Samurai Jack: The Complete Series (Blu-ray)

Description: Samurai Jack: The Complete SeriesSamurai Jack: The Complete Series is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Warner Brothers with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.33:1 (for the first four seasons) and 1.78:1 (for the fifth and final season). This is a pretty remarkable upgrade from the previously released DVDs, though it looks like some elements from the first episodes, including the title sequence (which recurs thereafter) have at least some moments that have been upscaled, so that eagle eyed viewers may catch some quick moments of relatively minor stairstepping and the like. Other than this anomaly, and a kind of strange softness that accrues in some of the fourth season episodes, I can't imagine fans of this series not enjoying the presentation here. Line detail is sharp and precise looking, and the series' wonderfully diverse animation styles are rendered with clarity and a refreshing lack of issues like banding. The palette of Samurai Jack is continually appealing, and widely variant (perhaps part of its appeal), and the color space across the five Blu-ray discs is continually quite impressive. Unfortunately, the news is less spectacular with regard to the audio on this release. I'll state up front that there's nothing really "wrong" with either the Dolby Digital 2.0 mixes on the first four seasons, or the Dolby Digital 5.1 mix on the fifth and final season, but why a release of this assumed popularity is being offered with only lossy audio this far into the high definition era is a bit of a head scratcher. I personally found the amplitude on the first four seasons a bit on the anemic side, resulting in me boosting my volume a bit higher than I typically do, but with that said, all elements come through clearly enough, if often without much sonic "oomph". Things improve at least marginally on the fifth season, and the surround track does provide regular immersion courtesy of both the often evocative score choices, but also the glut of effects that attend Jack's adventures (not necessarily only with regard to Aku). My 2.5 score is a bit of a "protest" vote to register my personal displeasure that lossless audio was not included on this release, but at least rest assured that I encountered nothing truly problematic on the lossy tracks included here.
