Good Times with Weapons

They really outdid themselves on this one! It stays true to kids being kids and adults not knowing what the hell is going on. Also the scene which the boys explqin what kind of Ninja they are is absolutely great and very distinct to the characters even with butters. The plot twist at the end is great and really speaks volumes! One of the best and my favorite episode! A shame the show forgot it was about the kids in later seasons.

South Park is known nowadays for having pretty mediocre and even bad season premieres, but I think the older seasons (specifically seasons 1-8) usually nailed it with the premiere, and this is no different. This is one of the first, if not the first episode to have its own unique animation. Taking heavy inspiration from anime, the episode follows the boys playing ninja, and the anime is meant to show us their perspective. Butters, and even Craig's gang get up in the mix, and this is when the show decides to have awesome fight scenes between them, and even a song that pokes jabs at anime intros. If you love South Park you'll love it, if you love anime you'll love it. It's pretty much a win win episode.

A classic! Hilarious! This episode is peak South Park! But they're wearing shirts with giant holes in them in the middle of a Colorado winter for like most of the episode, so that knocks points
