Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness

The "Kung Fu Panda" movies are all amazing (especially the second movie). And now, here we got the TV series. "Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness". The TV series tells the story of Po and the Five against evil. Well, i gotta say the TV series didn't looked as great as the movies. The animation isn't like "super-duper good", it's alright, but i kinda liked the animation they used in the movies better. Although, "Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness" ain't that bad of a TV show. The story is kinda lacking with some weird plot holes, but i say it's okay. In fact, i saw an episode of the TV show and i really enjoyed it. It still got the great sense of humor and the awesome fight scenes just like in the movies. I don't know what other people think about it, but i really liked the TV show. If you're a big fan of the "Kung Fu Panda" movies, then you'll might like this one too

8/10

Well, I'm actually surprised with this show. It's definitely not as good as 2 films.

Animation is worse than in the movies, but not that bad. My only remark is that they sometimes use the same model for different characters, only changing the color of the robes. But even Disney is doing that. TV series cant spend as much money as for the movies. For example Aladdin TV series. Every male child looked like a miniature Aladdin, with same hairstyle.

Voice acting is GREAT. Voice actors are so convincing (except Tigress), they sound like their movie counterpart, especially Mick Wingert as Jack Black. And John DiMaggio and Richardson are great as Fung and Temutai.

Story is OK, with one or two plot holes.

New characters are good. Maybe little clichéd, but they're not annoying (for example "Aladdin" had Abyss Mall the worst cartoon character in history!!!). Some of the villains are even great, like Junjie and Temutai.

Overall, the show is decent. Nothing special, but if you liked Kung Fu Panda, you're like this too.

The one thing I'll always remember from this show is the fight scenes. They were simply amazing. Easily among the best fights I've ever seen. And they don't carry the show either. Every episode I saw had good jokes and interesting stories. The Furious Five get a lot of development, though I'll admit it was mostly just Monkey or Tigress. And I always loved Po. He was funny and really brought life into the show.

I become interested to this series after i watched the fourth movie which i don't really like. So what's make this series weak?

First this series (i think isn't canon) considering how it has many new powerful spell and magic, new lore that make no sense, and how they make the character have their personality as how the director like it, like they actually changing from one to another episode.

Second this series doesn't have a major continues story from one to another episode. I mean there are some story that progress but even in the end they give new villain instead, i mean they could make the last 10 episodes about Po sweep out the original villain in this series or get rid of them forever or such, the point is there are no real story between episodes it's just one new story about how they fight a villain and so on and so on.

Third they make some characters dirty, like there are an episode of furious five quitting or another where Shifu being such a jerk and unwise like how he is, and most importantly how Po being a complete brain dead like this series came out between the first and the second, while actually it's timeline after the second and before the third where Po should already get the inner peace and know kung fu better.

Some other things that i don't really like but not that much of a problem like the episodes doesn't contain an episode that only focus to one other character beside Po, at least that character get more screen time than Po. The animation and choreography obviously not as good as the movies but it is understandable.

I give it 7 because well it's enjoyable and i oftenly laughing watching this series. Despite all that weak points i think at the end one thing that matter the most is "are you enjoying it?", and yes i enjoyed it. Just take my brain of and watch this series with Po doing the most ridiculous thing imaginable. And of course furious five is here even though without their og voice actor.

It's the continuing adventures of Po, the Dragon Warrior. He and his friends, the Furious Five, protect the Valley of Peace under the guidance of Shifu from various villains.

This brings the cinematic cartoon onto the TV screen. There are a couple actors reprising their voice work. Mostly, it's new people recreating the memorable voices. The characters and the work is very similar to the cinematic franchise except there are no big 3D action. The stories are nice and the characters are fun. There is nothing offensive or terribly edgy. This is a fine family cartoon for the younger crowd and adults should be fine watching it with them.
