Anime Expo 2016: Here’s What We Can Expect From The Return Of ‘Samurai Jack’

by Josh Jackson

In case you were on your own time traveling journey over the last few months, Samurai Jack is returning to Toonami in 2016 with a brand new season! Aside from a pre-release image shown last month, no new details have been revealed regarding the next chapter in Jack’s adventure. During the Toonami panel at Anime Expo however, Genndy Tartakovsky and his team decided to open their doors and give us a peak at what we can expect later this year.

This behind the scenes look, (which can be watched in the trailer below), shows how much of a passion project this has been for the team. Ranging from the creators, to the animators, to the voice actors, the enthusiasm is easy to see. Emphasizing a new, darker Jack, the years since we last saw the time traveling samurai have not been kind to him. Sporting long hair and a beard, the fifth season is promising to be a much darker, more violent story than we were used to years ago. Other obstacles, like the death of Aku’s voice actor, Mako Iwamatsu, are discussed in depth in the seven minute video, that has been uploaded to Adult Swim’s YouTube page after its debut at their panel.

What were your biggest takeaways from the video? What are you hoping to see when Jack returns later this year? Sound off below, and be sure to check back for all your Anime Expo news.

Rare To Release Behind-The-Scenes Videos For Unreleased ‘Banjo Tooie’ mode and ‘Banjo Kazooie’ Prototype

by The_acz

Exciting times for fans of Banjo Kazooie and Rare alike! Not only has the release of Rare Replay and development of Sea of Thieves signaled a return for the legendary company, but to top it off, they’ve been revealing Behind the Scenes secrets on some their most beloved properties. Yesterday, the company revealed that they are hard at work on more Behind the Scenes documentaries.One is on an unreleased co-op mode for Banjo Tooie entitled Bottles Revenge. Bottles Revenge was a co-op mode that would have one person playing as a devil version of Bottles the Mole; as he possessed enemies in order to stop Banjo and Kazooie from defeating Gruntilda. It was even going to allow the player to take control of bosses,but the mode was sadly abandoned. Oddly Enough the mode is still accessible using a Game Shark, but bosses can’t be controlled(video link of Bottles Revenge being played at the end of article.). The other video is a bit more interesting, as that one will focus on an unreleased 2.5D prototype of the original game. There are even hints that we could possibly get our first glance at gameplay of Dream, which was the first conceptual prototype of what would become Banjo Kazooie. Are  you excited for these videos?

Briefly: With just over one month to go until The Walking Dead returns on AMC, the show’s marketing push has just been turned up a notch.

Today, the network debuted a new behind-the-scenes video, which features The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman giving a tour of one of the show’s many sets. AMC has also released a new piece of key art for the season, which spotlights Rick standing all alone near a broken fence. As we’ve seen from the already released trailer, the walkers are bound to get in at some point.

Take a look at the new video and artwork below, and let us know if you’re excited! The Walking Dead returns on October 13th!

Watch The First Clip From ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 4!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re just over a month away from the return of television’s biggest series, The Walking Dead, and AMC today debuted the first clip from the upcoming season.

From the clip, it looks as though the prison folks are doing pretty well for themselves. They’ve built a much better door system than the old fences would have had, plus it looks like there’s a pretty solid barrier around the prison (or at least this area). Could Michonne be hurt, however? Why does she spend so much time trying to keep the walkers at bay, instead of simply slicing their heads off?

Take a look at the clip below (clip begins at 36 seconds), and let us know what you think! Season four of The Walking Dead premieres on October 13th!
