Xiaolin Showdown - Season One

My kids loved this show

take me back to my childhood day waking up early to watch my shows.

I was so glad to purchase season 1 of xiaolin showdown. It was refreshing and entertaining to watch

This series is among the greatest in cartoons. The show is advertised purely for entertainment yet it still delivers a message at the end of it all. You can tell the voice actors were just having a blast recording this. There was no getting accustomed to their roles; they WERE the characters. With brilliant writing, throughly explained plots, and authentic characters who grow and develop into these warriors, you cannot help but feel a similar growth in you. Hands down, a definite watch. I watched this show growing up as something to pass the time but watching it again years later, you can appreciate the time and effort the developers invested to deliver such a great product. They expertly blend Eastern mysticism and Western humor and the whole time you are immersed in this complete world, chock full of surprises and personality. The characters are distinct from one another and you see them interact with each other in their own unique ways. With high replay value, an amazing story, and a satisfying ending, Xiaolin Showdown can't help but rank among the best. If you have not seen this show, pick it up and watch it. You'll be begging for more after every episode.

I am an big fan of anime and I think the format itself has taken an interest for us to take advantage of it. It has led to heavenly influenced shows like Avatar: the last airbender, The Legend of Korra, and (personality my favorite) Samurai Jack. Xiaolin Showdown is no exception.This show is about a group of teenagers living under the guidance of monks that are saving the world by collecting all the mystical items called the sen-gong-yu from evil forces of Yu-ya and Jack Spicer. And when two forces get the items, a Xiaolin Showdown happens. I do not want to spoil anything of the first season or the series in general because this show is pretty awesome.I loved watching it as a kid and even as an adult now I still love show. Why because it has action scenes that have life in them, characters that you actually care about, writing that is tight as a seatbelt, and humor that actually works (including the dragon called Do-go, love him).If you love anime as much I do, you may love this show. If you are looking some action cartoons, then I highly recommend you this tv series.

The first thirteen episodes, presented in this volume, ingratiate you to all the heroes, villains, and recurring characters that appear throughout the series. If you're here, you likely already know the show, so let me get to the set.The set is typical, with the thirteen episodes spread out over two discs. The first disc contains the first 7 episodes, and the second disc has the last 6 episodes of the first (2003-04) season. I was suprised to find (from the second-to-last episode, and purely by accident) that each episode has six chapters. This is very unorthodox for shows like this (of 22 min), but it's good to have.The menus are very simple and don't really seem to have much flow to them. To tell the truth, most, if not all, of the menus look like they were derived from Kids' WB! wallpapers.The casing is average. The two discs come in a black plastic keepcase. As for the cover design... it's a bit uninspiring, but at least there's new art on the front. As you've likely heard, the character formation on the back of the case is not in continuity with the show.With all that said, the best I can give this set is a four out of five. The lack of extras was disappointing, as well as the fact that the thirteen episodes ended on a cliffhanger. But, the best feature of this set (aside from the episodes in their crisp and clear presentation) is the inclusion of chapter marks in every episode (though, I doubt that I'll ever use them).- Fh

I honestly hadn't thought about Shaolin Showdown in years then suddenly I was like I need to see this series again, the Shen Gong Wu are awesome, Jack Spicer is hilarious and my top favorite person (Wuya) just can't seem to catch a break.

I was excited to buy this to show my son, and the show is as good as I remember!

Je suis intéressé par la série.

ist angeschriben worden in deutsch bekommen hab ich es auf englisch lol ned ok

I ordered this for my autistic teen who loves the show. They watched the first disc repeatedly before moving to the second disc. When it wouldn't work, they had a massive meltdown. So we returned the DVDs and reordered. Once again, they were really excited and then a blowout meltdown again when disc 2 wouldn't work, again blank. Sorry kiddo, its back to Youtube.

Wish they'd released the other seasons
