I'll watch it to check out the puppeteering, but I don't expect much else. I'm not a sucker for eastern fantasy and the designs of the puppets look generic as hell.

I enjoyed this WAY more than I thought I would. It's pretty bad-ass.

Looks like a lot of people on this board have never seen Pili or Golden Light before.
If you haven't, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiJEdqxf7R4 But even still, the story, characters, and action of Thunderbolt Fantasy top anything that Pili or Golden Light can dish out. And they've been doing it for 40 years. |
There are more Puppet Dramas?! I am strangely in love with this stuff.

Tokusatsu in its proto state began as travelling puppet dramas featuring heroes and monsters. Performers would go from town to town and put on shows for people featuring various heroes. (the very first tokusatsu superhero came from these shows) This was also a tradition in China and it's pretty cool to think of them as a branched evolution. Puppet shows in Japan lead to tokusatsu programs while those in China lead to actual puppet TV dramas. |
I watched episode one and well... it's pretty awesome. The puppeteering, fight choreography and effects are all great. Story seems rather generic but hey, it's only the first episode.
I'll continue watching for sure. Quote:

This scene right here is one of my favorite fights in all of Pili: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_Ab_3Z5Ugg |
That is fantastic to learn about. I'll see about getting into others but I am loving Thunderbolt Fantasy right now. Episode 2 was a blast I love Shou Yun Xiao, The Sharp-Eyed Impaler that was a fantastic fight scene with him.
