Recently finished watching this show. I thought it was pretty good, with season 2 being much better than 1 (the art style switch really helped), although I felt the halfway point of s2 would have been a good place to end it, since everything after that (minus the finale) felt like filler.Which is a shame, because I thought how Rose's arc ended with her living an alternate life was a nice bittersweet ending for her and Jake's relationship, but then the finale had to bring her back and "lol I remember" because reasons.
What did the rest of you think of this show?

Shitty knock-off of the superior Danny Phantom with a protag you wanted to strangle everytime he oppened his mouth.

To be honest I think the only thing I preferred from season 1 was the dragon designsand I'm a giant faggot so that's not a good point.In his defense season 2 was probably better.
Also I thought it was pretty bleh when I watched it as a youngling because there were better equivalent shows, and now it's still pretty bleh.

I feel that way too.

I don't want to call it a knock off of Danny Phantom specifically, because teenager who is secretly a hero has been done A LOT.
But I agree, it felt shitty. It tried way to hard to be hip. A lot of late 90s and early 00's shows have that weakeness where they're trying so hard to be edgy and cool, it fucking dates them really badly.

Did they even reveal who the black dragon was?

I don't think he was anyone.

I remember them making a huge deal out of his real identity being a mystery in the episode where he was introduced.
But yeah, unless they pulled out some stupid cliche bullshit like him being Jake's great-grandfather or his grandfather's master he would have just being some random guy.

One of the worst parts of this series, imo. The Dark Dragon was a boring villain.

Man, I used to think that Danny Phantom was the poster child for wasted potential in a long running action cartoon.
But this one truly shat the bed even worse.

I just wanted them to fuck...
