This is the best show ever. I love it so much. I really don't like SS1 of the film because of the way the characters were drawn. It's just so childish and the story is so childish, too. But when I saw SS2 of the film, I watch it everyday, I can't stop watching, I fell in love with AmDrag since then. It's not just like other cartoons. It has action, romantic love, family, friends, things around us. The show taught us a lot of things, and really is a meaning show. Most of SS2 eps make me cry when I see the love between Jake - Lao Shi (Grandson - grandfather), Jake - Haley (siblings), Jake - his father, Jake - Rose (love) and Jake - Trix, Spud (friends). I save watched a lot of cartoons series, but only this show makes me cry, I am really attracted, the film makes me feel, think. This's not a show for kids only, the story of the film attracts adults. It's the only cartoon series has many fans who are more than 50. But Disney canceled the film, Disney ruined themself by canceling the best film ever. I love them more than anything else, I don't know if I can do something to bring it back, but if I know. I will do anything to save it. Let's show Disney that's they're all wrong to cancel a show like this.

I absolutely hate this show for two reasons Jake and Trixie!!! First of all, I'm a New York City teenager and I hate the way Disney portrays NYC teenagers. I'm 17, and I've seen the show a couple of times with my little brother, and I can't bare to watch it for more than 10 min. The slang that they talk is soooo played out, Jake and Trixie talk like old white men trying to imitate young teenagers, it's obvious the writers of this show did no research on how NYC teenagers act and behave and they based the entire show off of stereotypes. I mean what does Jake call his grandfather, "G-Gramps" or "G-Pops", this show is ridiculous, no one in an NYC high school talks like this! And Trixie, talk about stereotypes! What does she call herself "Mama Trixie"!?! And whats with the phony ghetto accent!?! And all the "ain't nothing but a chicken wang" and all the other stereotypical black girl comments! And of course, what would the show be without the stereotypical blond hair, blue eyed beauty, Rose, Jake's crush? The only realistic character is Spud, I like Spud! But this show is absolutely repulsive! If they wanted to have a black girl on the show, they should of included at least one black writer or someone who's up to date on teenage NYC culture.

hello. for all of you who think this show is stupid and is a copy it is def. not . and for the people who think this doesn't represent kids these days are really wrong I'm a teenager myself and too me this show except for the whole dragon thing seems almost life like for a cartoon if u listen too them there typical teens and there not showing stereo types cause Trixie and spud and Jake are all different yess but THEY ARE ALL FRIENDS which shows how different races can be best friends! and believe me the 'slang' might be annoying for older people and they might think its over done but come to a high school for a day Thats all you hear ! this show is amazing and i love how it has plots and twists! and for the people are saying Jake is Asian and he doesn't represent Asian culture good enough. HELLO his dad is an American ! hes not Asian . so hes dealing with the fact hes biracial which is hard to grow up biracial . so i think its a VERYYY good interpretation of teenagers today!

I love this show! Disney Channel is all well and good, but it's family shows about a sixteen-year old, terrible animated flicks that I'm embarrassed to watch, and not much else. ADJL rocks! Sure, it's got silly jokes, stereotypes, and too much fake slang, but what show doesn't have at least one of those? I'm just grateful that this show is still there, after the short-lived W.I.T.C.H. that I adored. The plot is about a teenage Asian-American boy in NYC who can turn into a Dragon. He is taught about his powers by wise old grandpa also a dragon and Fu-Dog, a 6,000 year-old talking dog who whips up potions and bad puns. Jake battles evil monsters and fights the 'Huntsclan,' a group of secret ninja-type people with cool staffs that spew green energy stuff and hunt magical creatures. The Huntsgirl, the Huntsmaster's assistant, Jake's arch nemesis who wants to slay him and become a full-blown Huntsclan member, is actually Rose, the pretty girl at school who Jake has a crush on. Rose/Huntsgirl has a dragon birthmark/tattoo on her hand whose tail winds around her arm, which I think is really cool. I knew that Rose was the Huntsgirl even before I saw the first episode, as I go to Disney Channel.com and check out the video clips and pictures. How many blonds with blue eyes with similar voices are hanging around? If they weren't the same person, the animators would have given them different hair or something. The fact that Jake didn't realize that is just weird, but it's a TV show. At the end of the first season, Jake and Rose have discovered the other's secret identity, and Rose disappears, much to Jake's sorrow. Second season, which just started, picks up a few months after season 1 ended, and there's new animation. I have mixed feelings about the new animation: change is good, and I like how Jake changes into an Asian dragon instead of a European dragon, like before, but the Oracle twins are now fraternal: Sarah is in a is blond in a pink dress and Carra has black hair and is goth, while before they were both red-heads who looked similar. The huge change, in my book, is the Huntsclan uniforms. Before they were dark-green and black armor things that blended into the shadows, but now they're black and maroon things with a red spider symbol on the masks, which makes them stand out. They look stupid and weird. The staff-weapon things with the green energy stuff are more advanced but not so ancient looking. They're more like tridents with some intricate carvings, not so good. I know, I know, I love the Huntsclan too much, but I'm the kind of person who loves Slytherin. All in all, I love this TV show. Sure it has its faults, but it's as close to perfect as you can get with the idea and Disney. Magic and the real world is a great element, and to have it on Disney is wonderful for a fantasy geek like me. Hey, I play D&D, so ADJL is big. Watch it, and see what you think.
