Summary: An animation must-have
Comment: If you have seasons 1-3 and are reading this to see if you should get Season 4, then without any doubt spring for this set. If you don't have Seasons 1-3, maybe you want to watch the series in order. The series got better with each season, so there would be no harm watching the show beginning here, if you so wished. Do not expect any final episode on this disc. There isn't one (yet). At this stage in the series there was much more reliance on action and visuals than on trivialities such as plot and dialog. I kid you not. The voice-over sessions for many episodes were probably over with in 5 minutes, and the series is none the worse for it. The characters who are fleshed out through dialog (such as the Scotsman or Da Samurai) are wonderfully over-the-top.
I'm not sure when a child is too young to watch this. Only robots get hacked up, but the cartoon can get spooky, and I guess violent too. And Aku is pretty mean throughout.

Summary: Essential for the completist
Comment: There are strong points all the way through the Samurai Jack series, and the final light-and-dark sequence in "Jack vs. the Ninja" is worth the price of this set on its own.

If I had any criticism, it would be the last of closure in the final episodes, but maybe one of these days we'll get that Samurai Jack movie that Tartakovsky has been talking about for so long.

Summary: For the love of Jack
Comment: One of the best animated series in years. This Samurai had the right mix of drama and action. Good verse evil wrapped up in fun art and animation. It should have had at least one more season but as we know the good die young. Still great show along that dexter's lab kinda show.

Summary: Hope You Get Home Somehow, Samurai Jack
Comment: We watched Samurai Jack as a family and loved it. We'd come to the tv when the new episode was coming on - we couldn't wait to see it. I think my husband and I loved the artwork the most in this show - we'd be so amazed at how beautiful the art and colors were. We had great fun watching Samurai Jack together.

Season 4, the last Season - we tried to catch all the episodes on tv and were very sad that the very last episode did not allow us to see Jack getting home. The series didn't seem to have a polish to it near the end. We were really very disappointed that we were just left hanging at the end, that episode being like any other episode in the series, in where you're still hoping for him to get home and you have no satisfaction of finality either.

Regardless of this disappointing detail, this series, the show, the story, the writers, the illustrators, and the creator gets 5 stars from us! We're very happy to own the entire series. Thank you for putting it out on DVD for us.

Side note: We loved Mako's voice as Aku, and when we started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, we realized right away that Uncle Iroh and Aku's voice were the same. Through this we learned a little about Mako and his life, and truly enjoyed his voice-acting work in these two of our favorite animated series.

Summary: a new american mythology
Comment: Season 4 is a collection of polished tales creating a strong new American mythology, with diversity, tolerance, believability and power. It is not the usual Disney stuff, which I find to be pandering and shallow. Tartakovsky and friends have spent a great deal of care crafting complex plots that make you feel proud to be witnessing the battle by Jack (the hero, the Renaissance Everyman, the confident and accomplished youth of America) against Evil (the devious, ubiquitous, shameless, deplorable Aku) in his attempt to return to a more ideal time when the battle was winnable. Episode 51--the education of jack-- is the epitome, for me, of all the tales; but they are ALL exhilarating, intelligent, a joy to watch, a delight to discuss, and deeply satisfying from a moral and philosophical point of view.

When Jack is banished to the bleak future, his physical discipline and stoic nature make him a timeless hero to citizens of all worlds. Jack fights diligently in his quest to rid the world of Aku's curse while also searching for the time portal that will finally take him home.
