    Not great as the American version

    I remember watching this Japanese anime TV series when I was in my early twenties. It was shown on RTÉ 2 in the early 2010s. It's OK for myself but it's not great as the American version. It's also not good as the other Japanese anime TV series such as Dragon Ball, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! Either.

    It's kinda bland and ridiculous.

    I think I always prefer to the American version over Stitch! I'd say the American version is definitely way better than that silly Japanese anime version.

    I'm afraid I'll have to forget about Stitch! And move on.

    I wish that Japanese anime TV series never existed.

    Luckily Stitch! Isn't available on Disney Plus (UK and Ireland). I think it is apparently only available in Japan. Thank goodness.

    Stupidly awkward anime is stupidly awkward

    First of all, character designs don't match up. I have no idea about you guys but...whenever I see big cute (shojo) eyes or those wacky anime hairstyles. It just comes off as weird for me, same thing with the expressions. Do you know those "Sweat Drops" or the "Blank White Eyes" (Okay those two were from TV Tropes but you get the idea)

    Mixing anime with the wonderful fluent animation of Disney is...ehhhh...not good. It just comes off as weird.

    Let's compare this to something like...Kingdom Hearts. Which also had an "anime character with cartoons" The video games are very fluent. Sora moves fluently with the other characters throughout the game.

    So why doesn't work here?

    Anime sort of has a "limited animation" feel to it. Like only one thing moves throughout the entire scene. (mouth, arms, etc.) Just ONE thing. If you compare it to the first movie and sequel, you'll notice how fluent the movies were. (Video games are done with CG3D)

    Also, the voice acting is WAY off. Lots of the characters BARELY sound like they're supposed to (when comparing to the original movies or the American TV series) You'll notice a significant difference.

    and one more thing...Half the characters shouldn't be there. Sometimes it feels it feels like the cast belongs on Tokyo Mew Mew. (Don't get me started)as for the rest of it...all I can say is there is only so much cutesyness I can take...BLEGH...

    This is an awesome thing.

    I can't believe stitch got his own anime I can't wait to watch it.

    Hilarious and entertaining show.

    I feel like any opposition is from people who are obsessed with the original series. I like the movies but this is tremendously better, not remotely childish, the episodes are dynamic, funny, great characters, great comedy. The third season is the best one although it takes place in a different location and I love the blend between mythology and science fiction it creates introducing alien and yokai characters.

    • Trivia
      The series itself initially did not actually connect to previous entries in the Lilo & Stitch (2002) franchise until the third season episode "Lilo" (in which an adult Lilo Pelekai appears with a daughter that looks incredibly like her when she was young) firmly established the anime series as taking place years after the events of Leroy & Stitch (2006), the finale of Lilo & Stitch: The Series (2003). Prior to "Lilo", the English dub made attempts to connect the anime to the rest of the franchise, which unfortunately led to many plot holes as this show was non-canon.
