Steven Universe (2013–2019)
8/10
Much better than I thought.
2 July 2015
Initially I thought this show was going to be horrible. The lineup it is in just gave it a bad stigma. It is showing alongside Teen Titans Go which is horrible, Clarence which again is horrible, and Gumball which is the least horrible but still garbage to watch. So automatically Steven Universe is grouped in with a bunch of garbage shows. But after watching a few episodes I found it quite enjoyable. While Steven is hard to bear as an adult Cartoon Network is a children's channel and Steven is meant to appeal to kids so i could see why he is like that. The show might seem like mindless nonsense at the beginning of any episode but it does show brief hints of moral lessons. The Crystal Gems are the real gems of the show. I mean they have awesome history and lore and they are basically superheroes. This show is currently one of the best shows in Cartoon Networks afternoon lineup.

Samurai Jack (2001–2017)
10/10
This show is the Father I never had
2 July 2015
Samurai Jack is one of the greatest pieces of art out there. Every episode is just so good. Samurai Jack is a lonely samurai thrown into the future by Aku, the main villain. That is the intro and the premise of every episode. Artistically the action is superb. In many episodes you can see small hints and homages to other action movies or classics. Every episode is like a different movie such as dramatic story, gripping action, kung fu movie, or classic children's story.

Growing up Samurai Jack was one of my favorite shows. That means a lot because I believe it was the Cartoon Network golden age, in roughly 2000 to around 2005. They had a strong lineup with Toonami and many DC animations such as Batman, Justice League, and Superman. But I always liked Samurai Jack the best. I aspired to be like Samurai Jack.

I loved this as a Child and rewatched the whole series as an adult. Still no TV show is on par with this masterpiece. In fact the show was better watching it as an adult. I would have to say the best episode is "Samurai VS Ninja" S4 E1.
