Uuuggghh...wow...I don't know. I mean, I know all the guys over there working on it...and godbless them..but we all find Kaijudo to be one of the worst shows ever. They had such a hard time finding people that wanted to work on it. They have one Moi doing the animation, but its Moi's "D" team...the worst of that studio..cause none of the animators wanted to work on that atrocious show either. But hell...if it keeps my buddies employed, I'm all for it.

I guess that says everything, I couldn't stand shows like Young Justice but I adore Kaijudo, it has better animation, better action, better writing, better characters...better everything. If Young Justice is the A game and Kaijudo is the Z game, give me more Z!

I can't even begin to think of another show that has such a diverse group. It's nice to see and really widens the scope of the show.

And that racism and the dynamics of different cultures all have a direct impact on the story and the characters, so it doesn't just all feel token.

Seriously? But it seems like such a well done show made by people that care about things like a cohesive plot and character development.

I will admit that I wasn't crazy about the character designs at first but I got used to them.

I think my favourite monster is Razorkinder so far, that thing is nightmare fuel for something out of a kids cartoon, looking at what happens when it removes its mask, I mean that literally....

For a kid show advertising a card game, I quite like how adult Kaijudo feels. It doesn't seem like there's any sugar coating involved at all, and I liked what I saw of the opening, but my plate is full enough as it is and I really don't need to add another show ontop of what I'm watching.

I honestly didn't expect much from it to be fair but now I don't want to watch anything else, I'm in love.

I miss network television having really good cartoons on Saturday morning. Now a couple of things ruined it, I know. Cartoon Network was one of them. It made Saturday morning less special, because now you can see SWAT Kats all the time (Boomerang, Love it). But what really destroyed the quality of Saturday morning cartoons was 4Kids.TV and heavy-handed censorship. Blatent heavy-handed censorship.
I really miss FoxKids having cartoons on in the afternoon instead of some stupid ignorant sitcom. One thing you should know about me, upfront, I hate Sitcoms. I hate sitcoms with the same frothing furver as I hate Quantam Ranger. But that's neither here nor there.
I really wish why we assume kids are so delicate now and need constant coddling. I grew up watching Gi-Joe battle Cobra, Optimus Prime stomping mudholes in Mgeatron's backside, Exo-Squad and it's excellent storytelling, and Jem teaching me women can transform into pop stars. I turned out alright.

It's just sad is what it is. Now we do have some decent cartoons now, some. Clone Wars is alright, and I enjoyed Young Justice before it was cancelled for that steaming pile of Titans. But The Batman (Sorry in advance Locke) will never hold a candle to the beauty that was Batman: The Animated Series. Teen Titans Go! will never be Exo-Squad. And Sonix X wishes it was Phantom 2040. By the way, I loved Phantom 2040.

When I have children? They'll learn about the One Ring, the Madman in a Blue Box, the many Ways of the Force, how to play Quiddich, and that Sherlock can solve anything. They'll learn the Power of Greyskull, about the wisdom contained inside the AllSpark, about the Batman who defends the night, that as the sunsets Gargoyles come to life, and that Friendship is Magic.

Parenting. Do it right. Okay, half-asleep rant over. Resuming normal service.

Man I dunno how Kaijudo gets away with some of this stuff, these monsters actually...kill each other, even if they don't die and some of them are armed with real weapons. Plus the Shadow Spies, with the nails sticking out of their heads... *shudder*, I know it's just a kids show but the Dark Civilisation gives me the willies. Although Razorkinder is my favourite ironically

Although Bob's sister, being a dragon with gatling guns comes in a pretty close second.

It's absolutely fantastic bro! It mixes the 90s animation maturity (basically it doesn't assume kids are retarded) with the kind of characters and banter that would make Joss Whedon nod his head approvingly, complete with wonderfully consistent animation, fantastic monster designs and an awesome blend of stunning action and great character drama. I wish I didn't have to go to bed, I don't want to stop watching.
