show is good but i wish the writing were tighter, especially with ashi's arc and characterization after being told the truth

i always really liked how different jack looks when he has long hair, both in the original and in the new one.

Kinda weird it's over, honestly. Was a lot of fun watching the season. I wish it was longer, because it felt very rushed at the end.

Dont forget the one with the bounty hunters where they spend the entire episode going on about how theyll kill jack only for jack to defeat them all as a drop of water falls from ceiling to floor

Also the one where he fights the haunted house demon had a really cool art style and also memorable sound design

This one for sure. It's an earlier version of the snow fight from this season and makes very clever use of the minimalist art style. I also admire the ticking clock element, wherein the longer the fight goes on, the more of a disadvantage Jack is at. Really superb stuff.

I remember 6 am a sleepless summer on a small town visiting family, being completely mesmerized by the shinobi fight, how it played off the outline-less colors and shapes, and how surreal the tower seems as the shadows shift around.

Also a bit contentious but i never really liked when the show repeated an action shot in smaller frames, especially when it was something kinda mundane, like jack throwibg his sword or w/e.

Speaking of sound design, Jack and the Rave is certainly worth checking out... even if the cameo from this season was the only really cringe-y one.

And if you want comedy, Jack vs. Aku (S4) is probably the greatest episode once it gets rolling.

"AKUUUUU!"
