Must watch: Samurai Jack tribute animation
Anyone else think it’s crazy you can’t easily get hold of Samurai Jack these days? I’ve not seen any blu-ray (or even DVD) in the UK and if it’s legally streaming on the sites I visit I’d be surprised. Also… isn’t this slightly spooky? Even for Samurai Jack! This must be what happens when a […]
