Samurai Jack: The Complete Series (Blu-ray)

I got this while it was on sale for $60.Without a doubt, especially for that price, this particular box set is worth it. It contains all 5 seasons. The box it comes in is sturdy and each season comes in its own blu ray case with nice artwork.Perhaps the most stand out thing about this is that it also comes with a digital copy of all 5 seasons - essentially doubling its value. I can now have the complete series in a collectible box set, safe in storage, while watching it digitally on Vudu. It’s worked flawlessly and I couldn’t be happier. My only disclaimer to this is that most digital codes at some point expire, so if you’ve been on the fence about purchasing this and the option of also owning this digitally is appealing to you, it might be worth doing so before it’s too late.As for the show itself:Samurai Jack is one of the most creative, subdued yet bombastic when it needs to be, under-the-radar shows I’ve ever seen. Whether you’re a fan of anime or animation in general, this show is a love letter to the genre and to anyone with an appreciation for art, samurai, action, and sci-fi.While keeping an overarching, simple-yet-understandable narrative, most episodes play as independent stories that mostly all come to a respective conclusion by the time the credits roll - each taking you to near limitless locations, locales, styles, etc. The show also does something I’ve rarely ever seen done in any other animation, let alone tv show in general, and that is that it allows for minutes to pass by at times with little going on at all - moments where you watch scenery and listen to the superb audio whether it be the nuanced score or the painstakingly real sound effects (i.e., water dripping, steel on steel, machines whirring, drums beating in the distance, wind and leaves rustling). There’s something to be said about this. It’s not done enough in my opinion and strikes a right balance in the show - it feels right and elevates Samurai Jack far above where it would be if it fell into the trappings all too many other shows do in terms of thinking they constantly need to be swiftly moving along with action and/or dialogue to keep the viewers attention.There’s humor, action, suspense, drama and, at the center of it all, a narrative that anyone with a heart can connect with - a man trying to find his way, attempting to fight evil, to return home, to right the wrongs that have befallen him and his people.I’m half-way through season 4 and I’m so excited to someday watch this again with my son as he gets older - the show is very clean, save for action sequences. Though one more disclaimer is that I’ve heard/read that Season 5 introduces some profane language and blood that the previous seasons did not contain. Keep that in mind!I can’t say enough good things about the show or this box set. I’m so glad I pulled the trigger on it when I did. It looks like the price has went up significantly since, but I’m sure with some patience you could find a new copy elsewhere? Or perhaps Amazon will eventually restock and maybe there will be another sale. Regardless, it’s worth it. Absolutely worth it.

Loved this show ever since it first aired on tv and now was so happy it got a 5th season to bring a conclusion to the story. The box is such a great look and the discs looked super clean. So happy with this purchase.

At long last, one of the best animated series of this century is in HD. I've been meaning to get the hard-to-find DVDs for some time now, but when I heard the complete series was on Blu-ray, I bought it immediately, even if it was costly.Once upon a time, the demonic elder god Aku escaped from his otherworldly prison to wreak havoc on the land. but all was not lost. A young samurai prince, trained by the greatest warriors in the ancient world and armed with a magic katana forged by the elder gods themselves (the one and only thing that can actually harm Aku) emerged and soundly defeated the monster. Before he could deliver the coup de grace, Aku cheated and hurled him into a distant future where Aku rules the Earth and most of the galaxy. Adopting the nom de guerre "Jack", our hero must somehow find a way back through time to prevent this timeline from ever happening while facing off against aline bounty hunters, robot commandoes, assorted monsters, and the shapeshifting Aku himself, all while bringing hope and liberation to the people who Aku has oppressed and enslaved.I can't say enough good things about this show. It won scads of awards (including several Emmys) during it's original run and deserved each one. The cinematography, animation and storytelling are without equal. The best episodes often have little or no dialogue at all, but they don't need it. The visuals speak for themselves. Just buy this thing!
