This is a great show. The visuals are well done and the plotlines will leave you feeling hooked every time. Every character is fun and treated with care. There's this level of depth within each character that's admirable. The voice acting is amazing and you can tell the voice actors/actresses are having fun with their roles. What's a show without a cast having fun? If you're a fan of any story driven show, you'll enjoy this one as well. My only gripe with the show is there isn't enough time for some characters to interact well with one another. It feels like they only interact if the plot needs them to (I know it may seem like I'm asking for a lot but it's something I really enjoy within stories. That being said, this isn't something that'll break the show. It's just a personal issue I have). Outside of that, the show's on point. Checks of the necessary things a show needs: good plot, fun and interesting characters along with strong art direction. I hope you can give it a chance. It hopefully shouldn't disappoint.
I thought this was gonna be a childish show for little kids but unlike expected it's very entertaining and I like the animation style with the unique colors so I think it's definitely worth your time . It Also start developing a consistent story starting from the middle of season 2 . Ignore the ratings . Monkie kid is that kind of shows that you sleep in your bed late at night while watching without getting bored. Also the intro theme is so cool I repeat it 5 times before watching an episode. I'd say shows that are somewhat similar close to monkie kid are shows like gravity falls in terms of the vibe .
This is one of the best cartoons out there, it deserve way more attention, the animation is amazing and you can see how much the people animating love their characters, the expressions, the coolness, if I saw this as a kid I would be completely obsessed.
All the characters are very charming, althought most episodes are really short, they make it up to you but giving you amazing storytelling and animation, this show should get more attention, I hope it gets dubbed to other languages soon so the fandom can a bit more.
This is peak television honestly, anyone who haven't watched it are missing out on probably the best cartoon of this era.

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!
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.
