The imagination never flags in Episodes XIV-XXVI of Samurai Jack, Genndy Tartakovsky's Emmy-winning comedy-adventure. The artists skillfully employ design, color, and pattern to compliment the directors' use of deft cutting and split screen imagery. The resulting visuals are sharp, fresh, and appealing.
As Jack continues his quest to return to the past and destroy the evil shape-shifter Aku, the tone of the adventures shifts from dramatic to farcical and back again. In Episode XX, Jack proves his determination by climbing treacherous Mount Fatoom with three highly trained monks. The clerical trio consists of little more than pentagons with stylized faces, but their geometric simplicity plays effectively against the jagged facets of the mountain. The warriors who battle mechanical minotaurs in Episode XXV reflect the look of Greek vase paintings, filtered through the work of modern illustrators and graphic novelists. In lighter moments, Jack helps the Scotsman rescue his battleaxe of a bride from a nest of demons in Episode XVII, then plunges down a rabbit hole to visit a neon-bright Wonderland in Episode XXIV. That adventure reaches new heights of absurdity when Jack appears in drag as a princess.
The picaresque blend of comedy and adventure makes Samurai Jack one of the most significant cartoon series of recent years. Extras include a biography-scrapbook of Tartakovsky, a partial pitch for Episode XVII and a creators' commentary for Episode XXV. (Unrated, suitable for ages 10 and older: stylized violence, minor gross humor) --Charles Solomon

I have all four seasons of Samurai Jack and I am LOVING IT!!! This is an all around great cartoon for adults as well as kids. The story line is great as well as the graphics. It's an old fashion battle between good and evil with a futuristic twist. I sure hope they keep on making these cartoons.

The first season of Samurai Jack was amazing, It had it's action episodes and it's more funny ones. But this season seems to just be more on the comical side, don't get me wrong, it still has its complete action episodes, like "Jack and The Hunters" and "Jack and the Smack Back" But theirs a lot more of "comical" episodes, like "Jack and The Farting Dragon," "Jack Is Naked," and "Jack's Sandals" but this season is probably the weakest one for Samurai Jack. It's still a great season, just the weaker one out of all the SJ seasons. But if you're a big fan of SJ you'll love it regardless.
My favorite episodes:
Jack Remembers The Past, Jack and The Hunters, Jack And The Spartans, and Jack's Sandals (It's pretty funny.)
5/5 stars.

I am a grown-up animation enthusiast, and quite a fan of Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, Foster's Home and other cartoons with a cool retro-influenced design (50-60's), but this second season of Samurai Jack was a big letdown for me.
Both graphically and story-wise everything seems much poorer, less surprising and less fun, less researched than on the first season.
If you're a fan go ahead, this is still above average, but if you're looking for really outstanding stuff well you won't find anything better than season 1 here.
I'd rather recommend you to check out Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, which is sweet, funny and sometimes emotional, and looks totally amazing.
