Summary: Samurai Jack = Samurai Classic
Review: This has to be one of the most redeeming cartoons series i've seen in awhile. It brings back the greatness that those 80 cartoons had such as, transformers, Thundercats, Teenage Mutant Ninjai turtles, and so on. I'd be very suprised if this doesn't get the same wonderful sells the family guy dvd had, and most likely based on these sells well determine if cartoon network shows the final episodes of this classic, and just maybe Teletoon will pick up on this series as well.To the point now this has to one of the most visually stunning cartoons on tv today, the character Jack has the attitude of a fearless warrior and is always up to challenges to test his skill and to defeat evil.

Summary: Good, Good.
Review: This is one of my favorite cartoons out of many that i watch it is very well done and animation during fights is not bad for a tv show since i am used to very slow anime this made me feel a lot better. Some fighting in the show is a little repetitive but cool.
Did i mention its pretty? Anyway i think the best part of this samurai is common action unlike many anime that has screen shots with moving mouthes. But rent it first cartoony style may not fit some peoples ideas of action.

Summary: Jack is cooler than you.
Review: This is one of the 'cooler' shows I have seen in a while. Jack is a man who is often shown, rather than heard. He speaks only when needed, fights only when he has to, and lets his calm demeanor do the rest. While he can hold his own in any fight, he is always compassionate towards those deserving - even when it means forgoing his own plans.
This is a very good show for both kids and adults alike. The show has some great action but is presented in a kid-friendly format (all of the characters Jack cuts up are conviently robots). Jack is also shown as an excellent role model - fair, patient, true to his word, a hard worker, etc. For adults, there is a strange appeal to the mature crowd - the animation is a bit more stylized and the show favors more subtle facial expressions in place of dialogue at times. Also, those that have seen some Kurosawa will notice a few similiarities as well.
My only complaint is that they have not released the rest of the show yet. So for now, this first set will have to suffice.

Summary: Admit it, this was a good show
Review: This is one of those classic examples where you don't appreciate something until it goes away. When Samurai Jack first aired, I wasn't too impressed for some reason. However, when Cartoon Network starting slowing down the production on this in favor of showing something like "Kids Next Door" all the time I realized my mistake.
This show is largely Tartofsky's big gamble. He left his other show, Dexter's Lab in favor of starting a radically new and different show - which is Samurai Jack. The instant Genny left the helm of Dexter's Lab that show just wasn't the same anymore.
Genny Tartofsky is one of the most brilliant and wonderful animators around, alongside Jhonen Vasquez (of Invader Zim). This was and still is a great show. If you like this show, maybe check out the films of Kurosawa if you have the time.

Summary: Powerpuff Girls bite the dust!
Review: This is quite possibly Craig McCrackens' best animated T.V. show to ever appear on the Cartoon Network. Unlike his other previous works, "Dexter's Laboratory" & Powerpuff Girls", I believe "Samurai Jack" had more effort put into it. The detail is astounding, the atmosphere is fun and imaginative, and the characters are very interesting. Also, there's no stupid, idiotic (not to mention sometimes ANNOYING!) humor involved in this compared to the crappy 'Dexter' & 'Powerpuffs'. Once you watch the incredible (sometimes computerized) non-stop action, you'll be drawn right in to the amazing world of Jack & friends! Oh, did I forget to mention there's also plenty of blood involved? GRADE A CARTOON MATERIAL FOR ALL AGES! Now, if they could just release the COMPLETE First Season of "Ed, Edd n Eddy" on DVD I'd be even more satisfied. I hope that the Cartoon Network and Danny are up to it though. That's another good show that never fails to be funny compared to some of the other REALLY lame shows on that network!

Summary: Excellent, original, and... dare I say it... revolutionary.
Review: This show is absolutely beautiful. It possesses a cinematic aspect that few other animated shows (other than anime) have. To be clear, this is not anime. It is a highly syltized fusion of modern cartooning and traditional Japanese art. The show has a visual strength that allows for long, captivating sequences without dialogue. When there is dialogue, the voice acting is excellent, as you would expect with the talented Phil LaMarr and Mako behind the mics, playing Jack and Aku, respectively. As this was the first season, a couple of the episodes miss the mark ever so slightly, but the sheer brilliance of the best episodes easily overshadows the minor flaws that some of the weaker episodes possess. I would have rated this 4.5 stars, if possible, but in the final analysis, it is much closer to 5 stars than it is to 4. Above all, Samurai Jack is an groundbreaking animated show created by people who have an excellent sense of action and visual storytelling.

Summary: No Doubt...Completey Satisfying
Review: Yeah !! Some women love Samurai Jack, too ! (considering my age, can't say "girls") I think this is one of the most interesting cartoon/anime series around. Adults will find it thought-provoking and kids should think it's cool. The style, movement and drawings make the series quite unique, IMHO, even compared with Japanese anime. SJ is simply outstanding.
I am about to buy this box-set despite the fact that it contains all the episodes from the Premier Movie which I already own. My only fear is that some time down the road, they're gonna compile a bigger, more complete box-set like they did with Batman Animated Series and I have to buy repeats again (well, like I did with Batman):-( But, I guess, having SJ now will keep me happy for a while.
