I agreed. KAI IS SO UNDERRATED
Remember when Kai put a child’s life above his own ambition and unlocked his true potential aka who he really was and it was the most beautiful and meaningful moment in tv history
I love this, with all my heart. I really do.

Hey, you! Yeah, you! Are you looking for a good series to pick up? A series that contains:
Good and intersting plot?
Loveable characters that have character development?
Smart (and actually good) humor and script?
Will actually have a perfect execution of the above?
Well let me introduce you to…
Yep, you heard me. Ninjago. A show about a group of ninjas trying to keep everything in peace in which they can go from fighting talking snakes to flying on the air with a ship without making it “too complex” or “too rushed”. Everything runs smoothly as heckity heck and the show always makes sure to explain all the questions you might have.
But what will Ninjago teach you or offer to you, you might be wondering.
WELL, GOOD THING I’VE SUMMED UP SOME OF THE THINGS YOU’LL FIND. Obviously, this isn’t everything but I figured I should note some of the unique things the show offers.
Life lessons. As stupid as it may sound, Ninjago’s messages are one of the most powerful ones ever seen in (kids’) shows. While Ninjago is labeled as a kids’ show, its message are far from just that. Ninjago really shows a side of life that is forgotten nowadays. One of the most important ones in my opinion is that life won’t always go your way but as long as you don’t give up, you will make it through. If you can’t shape your environment, shape yourself.
The plot. No matter what happens, Ninjago’s plot always stays true to its universe. As I mentioned before, there can be a trillion things on screen but they blend in so nicely with each other that it never feels chaotic or too much. The way the story develops just feels natural. I could not ask for a better plot execution.
The characters. Just like the plot, the characters always stay true to their universe. And the best part about them? They have character development. Instead of your everyday cartoon where each character stays the same at each episode (mainly because the episodes do not follow a storyline), Ninjago’s characters develop with the plot. The characters feel alive, they really do. They are lovable, enjoyable, funny and interesting and always have something new to offer.
The voice acting. Since we are talking about how characters come to life, let’s talk voice acting! I can only speak for the English version of the series but the voice acting in Ninjago is TOP. Every character has their own unique suiting voice. The voice actors are so talented and they give their all with each performance. They certainly get into their characters’ personalities, always giving an outstanding performance. I could just have a Ninjago episode playing at another tab just to hear the voices. They are that good.
It actually shows that girl power is a thing? Not even in an “implied” way. On one of the seasons, one of the ninja’s sister (who is also a main protagonist), Nya, has to escape society’s labels about her (being sterotyped because she is the ‘only girl of the team’, being ‘forced’, in a way, to choose between two of her teamates to date because she is a girl) And Nya really fights that. She learns how to shape her own reality and how to be herself, without letting anyone force her into choosing something. Nya is a true example of a strong and independed personality.
The romance. I was hesitant about making this a reason to watch Ninjago. Honestly, whether you are in for ships or not, you should definetely watch it anyway but let me tell you… The ships in the series. They just feel real. They are not rushed, they have development, they show many different sides of romantic love (and the subject is not even the main focus of the series), how a healthy relationship is built and sometimes when it is time to stop one. Andyouknowalsothefluffbetweentwocertaincharactersisjustthepurestthingeverandhonestlyifyouwanttomissoutonthatidonotknowiamsorry
The soundtrack. Ninjago has one of the most brilliant OST I have ever seen in a series. The main guys of the OST are Jay Vincent and Micheal Kramer and the ‘songs’ songs are made by The Fold. Never have I seen a soundtrack so fitting to a series. Each scene is really brought to life with all those magnificent tunes. In fact, they are so good, that I listen to them when I write my fanfics! They help me focus a lot.
The animation. Ninjago is a LEGO series, which means the characters are, well, LEGOs. However, don’t let that discourage you from watching the series. The animation is so smooth, beautiful, detailed and just stunning to look at. I’ve been a fan of Ninjago ever since I was 6 and the fact that the characters on screen are LEGOs has never bothered me. There is only so much I can show without spoiling anything so have a scene from the first season’s intro!
Conclusion? Ninjago is on point and your soul needs it.
Okay but, in all seriousness, please consider getting into Ninjago. The creators work so hard on it (not to mention they interact with the fanbase, taking into consideration their views and opinion on the plot) that are not to disappoint. As of now, Ninjago currently has 7 seasons out, two origin episodes that take place before the first season (I recommend watching those two first), and a movie special that takes place after the 6th season. There is an upcoming 8th season and as far as we are concerned at the moment, season 9th is possibly the last one.
I’d like to finish off by saying that Ninjago is a series that really shaped the way I looked at the world. Ever since I was little, I was exposed to the show and it made me appreciate things that I would not have appreciated otherwise. I recommend it more than anything. Watch it for yourself, watch it with your kid, family friends… It’s just a very important show that deserves far more love than what it currently has. I really hope you enjoy Ninjago just as much as we, the fanbase, do!
