Slugterra: les mondes souterrains

While the animation starts with being off-putting, you get used to it, and it becomes smoother with every episode. I enjoyed it when it first came out, then didn't return to it later. From a modern look, it's a bit rough of a show, but the writing's still quite good.

It's about using slugs as ammo in an underground world. Following the adventures of Eli Shane and his friends, you get the concept of 99 different caverns to explore, as well as a nefarious villain and other plotlines. You get typical do-goody nature, complete with typical heroics.

Unfortunately, this series never finished. Even with it's Season 6 Netflix episodes, it was never finished. In fact, it seemingly retconned much of Slugterra only to end with "here's a new character and new plot elements" instead of finishing -anything-.

If you're okay with that fact, then you'll get a pretty enjoyable journey, as long as you forget Season 6 exists and treat it as "he lives underground with his friends, this is his life now, the end". Which would be the best summary of how to end the story after Season 5.

Oddly enough, a mobile game for it still gets updated. The concept would work great for an xcom-styled game, too.

While the lack of an end is a shame, it's still a treat to bless the animated world.

Good show. I love the fact that this show is like pokemon. But u catch slugs.

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

This series is truly one of the most underrated and best I've seen. The first three seasons at least are magnificent, they give you that feeling of adventure that even other series today would dream of, a lot of variety of characters and super interesting situations. Eli Shane for example is basically the Nathan Drake of Slugterra, very nice and fun to listen to even in the most tense situations, but who knows how to take things seriously, and has a great soul of an explorer. All the characters are pretty good, even the villains (except some fillers). What if they should have improved is to remove certain repetitive combat scenes and have added more slugs and gadgets, since sometimes this series becomes very monotonous (and therefore I do not recommend it to everyone), and this unfortunately becomes a negative point. A really negative point starting with the fourth season, where it seems that the creators did not have much more desire to make new episodes. The series could have perfectly ended with the third. From the fourth, all that essence of exploration and knowing what is beyond is lost, and they begin to introduce old characters like if it was fan service as if nothing had happened (especially in the fourth, personally the worst season by far) . Well, to be honest, it is something that was partly lost in the second and third seasons but at a lower level, in fact, the first two chapters of the first season seemed by far the best, since they introduce the concepts key to the series in a spectacular way, a better introduction even than Pokemon, its greatest inspiration.

In spite of that, Slugterra ended well within everything, and I can say that although the last three seasons were a disappointment, it was still worth watching this series, although it ended in a very forced and open way. Will there be more seasons? Only time will tell...

Great show. The weakest part is the molenoid Pronto but other than that the story and introduction to story elements are amazing. Such as twist villains , macguffins and of course it's an omage to classic westerns .
