Howdy,
I just saw the one and a half hour premiere of this new show on Cartoon Network. Anyone else catch it? I love the guy's previous works (Dexter's Lab and Powerpuff Girls) and had some idea of what to expect. It was much darker and "serious" but still had a comic edge to it. The art direction, in particular the backgrounds and character designs, was outstanding. The music was well done, too. I like the story line and voice acting. The action scenes were very much in line with similar, but more tongue in cheek, action scenes in their other two shows. Derivative yet still an homage to anime stylings. I think this is a great new look, though. My only complaints is that it was at times almost TOO stylistic. One scene in particular, namely the final battle, though great was far too long. On the other hand, a lengthy scene at the beginning, where Jack is getting his wordly training, really worked. I have high hopes for the show. Also hip were the brief looks at the new Justice League show due out in November.
Just curious if any fans of Jack are out there.
Ciao,
Phil
