    Sagwa ROX

    So i remember being obsessed with this show years ago, in fact, so obsessed i have made a series of powerpoints praising her by portraying her as the dictator and leader of her own powerful nation named after herself. But that's not what i'm here for. Anyways, This show became the divine part of me, I don't remember most of the show now but i'm pretty much getting back into it, I don't know why this show doesn't come on TV anymore but oh my god, that cat was pretty much my idol, This was until i shook it off years later (and i'm glad) because of life problems. I think Sagwa could've gotten more episodes if it weren't for those who cancelled it. In all reality, this show was a core divine part of me, 10/10 still good up to this day.. Oh, and Don't Forget Your Umbrella.

    cute cats living in china

    This show is soooooooooo cute!!! This show is about a siamese kitten growing up in china with her family. The live in a royal palace.Sagwa's best friend is a bat named Fufu. I like this show because it teaches children to respect their elders as well as teaching them about other cultures.

    A colorful series in the historical setting of turn-of-the-century China

    As a cat lover, I love this show. It's so cute, with beautiful colors in the backgrounds, interesting characters, and great short stories that teach valuable lessons in the historical setting of turn-of-the-century China. I do love shows and movies that are set in Asia (China, Japan, and India too), like "The Last Samurai," starring Tom Cruise and set in Japan. And I also love Chinese films like "The Young Avengeress" from 1969.

    Sagwa, her best friend Fu-Fu the funny bat, and Sagwa's younger sister Sheegwa are my favourite characters from the show. As for characters I hate, I hate Tai-Tai for being a social climber and the way she has her husband wrapped around her finger; I hate hen-peckers. So anyway, that is all I have to say about this cartoon series: that I really love it.

    Sagwa, You're The Best Friend

    This show is so cute that it's actually a little hard to describe. The show is about a Siamese kitten growing up in imperial China with her family and friends. In addition to Sagwa and her parents, there's also her brother and sister Dongwa and Sheegwa, their grandfather, and Sagwa's best friend Fufu (a bat). The cats are all under the care of the Foolish Magistrate, so made because of his tendency toward making rules that make absolutely no sense but still has a heart of gold. One thing that I really like is the theme song, which is where I got the title for my review. That song is quite lovely and sometimes I catch myself humming along to it. Adding to the theme song, cute characters, and cute story lines are some really great lessons and morals. Not only does it introduce Chinese language and culture but also some excellent moral lessons such as making appropriate choices, acting honourably, respecting elders, and looking after the good of a whole.

    An adorable show for children

    A very nice series for children, it teaches good life lessons and the characters are quite charismatic, a pity that it has been canceled, because I feel that it could have given us much more, even so, very nice series. My rating is a 10.
