I watched a few of the openings/endings/music videos for it on youtube.

You can't tell me you didn't enjoy that just one tiny bit. :P Admit it!
They always have such an...interesting choice of music in these things.

I didn't even bother watching it, I could tell it would be lame. It seemed even more random than Bobobo bobo bobo and with worse visual effects. Code Lyoko is much better, it has a plot and some good action, though the animation drive me so mad I can't watch it.

Watched a few clips...at first I was going to say "well the effects aren't THAT bad." But I completely take that thought back. =/ I also find it strange that they'reusing Japanese words like "sensei" while the name of the show itself sounds more Chinese.

I guess after seeing some of the opinions, have some of you have sent their feeling about the show to CN's email?

It`s Wulinese. Fictional.

The show itself is Tawiwan-Made.

I like Code Lyoko.It's actually a good series.It's made in France.
As far as it goes I wish that they would do an episode that would show the background of the kids(Jeremy,Yumi,Odd and Ulrich)and how they originally got together and found Aelita and Lyoko.They did do one that showed Aelita's background and how she was really the daugther of the creator of Lyoko.
I think it would also be interesting if they would show Sissy joining the group
'cause she seems to be always at the edge of finding out what's happening.
Sorry for the off topic digression but since someone mentioned it compared to
Wulin Warriors...

I think that CN knows it'll tank.

However, it's only a 13-episode series, so it's not like it's a big loss or anything.

I'd wheter see the live action Sailor Moon.Ok,I'd rather watch Power Rangers Mystic Force as well.In fact there are probably a half a dozen shows I'd rather watch.
I bet though when it's over they put the new season of JLU in it's place.

Is there even a new season of JLU on the way. That show rules and makes me so glad that someone out there knows how to treat DC fans right.

Sorry. Anyhoo, this seems like that Liquid Television series "White Stallion" gone bad. Man, I wish someone still did Action League Now!, a Nicktoon similar to this. It'd put this to shame.

NOT RANDOM!

Thank You.

In my humble opinion, the only reason I`m going to sit through this series is to see how it turns out. If it wasn`t 13 episodes, I wouldn`t give a crap.

IMO Wulin Warriors could be just a filler show until they got something better to replace Teen Titans at the 8:00 half hour.I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to
put JLU in the 8:00 slot after IGPX returns for the second season.

Actually, I think a flip-flop would be in order. Put IGPX in Wulin Warriors' place and then keep JLU at 10:30. Best of both worlds.

Well, then you wouldn't want to go to Taiwan, then.

The original show that this is based on has been airing since the early days of television, and has over 1,000 episodes. It's also a more serious show over there, and they treat it with much respect.

I wish I could Quick Edit that message.

-sigh-

They take it seriously?!

If this plot was an anime, without Scar`s crappy jokes, it would be pretty good.

In Taiwan, it's not a comedy.

Animation Collective, the company that bought the footage of the original, turned a serious soap opera into an absurd comedy, which in turn, has angered the entire country of Taiwan.

Also, in the original, Scar is a mute.

CANCELLED!
I just was looking at the Anime Unleashed forum at G4 and they had a thread that discussed the cancellation of Wulin Warriors after only two weeks.

According to CN's schedule, we're getting extra Naruto.

EDIT: Zap2It also has extra Naruto listed, so... I guess Wulin is dead.
