So I just started a new show...
I figured I might as well give this show a go! I've yet to get past the first episode so I figured why not share my first impression.
First, the show's known as Xiaolin Showdown, following four students who are warriors and have to retrieve different items known as the "Shen Gon Wu", all while trying to defeat great foes. We're introduced to our short but well-spirited main character Omi and this kid is definitely sheltered but I have to enjoy his dedication- he strives to be the best. I'm not entirely sure how to feel about his character, so we'll just have to wait and see!
Then we have Raimundo, a young boy who I believe is Hispanic (?) - he's the prankster of the main four; he doesn't seem to be as concerned with what is happening, but this is just based on a first impression! I'm quite curious to see how he grows throughout the series.
Followed by Kimiko, and arguably my favorite so far, she's the only girl of the group and always seems to have a new electronic device on her person. While she does seem particularly tech-savvy, Kimiko appears to have a heart of gold and seems very free-spirited (much like the next character in point!). As before, I hardly anything about her but I'm curious about her heh-
Last in the party is Clay- a young cowboy turned monk. He's the most down to earth of all of them and honestly, is pretty chill. I can't say too much because he didn't fully have a lot of screen-time but he certainly represents his element well!
All four of them are to become the Xiaolin Dragons and protect their home while making sure these various magical artifacts can be protected and brought back to the temple in which they live. The animation of the show seems ever so slightly shoddy, though that might just be because I had to use a different site to watch it heh-
However, the lore is already proven interesting and the background characters (though especially the dragon - unfortunately I can't remember his name) are also pretty fun!
Unfortunately, the villain seems rather generic but who knows- perhaps they'll expand on his character a little more... as the series progresses because I just finished watching the first episode and am about to start the second one. Honestly, it's off to a promising start, but I still need to get a feel of the show to say the least!
The other title villain known as Wu Ya definitely has more promise than wannabe Jack Spicer but we'll see where this continues- now that I've hopped the train of warrior-ninja based shows, I cannot seem to stop but so far, the series that continues taking the lead is Randy Cunningham pfft though what's the harm in one more? We'll see where this takes me!
