Jack and the Rave

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Samurai Jack enters a town where all the children have fallen under the spell of Aku’s rave music and vows to release every one of them from Aku’s evil grasp.

Our Take

One of the show’s stranger premises, and it mostly works because the visuals do the heavy lifting, with pulsing club lighting and hypnotic choreography giving Jack something new to fight against. The rave kids themselves are thin as characters, so the middle stretch drags a bit. Still, it’s a fun, weird detour worth a watch if you like the experimental episodes.
