This review is from: Samurai Jack: Season 4 (DVD)

I am a 36 year old father who got into Samurai Jack through his son. I will admit that I am a big kid and love animation, but I am also picky and don't have time to waste on sub-par series. Samurai Jack is certainly a cut above most. From its offbeat theme song and stylized animation, you know you are getting something special -- and that isn't even taking into account the premise of the shows! My son even wanted to be called Jack for a several months, and has been inspired to learn the art of the samurai sword in his Tae Kwon Do class. All because of this series.

I missed most of Season 4 because of Cartoon Network's constant shifting of the show. I am not sure why it did not go on for another few seasons as it was always fresh and exciting. It is one of the few shows that really miss being able to see. We have the other 3 seasons on DVD and they were well worth the purchase price. Excellent stories, high flying action, and great characters make Samurai Jack a cartoon for the ages. I expect the Season 4 DVD will continue to live up to those high standards.

EDIT: Got the DVDs and have been watching them with my kids. Yep, it was worth the wait. It is fun to catch a few of the episodes I missed. Some have said the quality of the show dropped in season 4 -- I could not disagree more!

Domo arigato Jack... Sayounara

The Final Season. If you don't know JACK...SAMURAI JACK, that is, is the story of a young samurai warrior seeks to defeat the evil shape-shifting master of darkness, Aku who has destroyed his father's kingdom and imprisoned its people. During a climatic battle between Aku and the samurai, Aku sends the young samurai through a time portal into the far future where Aku rules the Earth. Called "Samurai Jack" by the inhabitants of this future world, he seeks a way to return to the past and undo Aku's horrible deeds while battling Aku and his evil minions.

Includes:

"Samurai versus Ninja"- Great light-play visuals as Jack beats a Ninja at his own game

"Robo-Samurai versus Mondo Bot" - What's cooler than a Samurai story, maybe a Samurai story with a giant fightin' robot!!

"Samurai versus Samurai" - It intros poser Da' Samurai w/ David Alan Grier & Great rain effects, nice balance of guest star comedy and classic Jack

"The Aku Infection" Jack gets some of Aku's evil

"The Princess And The Bounty Hunters" - Siamese killer twins

"Scotsman Saves Jack (Part 1 of 2)" - proof that you can never have too much of the Scotsman. Jack has lost his memory and is serving as a waiter on a cruiseship. Count the STAR WARS refs. John DiMaggio a.k.a. Bender voices Scotsman.

"Jack And The Flying Prince And Princess" - Prince and princess flee invaders and Jack helps eem. Tom Kenny voices.

"Jack versus Aku" - No more middle-men. Nice!

"The 4 Seasons Of Death" - Four separate stories one for each season, 'kay?

"Tale Of X9" - a "Nator"-Dude forced by Aku to hunt Jack.

"Young Jack In Africa" - Flashback.

"Jack And The Baby" - That's about it!!

The series won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program in 2004 (it was also nominated in 2002 and 2005) - and artists Scott Willis, Dan Krall and Bryan Andrews received Emmys for Outstanding Individual Achievement In Animation for their work on the series. Beautifully animated, the series makes you feel as if you are looking a high-action, high-color woodcut prints, scored with music both modern and ancient, both electric and serene. Featuring the voice work and the incredible depth of feeling from Phil LaMarr as Jack, and brilliance of Mako as Aku.

This set includes episodes 40 through 52 as released in the season 4 set

NOTE: IF YOU DON'T ALREADY OWN ANY JACK on DVD, YOU MAY WANT TO GET THE Samurai Jack SEASON 1-3 SET WHICH WILL (OBVIOUSLY) INCLUDEs DVDS (#1-39), BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO WANT THEM ALL, I PROMISE!

Samurai Jack isn't a cartoon you just leave on in the background as you do other things. Its a show that demands and deserves your full attention. The majority of its dialogue is spoken through its images. This is art, anime, and cartoons at its best. A MUST HAVE. period.
