It’s been 11 years since there was last a new Samurai Jack episode. And there’s no clear sense of when, or even if, the film adaption (in the works since 2002) will make it onto theater screens.
So for now, the best fans can do is read the comics, or watch this fan tribute to the time-travelling swordsman over and over again.

Created by YouTube user avemagnadude, the video is short but neatly encapsulates the spirit of the series. There’s are a few other geeky treasures too, including the decision to use “Know they Enemy” by Creative Assembly & Sega. The song first rose to prominence when it was used in the Shogun II Total War soundtrack.
The original Samurai Jack series ran from 2001 to 2004, covering four seasons and 52 episodes.
Unfortunately it’s abrupt cancellation by Cartoon Network meant that there was no conclusion to the series.
While this video doesn’t provide any of that closure, it may at least provide fans with hope that someone, somewhere, will deliver the goods.
