Jack is back. It's time to ascend to a higher plane of animation.

Weeaboo, no more!

Since we don't have Adult Swim in Germany, the answer is no. And even if that were the case, the answer would be the same.

Never got much into Samurai Jack, but everyone talks so well about it that I'm inclined to give it a try.

New season looks awesome though.

Honestly? I hope they won't ruin this reboot. I have a really bad thoughts about it because of powerpuff girls and scooby doo reboot. I really liked Samurai Jack when I was a kid so I am hoping for positive result this time.

From the video Adult Swim posted it does not look that bad, however I will try my best not to hype myself too much. :/

The new PPG sucked because the only reason it was brought back was to sell toys. It didn't have the same people working on it at all. You could tell it was going to suck from like the first episode. Scooby Doo stuff is just a hit or miss scenario, they could just make another shitty one that's just part of the franchise or it could be pretty good like What's New Scooby Doo.

It's a fantastic show and I recommend to everyone just because it's Samurai Jack. But if you do want to try it, watch the first three episodes(they are all connected together and set-up the show while other episodes are pretty episodic.)
every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake

This actually brings back memories . Jack vs shinobi shadow warrior was one of my favorite episodes in samurai jack. I'm glad the series is back though . I hope i can give it a re-watch soon . If we can get more megas and Ed Edd'n Eddy, it would be good .

Episodic and comedic shows are generally not appealing to me; a rule that applies to the western show especially as they are mostly only episodic, and comedic.

I think it's highly unlikely this last season will be episodic (in the sense of disconnected).

The look is fine, but the animation quality is inexcusable. What's worse is the lack of feeling of impact with their every strike.

Except for Saitama in the bored mode, most of the characters can be called out for overdesign including Saitama in the "serious" mode.

"inexcusable"? What?
One fight is more intense than the whole first season of One punch man, I doubt it even needs an excuse.

What's worse is the lack of feeling of impact with their every strike.
Coming from someone that used One Punch Man as an example for great action that's rather hypocritical.

Intense? Sorry, but that's one of the last words I'd use to describe that fight with.

I don't even need to like One Punch Man as a series to still enjoys its action scenes. That alone makes it action better than most other shows. What I saw of this Samurai Jack combat scene didn't impress me on any level. What exactly was I hypocritical about?

You're confusing artwork with design, because Saitama's design doesn't change between bored and serious mode. Also, a lot of its characters are rather simple designed, it's just the art that makes it look very detailed at times.

No problem, I was the one to describe it as such.

I was referring to "lack of feeling of impact with their every strike" but I misinterpreted it as emotional impact when you likely are referring to physical impact. While One Punch Man does that quite well (if this is the case then I was wrong in calling your comment hypocritical), this fight scene does have 2 moments where the impact is felt more, when the shinobi falls down and at the final strike. Also I don't think it's a lack of impact but rather a stylistic choice, everything is build-up until the final moment where I did feel the impact.

The only thing that could get me back to watching anything made in USA is a second season of Firefly.

Or maybe that upcoming Star Trek series will be good.

Still, wouldn't stop watching anime as I'm not a goldfish and can have multiple outlets for entertainment.

Also, cartoon action has always been shit 99% of the time, doesn't matter where it comes from.

Any one show can't single-handedly remove my interest (and the interest of many others) in an entire medium.
The only shows that comes even remotely close would be Star Trek, Doctor Who, and MLP:FiM. The first two based on decades of backlog and massive universes (Especially in the case of Star Trek), the latter only due to fan-driven content (The expansive FOE universe and the sheer amount of music being the most significant examples). But the amount of different stories and lores will always bring me back to anime.
Comparing the quality of any one show versus an entire medium is a case where the quantity of several hundred is always going to crush the quality of one. The only way this wouldn't happen is if the medium is relatively new.
