Samurai Jack: The Complete Series

Mon mari est enchanté d'avoir trouvé le coffret complet, il va enfin savoir la fin

Voor Mensen die net zoals ik fan zijn van de serie en deze altijd keken op Cartoon Network is dit natuurlijk pure nostalgie. Alle afleveringen zijn verdeeld over 5 discs. Wanneer je seizoen 5 hebt bereikt merk je dat de animaties veel beter zijn, ik had 5 zelf nog nooit gezien dit is wel een echte aanrader voornamelijk omdat het allemaal iet wat bloederiger is dan bij eedere seizoenen. Ik raad deze set absoluut aan voor fans van Samurai Jack !

Maravilloso, compila todas las temporadas de Samurai Jack con una calidad inmejorable. No tiene subtítulos en español, pero con los subtítulos en inglés basta y sobra.

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.

Cargada de simbolismos y filosofía, Samurai Jack es un dibujo animado de lo más completo y recomendado pers cualquier edad, desafortunadamente solo viene subtitulada en inglés aunque no es una serie caracterizada por diálogos largos
