This TV cartoon first aired on Cartoon Network 11 years ago.
When I was ten years old, when I first saw the premiere movie that launched the Samurai Jack show on Cartoon Network in the month leading up to the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, at the time, I think it was unlike anything I have ever seen before on mainstream TV here in the USA.
And so, do you guys ever remembered or watched Samurai Jack, the Cartoon Network series that is created between 2001 and 2004 by Dexter's Laboratory creator and Hotel Transylvania director Genndy Tartakovsky?Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No - 6 months 25 days ago

And oh! Here's another thing: we all know Cartoon Network usually loathed publishing an art book for any individual show of theirs, and we also know it's been 11 years now since Samurai Jack was first put in production, but here's this... 
Someday, would you ever be interested in buying a lavishly illustrated coffee table art book on Samurai Jack someday, if that Samurai Jack art book will ever become a reality?Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No - 1 month 14 days ago

And guess what I found?
THESE!!!
There are some preliminary sketches done for my most favorite action cartoon of all time—Samurai Jack:
There are also storyboards for Aku’s attack on Jack’s village at the beginning of Samurai Jack:
And last but not least, 10 model sheets/episode/character designs from the first half hour part of the premiere movie:
And where did I found them, you may ask?
Well, I have found them at the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine archive cache for the Samurai Jack page at Cartoon Network.com’s now-defunct Department of Cartoons webpage, of course.
And someday, folks, I am going to be famous for my love of cartoons, especially the work of Genndy Tartakovsky like Samurai Jack. And someday, my fame and fortune will grow to worldwide/international proportions on account and strength of what I’m hoping for the most complete Samurai Jack behind-the-scenes art collection ever compiled and assembled, and by no means imaginable—one which will take the form of a multi-volume series of lavishly illustrated Samurai Jack coffee-table art books (in print, digital interactive ebook or both forms) or a major traveling art gallery show exhibit showcase, perhaps—The Art of Samurai Jack: An Epic Behind-The-Scenes Celebration of Genndy Tartakovsky’s action cartoon series Samurai Jack, no less.

I don't know, but anyway, check this out: 
It's basically my Photoshop fanart of Samurai Jack—my favorite cartoon samurai warrior and my kind of guy—seeing visions of his mom and dad—The Empress and Emperor of Japan—in the form of a constellation amidst an Aurora Borealis (or Northern Lights, as it is commonly known).
Seriously, if Samurai Jack were to fulfill his destiny—which is to find the time portal that he had badly been searching for, to go back to his own time and place, and to do the killin’ blow to Aku the Shogun of Sorrow and his dark and bleak future world, it will always be this:
It’ll be visions of his dad and mom—The Emperor and Empress of Japan—that will always be guiding Samurai Jack—and always will be.
