At the end of the discussion, Genndy talks about how he was burnt out by all the work and decided to end the show without resolving anything. A few clips from the show were shown followed by a discussion on everything from designs to color in that particular episode. The 7 talk about how they came together and how challenging the show was in that each episode took place in a new location. A 53 minute "Genndy's Roundtable" discussion between 7 crew members who worked on character designs, scripts, storyboards, coloring, etc. One can hope we will get more details on these projects shortly.Ĥ.

A 4 minute extra titled "Genndy's New Projects." Genndy takes us inside his new animation studio (Oprhanage) and shows off artwork from an upcoming Viking series and a family show. Aside from a few sentences, the audio is unfinished and the scene is little more than an extended cut.ģ. French: Dolby Stereo 2.0 and Spanish: Dolby Stereo 2.0 tracks were the other 2 audio options.Ģ. The sound team certainly went all out in creating a detailed and exciting world for Samurai Jack to explore. The music, dialogue, background noises, and especially the action are rich in sound and only amplify the excitement. Sound: The disk includes an outstanding English: Dolby Stereo 2.0 track. I personally wish the show was entirely in widescreen as it looks more cinematic. Note: The show sometimes converts to widescreen for a few shots.

A bad move on the writers part.Īside from blurry edges and a few noticeable lines in the background, the full screen picture quality perfectly captures the variety of colors in the landscapes, weather, character designs, and everything in between. Instead of Jack trying to destroy Aku (which is his life goal) and save the world from death and destruction, he and Aku are too busy playing hide-and-seek games. The worst episode is hands down "Jack Versus Aku." What made the episode so frustrating is that the story could have been resolved in this one episode. The Bounty Hunter episode was a nice departure as the episode focused entirely on 6 Bounty Hunters planning a trap for Jack. The episode clearly contrasts both good and evil. Hyde" tale about Jack turning into an Aku like monster. The stand-out episodes are "The Aku Infecion" and "The Princess And The Bounty Hunters." The Infection episode was an intriguing "Dr. XLVII: Jack And The Flying Prince And Princess
XLIV: The Princess And The Bounty Hunters Some episodes like "Samurai Versus Ninja" are deadly serious, while others like "Scotsman Saves Jack" are nothing more than a self-parody with more "Star Wars" references than you can shake a stick at. In addition, Jack is wildly uneven in tone. "Avatar: The Last Airbender" has shown how epic and grand animated kids shows can be by creating massive story arcs and deep characterization. Suffice to say, you are left wanting more. Having Jack wander the world and defeat robot crabs and bounty hunters and save people is fun for awhile, but not for four seasons. What "Samurai Jack" sorely needs is more of a story. Whether Jack controls a giant Samurai robot in a Godzilla-esque battle or fights a horde of robot bounty hunters, each battle is unique. Despite episodes having longer than needed action build ups or filler (do we really need to see 3 minutes of water dripping or thumb wrestling?), the action is fast and furious. It's basically an animation fans dream come true. Much like in Genndy Tartakovsky's "Clone Wars" series, the episodes contain bundles of lush locales and inventive shots/styles. There is no denying that "Samurai Jack" is one of the best looking animated shows to hit the small screen. Along his journey Jack faces killer robots and meets friendly helpers such as the Scotsman. Jack wanders the world in search of a time portal where he can go back to the past and defeat Aku. Jack is stuck in a future where the evil Aku rules.
On the other hand, "Samurai Jack" is lacking what most of those talky cartoons have- stories. In an age where cartoons are stuffed with an insane amount of loud mouthed characters, it was nice to kick back and watch a quieter, more poetic show. In watching "Samurai Jack" season 4, I was happy to find a lack of dialogue.
