Samurai Jack was a great show, there's no question about that. But when I watched the first episode and he arrived in that cyberpunk city, I was really excited. A samurai from the past exploring a cyberpunk future? That sounds amazing.
Of course, as anyone who watched the show knows, he spent very little time in that city. Most episodes took place in the forest or around ancient ruins, and Jack being in "the future" was really just an excuse for him to fight robots so they could make the show as violent as possible and Jack would only get splashed with "oil".
(See? There's no blood! It's safe for kids!)
Sure, there were some episodes that were more cyberpunk, like the rave episode:
And the episode with the robot who just wanted to find his lost dog (Lulu, sweet thing):
But those were exceptions.
Of course, I kept watching the show anyway, because it's great. I was just hoping for more sci-fi/cyberpunk episodes. At least we finally got that last season, which finished the story after over a decade of waiting.
Anyway, here's the intro. You can watch the entire series on Max or Adult Swim.
X-49 was one of the most amazing concepts, since it did a good job of showing us a cybernoir story!
