I'm a nut for intro's like this. How can one not be intruiged. Just started watching this show which has been around for quite a while, Samurai Jack. And, i have to say, i've slept through 60% of the episodes. This is not to say it is a boring show, on the contrary, it quite interesting...& uh... different.

I agree whole-heartedly. The style, humor, tone, pace & intensity of Samurai Jack was carried across very well. I like
