Jack, 50 years further into the future, rallying up the rebellion, which was crushed in the story reel, to put an end to Aku once and for all. Basically, Season 5 is gonna be Jack's quest to reunite all of the characters from 1-4.
>>83807148
Fucking patethic.
Want to shot who made this. Gay people should be beringela out of 4chan.
>>83794703
>blood
They really did it.
>>83807278
>Basically, Season 5 is gonna be Jack's quest to reunite all of the characters from 1-4.
Are you getting this from the comic? Because, again, that's non-canon and not indictive at all of what Genndy's doing. If it's 50 years in the future, Jack's not going to be able to unite all of those characters.
Also, I don't think this was just Aku flinging Jack even further into the future, as one of the tweets mentions that Jack isn't even doing anything to stop Aku now. He's lost all hope--and living through 50 years of failure would be a much stronger explanation for that than just getting flung again.
>>83807278
>tfw still somewhat youngish Jack meets Old Scotsman
>Old Scotsman still shoots the shit with Jack busting his balls with lengthy insults
>ep they reunite Old Scotsman passes away by the end of it but not before urging Jack on (complete with more lengthy insults as he was known to do)
>Jack sheds tears as the ep ends while the others nearby bow their heads
>>83807383
I'm not getting it from the comic, the comic ended on that note, kinda, but I think if there was to be a plot for a 5th season, that could tie together everything everyone loved about 1-4, a "getting the band back together" plot would probably be the best thing they could do. I'm more or less getting this from what we've seen of Season 5 so far. We've seen a rebellion attacking Aku (story reel), 50 years have passed, and Jack is still young, and his katana is missing.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>83806692
dat Watchmen reference
>>83798113
Over realistic gore, I won't go for, but if they know what they're doing (and I have no reason to beleive they don't), I don't see a diff between the impact fo the robot deaths and potential humans.
Potential; remember that humans aren't the only organisms with red blood.
>>83808301
I was hoping it would go the "more room for emotional depth, higher stakes, more realistic battle damage" rought, not a "dark and edgy shadow the hedgehog" kind of thing. I'm still holding out some hope for it though.
>>83808442
We are getting Ronin with bikes and Aku

So who's voicing Aku?
>>83808775
your mum
>>83795614
Yeah imma need this font
I'm pretty sure some of these worry us because it seems disrespectful to the focus the show originally had, which is what made it so respectable and good. Even I'm fairly worried.
On the other hand these are just plot points, and nothing more. Hopefully Genndy hasn't lost his touch and knows what he's doing, since this darker approach after all doesn't completely overshadow what it is everyone liked about Samurai Jack. Hopefully it can still come out a respectable result with just as much atmosphere without ruining characterization or otherwise.
>>83795769

>>83809219
Id prefer 4 more seasons with even better quality than the older ones.

All of Jack's friends and allies rejoin him in the last episode and they all gangrape Aku.

Why do people always want more, instead of a satisfying ending. It's always worse to see a series' quality degrade due to unnecessarily milking it for all its worth
Quality > Quantity
When I wake up, I want to see some leaked footages and I want them fresh

Remember when Jack killed 4 of the best bounty hunters in the world in like 10 seconds and walked away like a badass motherfucker?

I have a feeling this will become the norm for the new series.

How do you make them higher exactly? Have Aku threaten to destroy everything for shits and giggles with some doomsday device?

I think not having his sword anymore could do that to him too.

Because that would ruin Jack's sex appeal.

Are we sure it's not just because he's asian?

I hope not.

He did? What did he do in them? I kinda wish we saw an episode of Jack training him to be a proper samurai.
>>83807207
Guessing the latter.
If you think about it, there's no logical reason Aku shouldn't have killed Jack yet. The implication of that is that he might be keeping Jack alive ON PURPOSE.
Aku seems to have the ability to grant immortality to people for the purpose of prolonging their punishment. The Lava Viking was magically sealed in a stone by Aku and thrust into a mountain, then by force of will managed to manipulate that magic and his prison over thousands of years to make his lava body. When the magic was destroyed by Jack's sword, the viking aged rapidly and died.
After betraying Jack through Ikra, Aku taunts Jack "Your time on this miserable Aku-infested land continues"
In episode 30, Aku DOES get the sword from Jack, and intends to destroy it, and even though the better option would have been to destroy it first and kill Jack later, Aku wants poetic justice. He feels if he must kill Jack, it should be a death that will satisfy his need for vengeance. By the end of the episode he learns that the sword can't hurt Jack, so that plan's out the window. If it can't be sweet irony, why even bother killing him at all?
So I'm thinking in the new series, Aku has the sword again and doesn't think Jack will ever be able to get it back. He has cursed the samurai to make him immortal, dooming him to forever wander the miserable Aku-infested land. The samurai will spend eternity in the future he hates, living in the world that exists the way it does because of his failure, knowing that even if he does make it into the past, he wouldn't be able to kill Aku without the sword, and unable to ever see his family again because he cannot die. It is much crueler, and more Aku's style.
Of course, in the end, this is going to come back and bite Aku in the ass when Jack inevitably gets his sword back and taunts Aku about how he can't die.

Does that mean shirtless scenes still confirmed for every episode?
>>83813295

JACK IS IMMORTAL CONFIRMED
Will they rerun the old series before kicking off the premier of the new series?
>>83813281
I like it.
>>83813889
They already did.

"You can't use it yet, Samurai Jack......
not yet..."
How can they possibly compete with the last episode?
Who can replace Mako?

>>83814224
Honestly I'm hoping they do something like Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and have Aku show up in a different form, voiced by someone new, each episode.
It probably won't happen but I think something along those lines would be the best solution.

There's nothing stopping them from making new episodes set during the original run
