There haven't been a lot of decent cartoons out there recently, so it is becoming really hard for people to find something that they actually like. However, this one feels different. It has a really nice and consistent animation style and the story feels really fresh enough to make it stand out with the competition.
The show was originally at a low 8/high 7 score but recently went down due to somebody making accounts or a mob of people rating the show down. Monkie Kid now has a 6.9 while the specials have 6-4 ratings when they were originally much higher since their release. Please ignore the review bombing, give this show a chance and give it a good review to help out. It is. Actually ridiculous this keeps happening on this website and nobody is doing anything.

When I first got into this I wasn't expecting a whole lot. I knew it'd be pretty good but my other favorite show had just finished up so I thought nothing could top it.
This show topped it by a landslide. The animation is gorgeous, the characters are endearing, the voice acting and the MUSIC SCORE both invoke so much emotion and either one or both is guaranteed to cause goosebumps for me.
Is this show objectively near perfect? No. There are some writing choices that don't make sense but man this is just such eye and ear candy that always makes me feel whatever emotion it's trying to make me feel.
It's a show that's definitely flawed when you're thinking about it from a critical standpoint, but when you're caught up in the moment watching it, or replaying your favorite episodes in your head, or just thinking about all those phenomenal scenes, it feels near perfect.
MK may seem like a basic protagonist at first but not even going to lie, him, Wukong, Macaque, Azure, and Lady bone demon are some of the best written characters I've ever seen.
I'd recommend checking out BendoBricks YouTube video where he talks about Mk as a protagonist, it's really insightful.
With all that said, please give this show a try.

Probably one of the best shows I've ever watched. The animation is fluid, the designs are amazing, the art style is amazing, the designs are amazing, and I could go on about the characters for hours. So many beautiful fight scenes and well-animated action. Flying Bark never disappoints!
The episodes are short but the pacing makes up for it. It doesn't feel like they're cramming as much as they can into episodes or anything, it just feels... Natural. They do what they can with the time they have and it works.
The special 40 minute episodes are wonderful too, and are required for you to watch in order to understand the plot, so keep that in mind if you're looking to watch it.
Also keep in mind that the style grows into itself over time. Excuse poor jokes and hilariously bad frames from the first season, I promise it gets better and it'll be worth it.
Season 1 serves as a wonderful introductory to the characters and the world they live in, as well as their bonds with one another. It establishes what needs to be established and gets you comfortable with the premise. Not extraordinary by any means, but it gets the job done and is a generally fun watch.
I'd love to review the rest of the seasons in detail, but I implore you to simply watch and see for yourself It isn't perfect but it's more than good enough to get 10 stars from me. The story is just, *chefs kiss*. Trust me when I say you should watch this show. You won't regret it.

The show is well animated with one of the best over arching storylines as well as fun characters with amazing story arcs. Everything from the cinematography to the music composition is OUTSTANDING. The voice actors are also phenomenal. And the animation is nothing less than STELLAR. They spared absolutely no expense in any aspect. I'd give it a 100/10 if I could. If you haven't seen the show I can't recommend it enough! Pls don't listen to the 1 star reviews and look at it for yourself! I'd say the series stands on its own and the show can speak for itself in terms of how good it is. One of the best UNDERRATED ongoing animated series to come out since 2020! Pls give it a shot!
Flying Bark Productions animation has once again raised the bar. I have never seen a lego property look so good hand drawn. The Artwork and backgrounds are something to admire and the characters in the show are lovable. It is clear that this studio has improved their craft since their work on the ROTMNT. I hope this cartoon releases in the US and isn't obscure or difficult to find.
