''Samurai Jack'' tells the story of an unnamed young prince from a kingdom set in [[feudal Japan]], whose father, the emperor of Japan, was given a magical katana from the three gods—[[Ra]], [[Rama]], and [[Odin]]—that he could and had used to defeat and imprison the supernatural shapeshifting [[demon]] Aku.

Samurai Jack is an American science fantasy action-adventure animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. The show is produced by Cartoon Network Studios. Tartakovsky conceived Samurai Jack after finishing his work on his first Cartoon Network original series, Dexter's Laboratory, which premiered in 1996. Samurai Jack took inspiration from Kung Fu, the 1972 televised drama starring David Carradine, as well as Tartakovsky's fascination with samurai culture and the Frank Miller comic series Ronin.

The titular character is an unnamed Japanese samurai prince who wields a mystic katana capable of cutting through virtually anything. He sets out to free his kingdom after it is taken over by an evil, shapeshifting demon lord known as Aku. The two engage in a fierce battle, but just as the prince is about to deal the final strike, Aku sends him forward in time to a dystopian future ruled by the tyrannical demon. Adopting the name "Jack" after being addressed as such by beings in this time period, he quests to travel back to his own time and defeat Aku before he can take over the world. Jack's search for a way back to his own time period transcends Aku's control, but Jack's efforts are largely in vain due to the way back to his home ending up just out of his reach.

Samurai Jack, originally airing for four seasons comprising thirteen episodes each, was broadcast from August 10, 2001, to September 25, 2004, without concluding the overarching story. The show was revived thirteen years later for a darker, more mature fifth season that provides a conclusion to Jack's story, with Williams Street assisting in production; it premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim as part of its Toonami programming block on March 11, 2017, and concluded with its final episode on May 20, 2017. Episodes were directed by Tartakovsky, often in collaboration with others.

The series has garnered critical acclaim and won eight Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Animated Program, as well as six Annie Awards and an OIAF Award. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest animated shows of all time.[1][2][3]

Premise

"Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shapeshifting 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!"

Aku's opening narration.

Samurai Jack tells the story of an unnamed young prince from a kingdom set in feudal Japan, whose father, the emperor of Japan, was given a magical katana from a trinity of gods—Ra, Rama and Odin—that he could and had used to defeat and imprison the supernatural shapeshifting demon Aku. Eight years later[4] Aku is freed, took over the land and held the Emperor hostage, but not before the prince was sent away by his mother to travel so that he could train around the world and return with the magic sword to defeat Aku. On his return, the prince-turned-samurai faced and almost vanquished Aku, but before he could deliver the final blow, the demon exiles him to the distant future, anticipating that he would be able to deal with the samurai by that time.[5]

In this era, the world has become a retrofuturistic dystopia where Aku reigns supreme. The first people the samurai encounters call him "Jack" as a form of slang, which he adopts as his name;[6] his given name is never revealed. Jack only has his kimono, geta and sword to his avail in his adventures.[7][8][9] Most episodes depict Jack overcoming various obstacles in his quest to travel back to his own time and vanquish Aku; his quest is prolonged occasionally by moments where either he nearly succeeds in returning to his own time,[10][11][12] or conversely, Aku nearly succeeds in defeating Jack,[13][14][15] only to be undermined by the unexpected.

Cast and characters

Main

  • Samurai Jack (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - A feudal Japanese prince trained to be an elite samurai warrior. He is armed with a magical katana that can cut through virtually anything and is the only weapon that can vanquish Aku.
  • Aku (voiced by Mako Iwamatsu in Seasons 1–4, Greg Baldwin in Season 5) - An evil shapeshifting demon born from an ancient and cosmic black mass who had exiled Jack to the distant future, where he reigns supreme and seeks to defeat the samurai. He is invulnerable to every type of weapon except for Jack's magic sword.
  • Ashi (voiced by Tara Strong, Season 5) - One of the seven septuplet daughters of the High Priestess of the Daughters of Aku, an all-female Aku-worshipping cult, who were trained since birth to kill Jack. She allies with Jack after learning of his and Aku's true natures and becomes his love interest.

Recurring

  • The Scotsman (voiced by John DiMaggio) - A robust, aggressive, stereotypically Scottish man who fights using an enchanted claymore and a submachine gun for a prosthetic leg, and becomes a close ally of Jack's.
  • The Emperor (voiced by Sab Shimono, Keone Young (1 episode)) - Jack's father, who originally created Aku by accident but vanquished him with help from the gods Odin, Ra and Rama, who forged the magic sword.

Setting

The retro-futuristic world is inhabited by a variety of denizens besides humans such as robots, extraterrestrials, anthropomorphic animals, monsters, magical beings and deities. Some areas may have advanced technologies like flying cars, while others resemble ancient times or industrial conditions. Moreover, Aku has brought aliens from other planets to inhabit Earth, after destroying the habitability of their home worlds. Criminals and fugitives of all kinds are very common on his Earth, including bounty hunters who voluntary hunt for Jack in exchange for a cash reward. Mythological and supernatural creatures make regular appearances and coexist among the technologically advanced inhabitants.

Despite exponential levels of technological advancement, there are still uninhabited areas of the world. Those include forests, jungles, and mountains, which have remained largely untouched even as Aku began his conquest and reign over every sentient being.[16][17][18] A few communities of intelligent creatures, like Shaolin monks, have also remained largely untouched in spite of Aku's reign.[19]

Production

File:Genndy Tartakovsky.jpg
Series creator Genndy Tartakovsky in 2012

Samurai Jack was created by Genndy Tartakovsky as a follow-up to his successful series Dexter's Laboratory. Cartoon Network executive Mike Lazzo recalled Tartakovsky pitching him the series: "He said, 'Hey, remember David Carradine in Kung Fu? Wasn't that cool?' and I was like, 'Yeah, that's really cool.' That was literally the pitch."[20] Tartakovsky said of the pitch, "It could backfire. People could say, 'I don't get it. There's hardly any dialogue.' But to me that just makes it more compelling."[21] Lazzo supported Tartakovsky's efforts, calling him "an architect of the success of the Cartoon Network."[21] According to Betty Cohen, then-president of Cartoon Network Worldwide, Samurai Jack was greenlit for 26 episodes before its pilot was produced, a decision Cohen attributed to Tartakovsky's success with Dexter's Laboratory.[22] Cartoon Network billed it as a series "that is cinematic in scope and that incorporates action, humor, and intricate artistry."[23]

The basic premise of Samurai Jack comes from Tartakovsky's childhood fascination with samurai culture and the bushido code,[24]Template:Rp as well as a recurring dream where he wandered a post-apocalyptic Earth with a samurai sword and traveled the world fighting mutants with his crush.[25] The show is inspired by 1970s cinematography, as well as classic Hollywood films such as Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia,[24]Template:Rp and Spartacus.[26] Thematic and visual inspirations come from Frank Miller's comic book series Rōnin, including the premise of a master-less, nameless samurai warrior thrown into a dystopic future in order to battle a shapeshifting demon. Similarly, the episode "Jack and the Spartans" was specifically inspired by Miller's graphic novel 300 that retold the Battle of Thermopylae.[26] The Japanese manga Lone Wolf and Cub and films by Akira Kurosawa were also inspirations.[27]

The network announced the series' launch at a press conference on February 21, 2001.[28][29] Weeks leading up to the series were accompanied by a sweepstakes giveaway sponsored by AOL in which the grand prize was a trip for four to Japan. AOL subscribers were offered sneak peeks of Samurai Jack as well as a look at samurai traditions, future toys, behind-the-scenes model sheets, and exclusive Cartoon Orbit cToons.[30][31] A CD-ROM containing clips of the premiere movie and a countdown clock until the series' premiere was distributed as part of AOL 6.0's release.[32] Samurai Jack debuted on Cartoon Network on August 10, 2001, with the three-part special "The Beginning".[33] As production of the fourth season was ending, with four seasons of 13 episodes each or 52 episodes of Samurai Jack in total, Tartakovsky, and the crew moved on to other projects.[34] The show ended with the airing of the four final episodes as a marathon on September 25, 2004.[35]

In Canada, Samurai Jack previously aired on YTV,[36] and currently airs on the Canadian version of Adult Swim.[37][38]

In United Kingdom, Samurai Jack previously aired on Cartoon Network,[10] and currently airs on streaming service All 4.[39]

Conclusion

The original series was left open-ended after the conclusion of the fourth season.[40] Tartakovsky said, "coming close to [the end of] the fourth season, we're like, 'are we gonna finish it?' And I didn't know... The network didn't know, they were going through a lot of transitions also. So I decided, you know, I don't want to rush and finish the whole story, and so we just left it like there is no conclusion and then [the final episode is] just like another episode". Art director Scott Wills added, "We didn't have time to think about it, because we went right into Clone Wars. They even overlapped, I think. There was no time to even think about it."[34]

Cancelled film

A film intended to conclude the story of Samurai Jack had been in development at different times by four different studios.[41]Template:Rp As early as 2002, Cartoon Network was producing a Samurai Jack live-action feature film,[42] in association with New Line Cinema.[43] Brett Ratner was hired as a director.[44] Tartakovsky said in a 2006 interview that the live-action version of Samurai Jack was thankfully abandoned, and that "we will finish the story, and there will be an animated film."[45] Fred Seibert announced in 2007 that the newly formed Frederator Films was developing a Samurai Jack movie,[46] which was planned to be in stereoscopic 2D[47] with a budget of 20 million dollars.[48] Seibert said in 2009 the film was being co-produced with J. J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions.[43] Sony Pictures expressed its interest to make the film.[49]

Genndy Tartakovsky said of the Samurai Jack movie in a 2012 interview with IGN: Template:Quote

Tartakovsky said the loss of Mako Iwamatsu (Aku's voice actor) would also need to be addressed.[50] The feature film project never materialized, and eventually, the series concluded with a fifth television season.[51]

Revival

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Samurai Jack returned to television over twelve years after its fourth season concluded, with the first episode of its fifth season airing on Adult Swim on March 11, 2017.[52] Produced at Cartoon Network Studios and Williams Street with Tartakovsky as executive producer,[53] the fifth and final season features more mature elements and a cohesive narrative that concludes Jack's journey. Set approximately 50 years after the original four seasons, Jack, who has not aged as a side effect of time travel, has lost his sword and has given up hope of ever returning home with no time portals left in existence. However, he begins to regain his sense of purpose when, after he kills six out of seven septuplet sisters sent to kill him by the Daughters of Aku, an all-female Aku-worshipping cult, he convinces the sole survivor, Ashi, to join his cause.[54] Phil LaMarr reprises his role as Jack;[55] Greg Baldwin provides the voice of Aku.[56] Mako, who voiced Aku in the show's first four seasons, died ten years before the revival was produced;[57] however, the original seasons' opening narration, provided by Mako, is used for Aku's past self in the series finale.[58]

Reception

Critical reception

Samurai Jack received generally positive reviews from critics following its 2001 Cartoon Network debut. Steven Linan of the Los Angeles Times said of the 90-minute premiere movie, "One can quibble with some of the dialogue, which sounds like something you'd hear in Karate Kid 2 ('Let the sword guide you to your fate, but let your mind set free the path to your destiny'). Nonetheless, there is one highly unconventional aspect of the series which sets it apart from others—its willingness to go for extensive stretches in which there is no dialogue."[59]

The premiere received high praise and four award nominations,[60][61] and was released as a standalone VHS and DVD on March 19, 2002.[20]

In 2004, British broadcaster Channel 4 ran a poll of the 100 greatest cartoons, in which Samurai Jack achieved the 42nd position.[62] The show was ranked eleventh by IGN for its "Top 25 Primetime Animated Series of All Time" list in 2006.[63] In its list ranking, IGN compared the series' writing style to Tartakovsky's Star Wars: Clone Wars, stating, "episodes have little or no dialogue, relying instead on action and strong visuals to tell the stories. Entertaining for adults, yet not too violent for kids."[63] The review went on to say that the series' "unique combination of cinematic and comic book styles appeals to all ages." IGN also ranked the show 43rd in its Top 100 Animated Series list in 2009, saying that its "simple and colorful art style lends itself well to the cinematic scope and frenetic action sequences that fill each episode."[64] IGN's review also stated that the series' "unique style and humor make the most out of the animation format, producing elaborate action sequences and bizarre situations that would be impossible to do in a live action film."[64]

On review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, the series as a whole has received an approval rating of 93%.[65] The first season received an approval rating of 80% while the fourth and fifth seasons received an approval rating of 100%.[66] The fifth season's critical consensus reads, "An increasing intensity and maturity are evident in Samurai Jack's beautifully animated, action-packed, and overall compelling fifth season."[67]

Matt Zoller Seitz, a film critic for RogerEbert.com and television critic for Vulture, considers Samurai Jack, along with Tartakovsky's Star Wars: Clone Wars, to be a masterwork and one of the greatest American animated shows on television, mainly for its visual style.[68] Entertainment Weekly ranked Samurai Jack third in its list of "10 Best Cartoon Network Shows" in 2012.[69]

Samurai Jack would later be included in Seitz and Alan Sepinwall's 2016 book TV (The Book) as an honorable mention following the 100 greatest television series.[70]
