mykileyside My husband and I watch this show with our 10yo son. We didn't intend to, but the story line is very compelling. I was a bit disappointed with a couple details in the show, but it won't stop me from watching. This is one show that my husband and I don't mind our son watching. My husband and I often laugh out loud while watching. I'm glad that the dialogue is not over simplified for children. Children are really quite intelligent. Again I hope that the number of seasons for Slugterra begin to rival The Simpsons. I also hope that the plots stay exciting, interesting, and entertaining without being repetitive.Slugterra is a very interesting, exciting, and interesting concept of layers of worlds within planet Earth. The battle between good and evil is ever apparent. All of the characters are enjoyable. Because of the level of fictional fighting, children younger than 10 MAY not be able to fully realize that this is imaginative and not real. We still have to deal with a level of that in our 10yo son. Otherwise, this show makes you want a Slugterra slug of your own. Thank you, Asaph Fipke, very much. Thank you also to the voice-over actors. Wonderful jobs.

pheonixknight00 Contains SpoilersThis show I'm sure was from someone thinking about bullets being called "slugs" and figured "why not make them living slugs with different powers?" So we end up with Slugterra i thought this show was going to be awful the premise is so bad a 100 miles under the earths crust is a world with humans trolls mole people and others living not knowing of the "burning land" other than legends. Eli's father is the peace keeper of this place until he disappears and Eli replaces him some years later. The action is good the humor is not too bad the animation is very good for a TV show. This was made to sell toys it is so easy to see but instead of it being cheap and lazy writing they did a great job with what they had. The slugs when reaching 100 MPH transform into powerful versions of themselves able to freeze, burn, cut and many other things Out of all the things in the show that are so unbelievable i find it funny that the part that bothers me the most is if these slugs fall the transform. When i see this i think about how the terminal volatility of a slug shouldn't be 100 MPH. Yes out of all the crazy things in this show that is what bothers me.This show should be awful but with good writes, animators and actors this show is pretty good. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone but i would for many who are bored.

Wei Jay Tan Original Score:3.5/4, Series: ***** (5/5), Quality: **** (4/5)Episodes Seen:40/40Slugterra, the world beneath our feet. Remind ourselves that this is a work of fiction, but a great television series it is nonetheless. I have seen this great television series that aired on my local Disney XD channel, and I found it to be superbly, harmlessly, and nearly universally entertaining. At the same time showing moral messages and positive role models to kids. I'll have you know that other Disney television series adaptations of well-known titles, such as Guardians of the Galaxy or Star Wars Rebels, all employ moral messages and tune down the level of violence to secure it's place as a show that is suitable for children to watch. This one is no exception. Meanwhile, I often hated it when fans complain that it is not well made. Is all of that way over the top violence that you are looking for that you will find entertaining? Yes to some, no to others. Me? I don't ever play any violent games anymore because of the harm that they can do to my relevance and thinking. Therefore, I prefer action that is not way over the top. For Slugterra and many of the other Disney television adaptations of the well-known titles, they have succeeded in tuning down the violence and explicit content to a level that is suitable for children and a certain audience, and even though I am a young adult when I wrote this, that includes me.The series follows Eli (Pronounced ee-lai) Shane, son of Will Shane. Who is one of the Shanes who are the protectors of Slugterra, the world beneath our feet. (Now remember that this is a work of fiction.)Will Shane was the rival and enemy of Dr. Thaddeus Blakk, owner of Blakk Industries and the main antagonist of the show. After the disappearance of his Father, Eli knows his destiny as the next Shane in line to protect Slugterra. The journey down to Slugterra is over one hundred miles below the surface of the Earth. Should he choose to go, it will be a one-way trip until he knows the secret of how to get back home. With his father's loyal slug companion: Burpy, and a letter from his father as his guides to the world of Slugterra, Eli sets out on a journey to Slugterra. Where it is his duty to keep the peace of that separate world.You know this show has a world of it's own, a world of magical critters called Slugs. They are creatures who are loyal companions to their owners, treat them well and they will treat their owners well in return. Each one has their own unique powers, first you choose your slug, then you sling it using a blaster. When it reaches a hundred miles an hour, it transforms. As we follow Eli Shane and the other members of the Shane Gang, they battle the diabolical Dr. Blakk and protect the peace of Slugterra. In every Episode of the series, there are well-organized plot points, well-developed characters, positive role models and positive messages and themes expressed. It is up to the viewer to interpret the messages expressed within, and being entertained at the same time. That is what good shows can do; entertain as well as providing food for thought for the viewer at the same time.A lot of good storytelling is there in the episodes of the series, and it never uses brief and slam bang comedy to keep us entertained but however chooses to utilize moderately paced storytelling techniques. Along with richly themed, smart and sometimes brilliantly humorous methods to tell it's captivating and exciting story.The writing of the series never shies away from using certain sentences that contain a hint of moral messages within. Pay attention to the themes or you might miss out certain things that you may learn from the show as it entertains you at the same time.This is one of the best kids television shows I have seen, it is recommended for audience members who are looking for moderate (but not explicit or way over the top) action and a family themed television series. Every episode of the series utilizes a different plot and some of them contains positive messages for children, pre-teens,teens or even adults. The first episode alone will have you thinking about the adventures that the Shane Gang will be having ahead of them and convince you to watch the series.

Pauline Hill As a (supposed) adult, you'd think I'd have better things to do than sit around all day watching cartoons, but honestly I can't think of a better way to spend my time than by watching Slugterra. It just works! Great characters, excellent world building, brilliant art, clever storyline and amazing voice talent just ties this together into the perfect 10/10 package. Each episode is enjoyable and the progressive storyline is really interesting as well.I'll be honest, at first I saw this and just thought "Really?? Someone has come up with the idea of 'what if the slugs in guns were ACTUAL slugs?!' and run with it???" But the slugs are adorable and the characters around them take this premise and run far, far away from the basic idea building something far more than just a gunslinging creature-collection cartoon.I highly recommend Slugterra, just be prepared to want to marathon all three seasons once you start :P
