Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023)
Ninjago is BACK and STRONGER THAN EVER
I was blown away by the first season of Ninjago: Dragons Rising. After multiple, what I think are failed seasons produced in Ninjago from 2019-2022, the show is BACK, and PACKS A PUNCH! The 22 minute episode format is back again, which I think is great, and fits the show really well. The graphics and details are exceptional and top notch, in what I think are the best graphics in all of the previous seasons of Ninjago. The new main characters of Arin, Sora, and Wyldfyre, and the antagonists of Lord Ras and Emperor Beatrix are exceptionally well written, giving me great hope for future seasons of this show. The soundtrack is awesome and carries the show greatly, as always. The plot does not seem rushed as in the other episodes in the Wildbrain era, and the plot builds and stacks up in a great way. The lore of Ninjago is deepened by a great extent by the events of the Merge, which opens up a lot of new opportunities. Overall, this might be the best season behind those in the Oni trilogy (Sons of Garmadon, Hunted, March of the Oni). Definitely 10/10 stars from me, can't wait to what new stuff this show has to offer.
Ninjago (2019)
Great show
This second era of Ninjago was very great and enjoyable. However, the new animation style, and the 11 minute long episodes did not sit well with me, and I think the story did not progress as well. Wildbrain did do a fine job, but i still like the WilFilm seasons better, especially 8 and 9. The final season, Crystalized, left a bad taste in my mouth, as it did for many other Ninjago fans. The story just did not sit well, and it ruined multiple important character arcs that already had perfect endings (examples: Nya, Harumi, Overlord). The episodes are still enjoyable, however, and I think Seabound is the best season Wildbrain has produced. The music by Jay Vincent, Michael Kramer, and The Fold are exceptional as always, and really carry the show. Overall, solid second era of Ninjago, 7/10.
