Glad to see Cartoon Network's putting out a show where some 14-year old filmed a bunch of his little action figures on his cell-phone camera, and thrown in some fresh hip-hop beats.

A sure fire hit.

heh, shows like this make me glad I work on Saturday nights.... I saw the commercial for this and I was like. "WAAAAAAAH!? THEY LOOK LIKE CRAZED BARBIE DOLLS! Is this a Japanese show or american? (It's crazy enough to be Japanese...lol.. (Not meant to be offensive btw...) It kinda reminds me of the power rangers/other stuff like that stuff... you know?

So..is it so cheap that you can see the strings and stuff?

Why is CN showing like live action things? I mean the Movies, and now this? I thought it was CARTOON network...O.o

LOL, come on guys, it wasn't that bad was it? I just saw an episode and it only killed 68749 of my brain cells. besides, I think it's more of a comical thing. but the action part stinked! "Wee! I'm a little doll, flying around with a fan blowing in my face to make my hair look cool but hey, that's the reason I miss all the time. it's because I can't see!! and when it comes to swords! I swing e'm around like their tooth picks!" yeah that stinks. they should have made that their theme song.

I guess CN is suffering from MTV Syndrome. It really is a horrible disease... it already claimed G4, and now it's got its clutches on CN.... Oh, the humanity!

But come on, the characters are *supposed* to be samurai ninjas or something like that, but they're walking around talking like people talk nowadays, saying stuff like "Yo, whassup!?" I think they tried too hard to be funny, and in the process made it completely stupid. I didn't necessarily like Teen Titans that much, but TT was *way* better than Wulin Warriors.

Me and my cousins make movies with action figures and stuff, and it's probably better than whatever this is.

Well, some of the stuff we did is, uh... very very very NOT Politically Correct (i.e., the "Gayd" commercial and terrorist torture spoof... you didn't hear/read that *cough* >_> ).

What it should`ve been rated: MA

Only mature people can sit there and not die from the stupidity of this show. If that even makes sense. Or is it the oposite?

It is Y7 for Fantasy Violence.

I only found one line worth watching it. The thing about the owl was funny.

It's Taiwanese, and the original version is evidentally the hottest action show in Taiwan.

Why is CN showing like live action things? I mean the Movies, and now this? I thought it was CARTOON network...O.o

To be fair, Wulin Warriors is a live-action cartoon.

man, I feel sorry for Taiwan. but yeah, I think the only funny part was the owl. that's it. the rest was junk. but that's my opinion. my sister just LOVES the show (which only proves that she isn't human) but yeah, I'd say it's for little kids that don't have brains. not adults or teens @_@

I am now in favor of giving Taiwan back to China!

I think this was one show that made me wish for the good ol' days when Toonami was still running SD Gundam.

...What? Dude, no. Just no.

The best show Toonami ever ran: Ronin Warriors.

Because sometimes I just need my fix of terrible 80s action cartoons.

I only watched it because Sean Schemmel is in it.

Also, to laugh at it's superior crappiness.

Heh.

A few Taiwanese fans of the original show, called Pili, have arrived at Toon Zone just to express their displeasure at this hack job. Awesome.

BTW, I've seen clips of the original show on Google Video, and it's like, really good. Honest.
