Samurai Jack Season 1

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

I had watched other shows on Cartoon Network, but this is a cut above just about everything on there. There is something for almost everyone and yet, this is one show that has never lost its focus and neither has its main character. The style of the art is a bit bizarre and stylized but so was both Dexter’s Lab and Powerpuff Girls. in fact that style was carried over into Samurai Jack when one could see the Archeologist Dogs digging up the remains of Townsville. For the sake of the younger set, oil has replaced blood in those fight sequences, but it doesn’t render them any less brutal. From the beginning we see that Jack, as he is ultimately called is not a man to mess with, but that he is honorable, humble and polite. He is willing to help others and thus manages to acquire some very unusual allies. While he is not superhuman he is capable of some astonishing feats. Like any man, he can laugh, become angry, lose patience and even tire, but he is learning to come to grips with that. In season one, he is learning the ropes to where he has been thrown and is still fairly young and innocent as he meets with strange creatures and battles strange monsters–with the ever present shadow of his greatest Nemesis Aku watching his every move only to intervene when it becomes clear Jack is about to reach his goal…..-Betty L.

I remember watching this show on Cartoon Network every week for a new episode. It was a great series and this is the beginning of it. They don’t make cartoons like they used to. I don’t know what happened. At one point they had grade a shows like Ed edd and eddy, DBz, dragon ball, yu yu haka show, courage the cowardly dog, code name kids next door and this show. A good story and a fun watch. Hurry and get caught up because sooner or later they are going to make a movie for this show to bring this show to a acceptable conclusion. The last episode on season 4 is kind of a cliff hanger. If your looking for show that is fun to watch for both kids and adults alike then this is the show for you.-kyle mcpherson

The announced release of the first season of the brilliant animated series, Samurai Jack, is a genuine cause to rejoice! Finally, a studio understands the value of an animated series in a timely manner. One can only hope that other studios will get the message that animated properties can and are just as popular as live-action series and movies.
Samurai Jack was created by the multi-talented and truly gifted Genndy Tartakovsky, who also created the fantastic Dexter’s Laboratory. Samurai Jack combines innovative and imaginative storytelling with a captivating animated style that is at once simple and evocative. The series tells the story of a Japanese samurai who has embarked on an epic mission to fight evil and save his world.
In the distant past, the samurai, who calls himself “Jack,” is the son of an emperor captured by the evil Aku, a shape-shifting wizard. The young Jack is sent away not only to survive but to train his mind and body in all forms of martial arts so that he will eventually be capable of vanquishing Aku.
Jack returns as an adult and reunites with his mother who gives him the sacred sword of the samurai to defeat Aku and rescue his father.
Armed with the sword, Jack is on the verge of a final confrontation with Aku when Jack is literally ripped from his own time by the evil wizard and hurtled thousands of years into the future — a future where Aku has already become the all-powerful evil lord who controls the world and all living beings.
Jack begins anew, working not only to right the wrongs Aku has visited on the population of this future world, but ultimately to return to his own time and stop Aku before the nightmarish future he has seen can even be realized.
Mature themes including the true meaning of courage, morality, responsibility, faith, despair, good and evil are explored as Jack struggles, and risks his life time and again to overcome what at first appears to be a force that is all-powerful and unstoppable. However, through Jack’s insights and pure heart, viewers come to realize there is hope, not just for Jack, but for any society in which just one individual risks it all against tyranny and evil.-E.
