GreatMoose Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Maybe old news, but I'm too happy to care! http://tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?newsID=1074 May 4 release for the first 13 eps, plus new footage, making of, etc... and only $30! Quote
Blaine23 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Wow... good price, great show... that's an easy decision. Quote
Angel's Fury Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Excellent!Samurai Jack is amazing. Second to InuYasha, imo. Quote
Anubis Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 Awesome, I've been waiting for Samurai Jack to come to DVD. Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I can never watch more than 10 seconds of that show. The character designs look like cheap crap. Quote
macplus Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I can never watch more than 10 seconds of that show. The character designs look like cheap crap. So true, the story sucks too... I hate all of that guy Tartakovsky (spell?) works, way too crappy.... Later Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 13 eps for $30 isn't a bad price at all, but there's something about this show that puts me to sleep everytime. The repetitive sequences, the repeated sound effects and the pauses just add up to a big snore fest for me. BTW, if you want to check a far grittier version of this story, track down an old trade of Frank Miller's RONIN. Classic Miller stuff. Quote
the white drew carey Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 I, for one, like Samurai Jack. I think it's a fun show. Either way you look at it, though, $30 for a 13 episode set isn't something to scoff at. Quote
Capt Hungry Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 I can never watch more than 10 seconds of that show. The character designs look like cheap crap. So true, the story sucks too... I hate all of that guy Tartakovsky (spell?) works, way too crappy.... Later For me, the animation doesn't really have to be top notch all the time. The simpilicity of the animation is fine with me. I really dug Dexter's Lab for a while. There were also a few pop culture references in those episodes. Besides, don't some of you secretly wish to have a lab or hangar someplace with transformable mecha? I am ashamed to admit to watching the Powerpuff girls once or twice. The animation is simple there too, but there was one epsiode that was very entertaining. The dialogue throughout the episode was based on lyrics by the Beatles. Mojo Jojo took a girlfriend who was patterned after Yoko Ono. It was very clever. There were several references to things that Yoko and Lennon did (such as the interview in bed). I guess maybe I'm not sophisticated as some here, but I just like to be entertained and don't really need a huge all encompassing story or deep character designs. I hope someday that we'll see Jack defeat Aku. I look forward to how the conflict gets resolved. But like WDC says, $30 for a 13 episode DVD is pretty damn good. Quote
gnollman Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 I love this show. I am so buying this..... Quote
