OK this looks better than what I said before. I was worried they were going to bloody it up just because it's AS now, and the TV14 rating didn't help. What I liked about CN Samurai Jack was its kid-friendly depiction of the same hyperviolent anime-stylized samurai shit most of us kids had already seen in Ninja Scroll by the time the show first ran, and using it to its advantage rather than seeing it as a crutch like every other "anime" at the time, which in turn became much more enjoyable to watch for both kids and adults than the Ninja Scrolls and such. AS allows for anime with blood-soaked full frontal nudity, so though the floodgates are open, it seems that those involved just want to continue a good thing than give it a gritty makeover.
