I know it's four months early, but...
In August 2003--nearly 10 years ago, perhaps--a two-part episode of Samurai Jack by Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Dexter's Laboratory and future director of Hotel Transylvania, aired on Cartoon Network. The following year, it won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program, no less.
It is basically a prequel to the Premiere Movie, and it is something that explains the origins of the evil shape-shifting demon wizard Aku, as well as the origins of Samurai Jack's magic sword, and how Samurai Jack's dad, The Emperor of Japan, fought Aku and eventually brought about Aku's 'jailtime' by locking up Aku's remains and demon forces deep in the earth--so that Aku's tree-like 'jailhouse' could stick out admist the damage that the Shogun of Sorrow has wrought. And it ended with the birth of Samurai Jack, my most favorite cartoon samurai warrior of all time.
That two-part Samurai Jack episode I'm talking about is called "The Birth of Evil".
Again, I know it's four months early, but I have done two things in preparation for the 10th anniversary of Samurai Jack: The Birth of Evil Parts one and two.
First off, I have done two versions of a fanmade Photoshop collage tribute poster that I had done for that two-part Emmy Award-winning Samurai Jack episode that is Birth of Evil:
Secondly I am starting this 10th anniversary thread so those who have seen and/or remembered seeing Samurai Jack and/or its Emmy Award-winning two-parter Birth of Evil could talk and/or reminiscence about this show and/or Birth of Evil.
And so, here we go.
Do you remember the two-part Emmy Award-winning Samurai Jack episode Birth of Evil? Do you like it or not? What is your favorite part(s) from Birth of Evil?
Well, what's your word or review on Birth of Evil, the two-part Emmy Award-winning Samurai Jack episode that I'm talking about?
