I've seen every episode, all three seasons. It has a more mature storyline then for just "children" it's geared more for teens. 13-14 year olds I'd say.
I believe it is the best cartoon Americans have ever made. Yes, it is animated by Koreans, but the story plot is American made. It's one of those stories that only gets better as it advances. Watch the first couple of episodes, if it's not your kind of thing, no real loss. |

If you're viewing it for the fighting styles, which there are plenty of, and if you're as knowledgeable of styles as you appear to be Tenchu, you'll have fun identifying them as there is a distinct one for each "element". It even gets better in the 2nd and 3rd season where more characters are introduced with individual styles and more time and care is devoted to them. The person the creators referred to is Sifu Kisu, maybe you've heard of him. As a show, the beginning is a bit childish, yes, however it definitely becomes more mature in the 2nd and 3rd season. Very good show, certainly better than most anime I've seen. |

When you create a world inspired by Asian culture and mythology you should probably use Asian people. I mean it would be like if they cast black people or asian people in Lord of the Rings. (Fantasy inspired by European culture and mythology) |

Key word here being inspired. They didn't case Inuits as Sokka and Katara, but most of the citizens making up the other kingdoms will be African Americans, Asians, Indians, etc. M. Night specifically chose the lead roles, as in he personally flew them out to audition.

I don't think the themes will be powerful enough for me to get over it either... after all, it's based on a childrens cartoon. |
