Le gasp! Well, he wanted to make an action show and experiment a bit with a cinematographic feeling.

He liked the Samurai fighting style, so he made a show about a samurai, although the original idea was of bounty hunters. His passion for action and serious plots had been from ever since he was a little kid, and maybe it was but until he started thinking of cartoons as a serious career that he started to get into wacky child shows, like the Looney Tunes.

He had experimented with his successful project Dexter's Laboratory and creative producer of the PowerPuff Girls, and he was lucky to be trusted enough to have a green light on his project. He had a challenge on his hands to make a show with as much action as his young audience target allowed, and that could be enjoyed by older audience as well.

Samurai Jack was a master piece of creativity. The way they would come up with episode ideas by grabbing keywords from a potluck and writing something around that, allowing the artists to develop the story visually, and the fact that they embraced "Silence is Golden" and "A picture speaks a thousand words" to absorb the audience into paying attention to the environment was simply outstanding! One show deserving of the 6 Emmy Nominations and 4 winnings.
