There has been a lot of hype for the return of Samurai Jack, and there were remarks by some that it is better than any anime out there. But I think it is undeniable that Kemono no Souja Erin (another anime mainly targeted for young audience), obliterate Samurai Jack in every way. Based on a novel written by an anthropologist, it is a very intelligent anime enjoyable for a person of any age group, which at the same time do not forget its main audience, the children. It is a complex tale told in ghibli-esque style, with much symbolism and serious themes explored Those who havent seen the anime should check out its reviews, they are very well written Quote from Archaeon: "This show has pretty much everything one could want from a series: politics, love, betrayal, assasination, history, religion, war, friendship, joy, sadness, terror, a touch of mysticism, and more besides." |

Do you have a source for the novel being a children's novel? It doesn't seem like something particularly interesting for kids. I probably wouldn't have liked it before I was 20. To me it's one of these shows that have no age-based demographic. A quick research didn't get me anywhere, they just called it a novel and not a childrens novel. But yeah, it is an amazing and underappreciated anime. Idk about Samurai Jack tho since I haven't seen it. |
I probably regret this post by now. |

I never knew there were so many people eager to call others wrong or retarded when they dont even recognize a hyperbole. For your information Samurai Jack is the best shit eva. Ill try that Kemono ghibli stuff out some day. But seriously Samurai Jack IS better than most anime, not the vast majority but definitely above average. |

Okay... thx for sharing your opinion. It doesn't mean it's right though. I think Erin is a really underwatched and underappreciated show, but it can't really touch Samurai Jack. The stylistic choices and visuals alone put Jack on another level. Also you have to consider the medium. Anime is oversaturated with these types of dramatic sob stories with female leads. Samurai Jack is extremely unique among western T.V. |

But yeah, it is an amazing and underappreciated anime. Idk about Samurai Jack tho since I haven't seen it. I grew up watching it, along with other children in Japan (part of my childhood was spent in Japan), and most children really liked it. I think I was around 10 at the time. Children are not dumb, and can understand almost any theme presented to them (as long as nothing sexual). I really cant understand why children are underestimated like that in west, judging from the entertainment targeted to them.. The original novel isnt targeted to children, but the anime seem to be, as is apparent from its art style. Another quote from Archaeon: "the show is very clearly labelled and marketed as a children's series" |

In the end they are both animation and i like them, a flaw of Erin is the comic relief characters. God they are freaking annoying. I would give Samurai Jack the same score i gave to Erin. |

I have yet to see Jack, but Erin is certainly an excellent show. Easily one of my favorite anime and I was even able to write a "review" on it. I see it as far more than a simple coming of age story, a tale of far more, encompassing existentialism, the will to live, inspiring change, shattering codes, boundaries, and obtaining free will. |

I did not say samurai jack is inferior because 'it is still a cartoon', and instead I have actually seen some episodes of Samurai Jack |

well samurai jack is the most one dimensional character ever. but he is still more likeable than most anime mc. that show is basically a CN made battle shonen. and while it cant touch shows like fairy tail, hxh, gb, rk etc, jack is still a better mc than most battle harem, echhi romcom, nose bleed never getting laid tsunderefags, so yes samurai jack is[the old one was] better than many anime. but its not better than all anime. btw @op why the fuck are you comparing a sad lil girly story with a violent edgy slasher show? whats next? compare southpark or someother shit like that to moe shows? |

Its not really Jack as a character that is the strength of the show, but the unique visual style. The backgrounds and the environments of the show are what give it character. There is a great deal of variety in the type of atmosphere and the tone of the episodes evoke. You never really know what to expect when you watch a new episode. It is very minimalist and optimal not just in it's dialogue but also the visuals. It's hard to explain if you haven't even bothered to finish the show. Erin is a good show though and more people need to watch it. I just don't feel like it is breaking any barriers or doing anything particularly new or innovative. It is pretty much a World Masterpiece Theater anime done in the late 2000's. Plus those thief brothers were awful character and added absolutely nothing to the series. |

Here's my take on it. The style is certainly unique, but it is still a huge stretch to call it anything extraordinary. You can easily find anime with the same thing done just as well. Erin is unlike any other show aimed at children, so it really is breaking many barriers, especially with the deep themes it explore. It is truly a masterpiece, showing life,people and society from all kind of perspectives. You are right about the thief brothers though. They were added in anime to lighten the tone and make the story more enjoyable for children, but from adult perspective, they really werent needed in the anime |
