DVD Reviews of Samurai Jack - Season 2
DVD Review: To be honest, I thought this was gonna be bad....
Summary: 5 Stars
Glad to see I was wrong. Thing is I don't have the Cartoon Network. We only have YTV and Teletoon here and they're not particularly good. I rented the Samurai Jack Premiere Movie and liked it so on a whim I bought the Season 2 set and it's actually a really good show.
In season 1, Samurai Jack was in old day Japan battling the shape-shifting demon Aku. During a fight, Aku creates a time portal which propels Jack into the future where Aku is even more powerful. So the show is basically about Jack wanting to get back to his own time and defeat Aku.
With season 2, it's basically episodic in nature. Not a lot plot-wise happens such as a companion or even a rival that isn't the main villain(similar to Him from Powerpuff Girls, when it's normally Mojo Jojo). The show is really episodic in other things too. Season opener finds Jack learning how to jump incredibly high. I haven't seen him use it again, even in one episode when he scales a mountain. He could easily clear this mountain in 2-3 jumps.
The show does excel at one thing though: style, and it showcases it in spades. The show's unique animation blends with almost movie-like angles, even employing widescreen-style and split-screen. There's even 4-screens and many other styles. This gives the show a nice unique quality you don't tend to get with other shows.
The voice actors also do a good job, despite the fact it's not a really word-y show. Phil LaMarr(Hermes and others from Futurama, or Marvin in Pulp Fiction "I shot Marvin in the face!") does a great Jack having a really calm in-control tone. Others tend to guest star or provide small voices such as John DiMaggio(Bender from Futurama, Wakka from Final Fantasy X).
It's a really stylish show, occasionally funny without being obvious(such as my other favorite Powerpuff Girls which is designed as an obvious comedy animated show), Samurai Jack is like art film in cartoon form.
