So the rumor was true... Tartakovsky is bringing back Samurai Jack... This hits me right in the childhood, oh please let it be good.

When FS linked this to me i thought i was a joke, then saw it was on thier official YT Channel

This is fantastic news, and thank god that it is Tartakovsky doing it.  Only sad note will be the lack of Mako as Aku.

[Toki Zensekai 323]

Adult Swim though? Do they plan on making this edgier or something?

[AI-senpai 147]

I dunno, but like, even Toonami is on Adult Swim now :3

[LegendaryR'QA 40]

It was on Toonami originally so i'd figure it'd be on Adult Swim Toonami now

Well, time to add that to the things to watch in the future, man I hope it will be good.

When was it ever not good?

One example to prove my slight concern:

Teen Titans Go

But you are right, I shouldn't worry to much about it, it will most likely be great anyway.

I actually decided to research Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! and found out they were developed and produced by completely different people. Samurai Jack is going to be continued by the same people, so I don't think you have to worry too much.

[Light Landstrider 237]

That's great to hear, I guess that's the last of my concerns to be eliminated.

And now we wait.

I never watched Samurai Jack as a kid. Was it good?

 

And to the people that are going to say "You had no childhood" or something, please understand different people have different tastes.

It's not that you had no childhood, you were just living under a rock.

Anyway though:

You be the judge of what you think. :3

Teen Titans Go is based on a comedic comic series of the same name that was later turned into an animation. It's just a spinoff. :3

I didn't watch it that much, but as a kid I just watched whatever was on. Retrospectively, I do like it.

It's OK, I used to watch the odd episode when it was on cartoon network way back when but never truly followed it.

One major downside: It was Italian dubbed. In retrospect I feel like I would have watched it a lot more if it were in English, as the few episodes I did watch I remember really enjoying, as the story of a time traveling samurai that tries to get back to his time to kill the evil that destroyed his village and made him a time traveler in the first place is as wacky as it is amazing, allowing for so many good episode settings and stories, and I always enjoyed the occasional comedy aspects and epic battles.

Overall really looking forward to seeing what this next iteration will be like.

NOPE. I do not need this nostalgia right now. Nope, nope nope... Not looking.

Honestly? It was one of the best shows during Cartoon Network's prime back in the day. Hell, almost everything they aired back then was really good and I find myself re-watching some of those shows and start finding a lot of stuff I never noticed while watching it back then, all the 4'th wall breaks, the witty jokes, so much meta stuff and of course "you're too young to get it" stuff. Oh hell, the Nostalgia's here.. Dammit!

[Nightwing 27]

I don't expect it to be too similar to the original so I'm throwing those tinted nostalgia glasses away in hopes for something new

[Steamworks 95]

But I thought you hated time travel, Toki.

This makes me happy.

[Nightwing 27]

Also, pleeeease let there be an ending this cartoon, if it ends before we get a finale i'll be disappointed

[Light Landstrider 237]

@Yoko Hey if it's successful they will definitely make an ending, but there might be a few seasons in between, we never know.

[AI-senpai 147]

Let me reclarify that this is a new season, not a reboot, at least according to how Adult Swim put it.
