A Hidden Gem that has potential!

No complaints about the CGI, it was made in 2011-2012 with a average budget. Same goes for the 2d animation, though I can admit there were some oddities in some scenes, which I found more humorous than annoying.

Something I admire is the designs of the lions, each lion has a different personality and it shows, both in size, outside details like the weapons, etc... The design of the actual team was okay? Some has more details than others, but overall okay. That's the same with the villains, liked Lotors outfit but the colour palette of his fit would sometimes not look that pleasing to the eyes. Wades outfit was very bland and grey, but pretty sure that was purposeful for his character.

Story wise, it defiantly has it's perks. Having Lotors henchman create different monsters with episodes that'd consist of character developments for each character. It's entertaining enough where you keep watching and wanting for more, but some times scenes would be a bit "Oh boy another 3 minutes of monologues where I have no idea what they're talking about". However that happens on rare occasions.

There is something I still can't grasp whether I like it or not, and that's the introduction of the apprentices. I don't mind the apprentices themselves but I didn't know why it was necessary to add them, they'd taken over more screen time than the original paladins. I wasn't a big fan of that sudden change. Though I do like the dynamics between characters, and learning more about their powers & abilities.

I hate wade for all of my lifespan. Which is a good thing, the creators really did well in making you despise their villains. Wades an old'grump with terrible fashion sense. A-okay villain to me!

Overall, 9 stars, loved it, wish there was more and wish they'd done more with this show. There's some things we'd point out now as flaws, but of course back than the perception was different. One last thing, the intro music I personally found brilliant! It's how I remembered this show after not seeing it for a whole decade. I suppose the reviews on the music really vary on what type of music they like.
