Samurai Jack: Season 2

Always enjoyed, Samurai Jack.Brings back great memories.Glad to be able to purchase at a decent price

Product as described. Packaging and discs as new.

This is a continuation of a rather excellent series. While one can see clearly is Season one, Jack is learning his way around this rather strange landscape into which he has been thrown, Season Two, is a little more introspective, sometimes playful and even a bit strange, yet each story is excellently done with action and adventure. It starts off with a friendly Monkey Man who, with the help of his tribe, teaches Jack how to "Jump Good." A series of short tales and then, The Scotsman returns, seeking help to rescue his kidnapped wife. The True clinker here seems to be the "Farting Dragon" while a strange and even odd tale is reminiscent of "Alice in Wonderland" where Jack must chase a white rabbit in order to get back his clothes and sword. A small ode to the 300 Spartans in which Jack discovers a small group of warriors pitted against an enormous army of robotic minotaurs. When his footwear is destroyed he discovers that its hard to fight without the right shoes. He also learns a valuable lesson in climbing a mountain about patience and perseverance when he accompanies three monks. Each story is a one of a kind and very well done...

The second season is where Samurai Jack and the series really becomes great. This is where Jack learns to jump, falls down a hole into Wonderland, fights for the honor of his sandals, flees the best hunters in the galaxy, robot assassins, and Demongo, a collector of souls. He fights in the Dome of DOOM, helps 300 Spartans defeat an army of evil robots and a mountain helps him defeat his own inner demons. He has to deal with a gargoyle, help the Scotsman save his own wife and has to deal with the feelings that the ruins of his old home bring about. Lone Wolf and Club even make an appearance!Each and every episode is a hit. Add the extras which include one commentary, a pitch (where an artist tries to sell an idea to the others) and the scrapbook which is a small short about where Genndy Tartakovsky came from, where he got his ideas and even about his family.

Samurai Jack is the cutting edge of creativity. There is no doubt that on some episodes, such as the farting dragon episode, there is a different tone and direction. However, it shows that Tartakovsky is willing to go out on a limb. He is daring to do something different from other shows (cartoon or not). This difference is the divide between Samurai Jack and Naruto. Don't get me wrong, I love Naruto, but it lacks what nearly every T.V. show, or even movie lacks-risk. Tartakovsky is creating a legacy much like Tarantino and Zhang Yimou (Director of Hero and House of Flying Dagger). Make no mistake, Samurai Jack, in every season that will be released, will be impressive and different from each other. I personally cannot wait until the third and fourth seasons however, the Spartans episode, Emikandi Hunters, Jack Naked, Jack and the Ultra Robots, and Jack Remembers the Past offer up some of the most diverse Samurai Jack episodes. And it only gets better from here.

Samurai Jack, the groundbreaking animation series by Genndy Tartavosky that follows the young samurai stranded in the future, searching for his arch-nemesis, Aku, and a way back to the past, continues in the fantastic second season.In the last DVD we were introduced to Jack, the shapeshifting wizard Aku, and many allies and foes. In Samurai Jack: Season 2, Jack's journey continues through some of the best episodes ever produced (as well as a couple that never should have been). But the good far outweighs the bad as Jack meets old friends, explores his past, and is fully realized as a warrior of honor, skill, and some good old fashioned luck.The action reaches its peak in episodes such as XVIII (Jack and the Ultra-Robots), XXII (Jack and Imakandi), and XXIII (Jack vs Demongo, the episode that officially hooked me as a lifelong fan). Arguably some of the best action episodes of the series (out of quite a bunch!), these episodes have Jack fighting (or running) for his life before delving into his resourcefulness and inner strength for the means to defeat his foes.Jack's almost overwhelming valor in these episodes might make for a rather two-dimensional character, but we also see moments of his vulnerability in such episodes as XIX (Jack Remembers His Past) and XX (Jack and the Monks), one of my personal favorites. In the twentieth episode, after losing yet another chance to return to the past, a disheartened Jack follows three monks up the seemingly endless, nearly impossible Mount Fatoom, only to discover anew the reasons behind his journey.It's hard to decide whether Season 2 is the best of the series. But it is certainly a gem to be treasured, its mix of high-voltage action and personal reflection paving the way for some of Jack's greatest triumphs and worst moments of despair in the stunning Season 3.

After receiving Season 1 on Christmas, I just had to get Season 2 to prepare for the new season of Samurai Jack this year.This is a great season. Full of amazing storytelling, exciting action set pieces and memorable characters. Some of my personal favorite episodes from this season are Jack and the Smackback, Jack and the Ultra-Robots, Jack and the Monks, Jack and the Farting Dragon and Jack and the Spartans. If you haven't seen these episodes, go watch them now! You won't be disappointed.Now I must get my copies of Seasons 3 and 4 to complete the binge-watching.

I love this show. This is one of my favorite shows of all time, so well done and so much fun. Few shows are as unique as Samurai Jack. This is a great box set. The box art and discs look awesome. The episodes for each disc are listed on the inside with a synopsis for each so you can easily figure out which disc to pick. There are a bunch of special features as well.

Show holds up in season 2! Gets weirder but that adds to its charm

Loved it, favourite cartoon as a kid

Ottimo acquisto, era tempo che cercavo questi dvd multi regione; unica pecca è che solo questa stagione lo è, le altre tre sono solo per regione 1 e quindi visibili solo su lettori dvd americani o su computer.

Just Finished This can't wait to pick up the rest of the seasons on DVD and don't be afraid to buy from a UK seller because this is almost region free well it was about 3 region you can play it in and yes if your hoping for region 1 don't worry about which seller you buy it from North Americans are Covered.

They've done it again with season 2: excellent show! We follow Samurai Jack as he explores a brave new world and witness his overcoming of many obstacles. There is stark beauty in the animation and the plot develops the samurai even further. He has become my hero!
