Will Samurai Jack ever defeat Aku?? We discuss the Samurai Jack#comics here http://bit.ly/2bb0S0r #podcast #comicbooks #SamuraiJack


The good news is, the voice actors that fans have gotten to love are back. Starting with Phil LaMarr who will reprise his role as the lead character Jack. Initially, he refused to confirm his comeback for the role. However, the official behind the scenes video was the best confirmation of his return.

Genndy Tartakovsky, the series creator, also said that the Scotsman will return to the show. But a new voice actor will breathe life into the main villain Aku, because of the passing of Mako Iwamatsu back in 2006. Tartakovsky added that the original voice actor was irreplaceable and said that while “the person does a very good imitation, nobody can replace Mako.”

Samurai Jack Season 5 Release Date


On the other hand, Chris Reccardi, writer and storyboard artist, announced on his official Facebook page about the series premiere date set on March 2017. Although Jason DeMarco, Toonami’s producer, said that the date hasn’t been set yet. Because of this, Reccardi deleted his post permobileapps.com.

THE GREAT AND POWERFUL AKU, illustration I did a week or two ago of Aku with a more serious design #samuraijack

3:38 AM - 6 Dec 2016




Fans can expect Jack to look different this time around. This in terms of character design and his personality. This is because the story will pick up five decades following the 52nd episode. Previous reports also mentioned that the series will be having a more mature and darker tone. This according to Tartakovsky. He said that the new season is set to become more action-packed.

Darrick Bachman, who is Samurai Jack‘s screenwriter, said that the series will be more badass than it has ever been. Many years following the last episode, Jack?s new adventures will be the story of redemption and self-exploration.


Can't wait for this, they need to stop bullshytting and air it already. Hopefully that March 2017 date is real. :wow:

Sounds like we're about to get an older, grimier, more cynical Jack that's not afraid to kill people.

That's what this is brotha 10 episodes to conclude everything :russ:
:beli: @ myself. I misread your previous post. I read it as the final fight would end in Jack being thrown into another time portal.

Still not sure about this "soft reboot" thing tho.
