Summary: Not Bad
Review: The animation is simple, but it is very symbolic and philosophical. There is a really funny part where Jack gets his name from.

Summary: Just beautiful...
Review: The things that hooked me on this series were: > the art - gorgeous asian-themed (but at the same time early 70s retro!) backgrounds, plus breathtaking action scenes > the pacing - unlike Dexter's Lab or Power Puff Girls, there's a lot of silence and letting things happen - much like a Japanese (live-action) samurai film or comic > the humor - like Jack's reactions when he encounters the dogs and has drinks with them - I mean, they're dogs! The movie looks to be what I watched as the first three episodes of the series (I just got the alert and I'm ordering it today). A caveat, the talking dog plot is a bit weak, most of the other episodes are better. But the incredible zillion-to-one fight against the robot beetles is totally on. (I wouldn't recommend Jack for young kids because of the frequent slicing up of opponents, regardless of whether they turn out to be robots, plus the pacing might be too slow.) The first episode has one of my favorite moments so far. It's the long scene that summarizes Jack's growth and training - notice the seamless transitions from one experience and culture to the next. Just beautiful.

Summary: Best american animation proposal by far.
Review: This cartoon is suitable for all ages. Worried dads about Dragonball's "violence" dont have to worry about this toon. This is just the story of a hero, that anyone can be sympathetic with. Good action, incredible story, excelent episodes, great extra features for the P.C. or Mac. The animation proposal is art. Learn to apreciate. Please watch the interviews with Gendy Tartakovsky. A mythical experience, the struggle between good and evil. Aku... is Aku (evil)... a great villan for ages to come. Jack is the hero, and a legend to live and fight Aku for as long as he stands. Watch this !

Summary: An Awesome Series
Review: This cleverly written, wild series is action-packed. It features a wide variety of characters and subplots, all of which are likely to attract the attention even marginal sci-fi buffs. The story begins with the rise of an evil demon named Aku in ancient Japan. Aku is bent on taking over the world, and he manages to do so and then some. Jack, who was a young boy when Aku attacked the Emperor's palace, becomes a great warrior and tries to stop Aku. Unfortunatly, Jack is teleported into a future dominated by evil. It is then that the series really gets rolling. There are so many weird creatures, aliens, mutants, and killer robots in this series it almost puts Star Wars to shame. I do agree with the editorial review: the talking dogs were not as interesting as most of the other characters in the series. Part of the reason for this is the fact that on the whole, Samuri Jack seems basically too complicated and geared for older viewers to include talking dogs. Indeed: this show would fit well in Cartoon Network's, Toonamie.

Summary: Ignore this and get the Season 1 dvd instead
Review: This dvd isn't so bad; but it's just the first 3 episodes of Season 1. The 'never seen before episode' is the 11th episode (the one with the Scottsman on the bridge), which is also on the Season 1 dvd. It's disappointing that they don't tell you that on the description anywhere, so for any of you who planned on getting both this and the Season 1 set - just get the Season 1 set by itself.
Otherwise, this is a fine intro to Samurai Jack and is worth watching. I would rate the disc 4.5 out of 5 on its own.

Review: This is an awesome cartoon with great animation. It also has a kick-butt soundtrack and the extra episode is awesome too. One of the best toons to come out in a long time.

Summary: Ancient Warrior, Science Fiction Setting
Review: This is the pilot episode to Samurai Jack. The one where you find out who Samurai Jack is, how he becomes a legendary warrior and his attempt to stop the plight of the demon, Aku (which translates out to "Evil" in Japanese). Jack tries to destroy Aku, and is flung into the future. After adapting (sort of) he attempts to hunt down his immortal enemy in a new, dimensionally-active earth, and/or tries to find a time-portal back home. Also includes a bonus episode where he first meets "The Scottsman". Unlike most of Genndy Tartakovsky's "Cute" series like "Dexter's Lab", and the "Power Puff Girls" (although PPGs have their moments), Samurai Jack is rather serious. He does have some humor sprinkled in, but in the end, it's usually Jack, his Katana (sword), and some big-bad from the underworld/another dimension/ etc... Samurai Jack is voiced by Phil LaMarr, who does an awesome job of making Jack sound like a quiet, slightly-accented Samurai. On the other side of the fence, is Mako who voices "Aku". Aku the demon has a deep, gravelly voice that Mako does very well! Both were casted perfectly in my opinion. However, Samurai Jack isn't for those who like life-like graphics... the pictures on the front cover are pretty much indicative of the series. The real gold of this series is the plot-lines, and just how cool Jack is. If you like sword-fighting, honorable heroes and maybe sci-fi flicks, this is your series!

Summary: Impressive
Review: This takes the weekly installment of cartoons to a new level of artistic realisation. No cartoon has ever come close to the feel of an epic saga like samurai jack has its artistic flexibility and humor is beutifully painted into each frame of animation I hope to see even more great works by the samurai team and maybe this will be one of the first masterpieces that cartoonnetwork will have in its crown. heres to an almost perfect work I hope it succeeds.

Summary: Okay... so the storyline isnt bad
Review: Well, this movie was okay. I gave it one star because all movies deserve at least one star because theyre difficult to make(plus [Amazon.com] wont let me put 0 stars). It gets another star because it is not the annoying crud ive seen coming from Cartoon Network studios (not that ALL cartoon cartoons are bad). But it can get a little boring. This guy, Genndy Tartakovsky, wanted to create an "action" cartoon. Well, nice try. The animaton is so poor... whew. I f you ever take a look of Jack's foot, it looks like it is flat. Another thing is if you watch an episode, you can go for like 20 minutes without anyone uttering a peep. And this guy tries to hide corny violence(like all the bad guys,pretty much) behind the fact that they are all robots or androids. Its okay to cut them into pieces because they are robots... huh. Unlike what some other guy said, anime fans will probably not like this ... imitation of a cartoon. I have twenty anime DVDs and I didnt like it. But im not you. Check this out on Cartoon Network before even adding it to your cart. If you are over age of 11 you probly wont like it. The storyline is decent, but the animation, the corny violence, the so little talking... Sorry.
