Action, adventure and the supernatural pervade this Pokeman-like CGI series in which Monk-in-training Omi, Dragon-guard Dojo, and new warrior students Kimiko, Raimundo, and Clay race to collect ancient artifacts called Shen-Gong-Wu. The evil, formless witch Wuya and her sidekick Jack Spice are also chasing the Shen-Gong-Wu in hopes of harnessing the artifacts' supernatural powers and conquering the world. In each of thirteen episodes, Dojo leads Omi and his fellow students to a different Shen-Gong-Wu. Inevitably, Jack also covets the same artifact and challenges Omi or one of the other students compete in a Xiaolin Showdown--a battle in which each warrior invokes his or her own powers and the powers of a Shen-Gong-Wu already collected to defeat his or her opponent and win possession of both the artifact in question and his or her opponent's artifact. Victory ebbs and flows and, while Jack cheats his way through each challenge, Omi and his fellow students compete honestly and are continually learning and growing as a result of each battle. By the end of the season, evil threatens to triumph over good: Jack and Wuya combine the powers of individual Shen-Gong-Wu to spark a metamorphosis that drastically changes the face of evil. Can Omi and his friends possibly restore good in the world and prevent 10,000 years of darkness? (Ages 6 to 14) --Tami Horiuchi

Kick-butt action and great Comedy November 10, 2008
H. Minson (Salt Lake, UT USA)
Although there are many cartoons out there that surpass this in their use of intellect, Xiaolin Showdown is still a very well done show. I enjoyed the character interaction as well as the humor. Raimundo is quite the comic relief and he's not the only one. Join Omi, Clay, Rai, and Kimiko as they adventure to find the Shen Gong Wu and stop the forces of evil!
where's the next season? October 25, 2008
G. Yip (SF, USA)
you would be surprised how funny and entertaining this series really is, even though it looks a bit weak by it's cover. the humor is smart, jack spicer, boy genius is hilarious, and omi is so out of it- where is the next season?? I WANT IT!!! Please?
Not an anime fan, but I love this show! February 26, 2008
Another reviewer (Near Seattle, Washington United States)
Okay, I'll be right up front and admit that I am not a fan of anime. To my backward way of thinking, peddling sex to kiddos is just not cool, and most anime does just that, with a few exceptions (think Kiki's Delivery Service and other such films - in my opinion, they are few and far between). This show doesn't do that - not even in an insidious way - nor does it pit friends against friends (think Pokemon). Perhaps it's because it's not strictly anime. The humor is terrific. It's a show I can watch again and again with my kids. Now that's saying something, anime or not.
 Not Your Typical Series July 29, 2007
Michael Klein (Scotch Plains, NJ)
Warner Brothers really does have some good ideas. Xiaolin Showdown is noticeable deeper than most shows for children. The plot isn't terribly original (four kids fight evil and collect artifacts granting special powers), but the writing has a nice balance between smart, funny and easy to understand for kids.
The real gem in this series is the character development. Omi, the self-proclaimed leader, isn't like your typical good guy. He has moments where he's selfish and wants to be better than everyone, or thinks he can handle things himself. Raimundo argues with Omi a lot, and doesn't care about the missions a lot of the time, while Kimiko has to deal with proving herself as a real warrior. Meanwhile, Clay shows he knows more than a few cowboys puns. The three-dimensional characters really make you care about them because they seem so real. And did you know that this show's first and second season end with cliffhangers? Talk about taking risks.
All in all, Xiaolin Showdown is well recommended for kids and adults alike. Just know that there are lack of bonus features aside from some trailers, but you'll be too busy watching your favorites from Xiaolin's first season!
Great Entertainment for my Child! March 15, 2007
A. K. Roche (Warwick, Rhode Island, USA)
This is a 2 disk set. The COMPLETE first season. Hours of entertainment for everyone. My son loves this series. I purchased this for Valentines day for him. He watches it every single day. I am so happy I bought this. The price is amazing for a complete season on 2 disks!
