Crunchyroll and Adult Swim have shared further details on their project set in the beloved Blade Runner universe, to air in the fall. The series is produced by Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo), and directed by Shinji Aramaki (Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ultraman [Manga] ) and Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Eden of the East, Ultraman [Manga] ). Sola Digital Arts is the animation studio.
Sixteen years after its birth on Cartoon Network, the hit animated series, Samurai Jack will reach its peak with a final chapter for its season 5 premiere on March 11. Phil LaMarr returns to voice the title role, a samurai fighting to find a way back to the past after initially being swept into the future by Aku, his demonic nemesis voiced by late actor Iwamatsu Mako.
SYNOPSIS:
It’s been 50 years since we saw Samurai Jack and time has not been kind to him. Aku has destroyed every time portal and Jack has stopped aging, a side effect of time travel. It seems he is cursed to just roam the land for all eternity.
Heavily bearded, and armed, Jack re-emerges once more in the official trailer you can view below. Tune into the official website to check out a marathon of the episodes right now and tune into Adult Swim on Saturday, March 11th at 11pm Eastern and Pacific.
