    Who in the whole, greedy world thought of this junk? This show is unoriginal and it really stinks as a tv show. Every stupid episode they invent makes me want to kill the creators who created this show! Please. I demand everyone to dump this pathetic show. It sucks as hell!

    This show was one of the first Cartoons I remember watching. This show is very simple. Takes place in the future, a guy from the past trying to get back. I really like the plot of it. It seems every times he gets close to his goal it gets snatched away from him. I was pretty mad when this got canceled. I wanted them to make an ending to it. There was no ending. I know of many shows that this happens to and I wish they would make a movie or one last episode that at least brings the series to the close it so diserves.moreless

    This show is a waste of time to watch. Some guy from feudal Japan fights a demon and feels sorry for him. What's wrong with him, demons kill and that's all they do. Why feel sorry for them? Next thing he knows, the demon double crossed him (big surprise) and he's in a black and white portal to the future. Once there he fights robots because the writers didn't want there to be any blood. What's wrong with blood? It makes shows more realistic. Also, does this show ever end? When it got cancelled, I couldn't find out if the last one was the end. As far as I know, every episode had a different conflict and there were cliff-hangers.moreless

  • Truly a Classic, I watched the entire series, beginning to end with my friends recently. This show had a lot of deep stuff.

    This show had an awesome premise, meeting scifi and fantasy perfectly! The whole series felt epic! Everything was so theatrical and suspensful, you could see the effort put into every frame. The show tried a lot of different things for its episodes too, which I really appreciate, it never let things get stale. Some of my favorite episodes were the ones where the formula was done wildly differently, like the X9 noir episode, telling the tragic story of a good robot forced to assasinate jack, but ends up falling to his blade, this episode showed how deep and dark the series wasnt afraid to go. The episode where the bounty hunters team up on jack is awesome too. Lastly, the winter part of the seasonal episode is pretty clever, and awesome, and cleverly awesome as well.

    To bad it never got a finale.moreless

    I never watched the show a lot when I was younger (nor do I now) but it seemed pretty dark, I thought. The characters, the plots of episodes, the settings... it just seemed dark, and when I was a kid I didn't like dark cartoons/comedy. Maybe if I watched it now I would like it more, maybe not. I think if I do there is a chance I will like it more than I do, so I think I might watch it sometime soon. My overall grade from what I remember is about a C- or so. A bit averagemoreless
