Japanese swordsman Isao Machii was stood just 30 feet away from the pitching machine, giving him just milliseconds to react.

He takes a couple of pitches to line up his swing and then unsheathes his sword in the blink of an eye to cut clean through the third one. - Dailymail

Adult Swim Revives Samurai Jack

The Time Warner-owned cable programmer that tilts toward millennial viewers and younger generations with animated fare shown in primetime and overnights, said it would release more original programming via streaming video for daytime viewing as part of an effort to spur its audience to increase consumption of its oddball but cult-favorite content.

The outlet ” simply knows its audience,” said Christina Miller, president and general manager, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang, in a prepared statement.

As part of its slate of programs, expected to be cited next week during a presentation by Time Warner’s Turner unit, Adult Swim will unveil its revival of “Samurai Jack,” the former Cartoon Network series that has not produced an original episode since 2004. Original creator and executive producer Genndy Tartakovsky will continue the epic story of a young prince from feudal Japan vies with a shape-shifting demon named Aku in the far-flung future. The series will be produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

Samurai fonts

If you are making Samurai art don't forget to change the font to something matching the theme!

If you don't already know fonts are small files that end with the extension .TTF or .OTF, once you download the file on you desktop you can double click on the file and it will allow you to preview the font and download it to your system, after that you can open any word editing program or even photo editing program and chose that font you just downloaded, you can safely delete the file you just downloaded from the desktop if you want, the font will still be on your system.

Here are two links to sites where you can find Samurai fonts for your daily needs, for writing a letter to your wife back in the village, sending a flaming message to the emperor about his weak strategy or maybe laser engraving your name on your sword, they will definitely come handy.

Font space (click me): I like the ability to multi-preview the font before downloading.

 The fonty (click me): The site will suggest to you similar fonts, this is the biggest feature I like about it.

Edo font (Click me)

Note: Make sure to read the read-me files that come with the font, some fonts are free to use for personal use not free for commercial use so double check that before using any font.
