On this very day, during 11 PM, Samurai Jack got himself back to the past on @adultswim.
My deepest thanks extend to Genndy Tartakovsky & Joel Valentine, plus Chris Reccardi, Phil LaMarr, Greg Baldwin, Tyler Bates, Sabre Media Studios/Hacienda Post and Tim & Alex Borquez, @stephendestefano @rdaskas Scott Wills and Tom Kenny for their amazing work.
What we need is a lot more Samurai Jack merch. I mean, A WHOLE LOT. A few products and memorabilia were made, but we NEED more. I was not able to record any episode of season 5 with my DVD recorder as it aired and the wi-fi Sling required had a few bumps, but I was there for it--all of it. I even recorded my reaction to the series finale! (not sure about posting it yet)
In the first year that passed:
[adult swim] released a digital soundtrack of Tyler Bates’ score of Season 5, which isn’t as complete as the cover says, but still definitely worth it.
A limited-edition (100 only) Aku jacket was sold.
Samurai Jack EPISODES I-III (”The Premiere Movie”) in HD was released in theaters.
5th Sun made Samurai Jack t-shirts based on Season 5.
Samurai Jack Season 5 was released on DVD (I got it as soon as it came out!), and The Complete Series on Blu-Ray--well, complete so far, until we get at least one season to explore, say, the comics, the rise of Scaramouche and other characters).
Genndy Tartakovsky pushed the bar of CGI animation for Hotel Transylvannia 3: Summer Vacation.
Next thing you know--it may be that Tartakovsky’s “Maruined” will revive production, even if it ended up on, like, Disney XD. Hopefully, Sony Pictures Animation’s “Popeye” will continue production, too.
