It wears its considerable history on its sleeve, transforming a potentially boring and simplistic children's show into an often-breathtaking cult phenomenon. Go to Full Review
Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 08/17/2018
There's so much to admire here, so many touches that bespeak tremendous confidence and control... Less is always more in Tartakovsky. He's the action filmmaker as sketch artist, only drawing what needs be drawn to capture the essence of a moment. Go to Full Review
Richard Vine Guardian 08/17/2018
The action sequences are frenetic, stylish, gripping and artfully told. Go to Full Review
Susana Polo Polygon 02/07/2019
The appeal of Samurai Jack was never in dense plotting or cliffhanger endings... . It was in watching a team of animators push the boundaries of the show's hand-painted backgrounds and minimalist design to glorious lengths. Go to Full Review
Kevin Cortez CBR 02/07/2019
We're hoping a proper conclusion is on the way. However, we do know what impressed us the most in "Samurai Jack," and just how important this visually striking and continually inventive cartoon action-drama remains in the realm of animation Go to Full Review

It reads like a list of things someone sticks in their hideous slash fiction, but Tartakovsky's greatest triumph is that he and his team made it all seem coherent. Nothing felt out of place. Go to Full Review

02/16/2021 The penultimate season for Samurai Jack (before its fifteen year hiatus) was likely the strongest one yet. Episode after episode the animators never falter in giving us truly immerssive fight scenes, with highlights including a minimalist duel rendered only in black-and-white, and a noir-themed episode. The series would reach its apex a decade-and-a-half later with its long-delayed final season, but Samurai Jack's final year with the TV-Y7 moniker was another riveting success. See more 12/23/2017 50 Years have passed See more 03/09/2017 some of the season 4 episodes was so great and the others are so half-ass. without understanding the context of what happened back then, this season is dated and worst than season 3.
