My favorite show on television right now is, without a doubt, Samurai Jack. An animated series showing on Cartoon Network, it follows the journeys of a samurai, who is trying to find a way back to the past to undo a great evil and defeat a horrific monster. The animation style is deceptively simple, very coloful, and very sharp. The flow of action combines the Japanese method of stopping or slowing time to heighten the sense of drama, as well as fast-paced and well animated fight scenes. Plot, character, dialouge, pacing and craftsmanship are all well done, and have created a fantastic show.
