My younger brother was just watching CN and having nothing better to do, so I sat down on the couch and went with it. I expected to hate this show, but I surprised myself when I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. I know that it's weird coming out of the mouth of a seventeen year old male, but I like it.

Well, I'm 17, a male, and I think this show's pretty clever. It uses a different animation style than the ones usually seen on Cartoon Netwok, but it's a pretty well thought-up series and the characters are great. I mean... ninja monkeys?! That's GOTTA count for SOMETHING. Lol.

You like the rabbit? I thought he was a bit of a... hmm cant use those words

I only saw this show a few times as I'm now watching day time TV, I'm slightly miffed to be honest. I kinda like it cause the action aint to bad for a childrens show and its quite a cool change in the way scripts are done for childrens TV. The animation is certainly different as I dunno whether I like it or not, dont prefer it to traditional animation obviously but it's not bad by any shot. Overall I'd say its good but not something I'd wake up for ;)

That's why I like him. He is... one of those, but he seems to have an older brother/younger brother relationship with the skunk.

rofl thats probably why Im put off, I have an older brother and i'm the younger brother so naturally I'd incline to taking the Skunk's side ;D

LOL, i was waiting for a topic on this show.

i first saw it at mr biggs (a like arcade place with arcade, bowling and lots of stuff) and cartoon network was playing on the screen, and this show was on. and yes i got into it. lol. and there wasn't any sound though.

i searched on youtube, someone had tons of videos up, and then i messaged the guy,a nd then we bacame friends. (we talked alot on skype) he used a TV tuner and Mindows MOvie maker.

now back on topic.

I do like it, after the time at the arcade place, i looked when it was going to come on on CN, and i have watched some episodes. I have a few eps on my comp (from that guy, he sent some to me)

yeah. but one thing i dont get

why dont any of the characters have names?!? they just call them by the name of the animal they are... kinda weird. LOL

This show's not bad, though it seems like any animated show that has to do with martial arts (especially if it's anthropomorphic) becomes successful. For example, Jackie Chan Adventures or the more well known series TMNT. But I will say this, all these shows do have their clever moments.

When I first saw the show I too thought it would be just another one of CN's new sub-par cartoons, but I think it's actually quite good and the animation style fits the show very well. CN has kind of taken some bad turns over the past few years starting with the end of Toonami on weekdays and then shutting it down altogether, as well as picking up shows like "Total Drama Island" a cartoon reality show? really? is that the best they could come up with? Skunk fu really reflects a cartoon of the mid-90's and I'm glad to see at least one that can be successful.

*Blinks* For once me and Raging Balto agree on something. I like the show, it's not the best I've ever seen but it is the only one with a skunk as its main character, which is my favorite animal. It really kinda makes sense in a way, martial arts are the art of self defense, skunks have one of the best defenses of any animal. here's my favorite characters in order.

Dragon is a good main antagonist, he's evil but at the same time tragic in that he got that way for doing something he believed in his heart to be right and his suffering drove him to evil, I prefer villians like that over the villians who are just evil for the sake of being evil. Another thing is we have no idea just what he's capable of fully, we know he's powerful but he's unable to show his true power while he's trapped.

Panda is fun, he's both the 'old master' role but also has a comical side to his character. His frustrations with his students are rather plain to see, and well placed, but its also fun to see Skunk actuelly learn something and Panda's reaction. Like Dragon, we haven't seen his full power yet, because bascially he hasn't had to use it.

Baboon, perfect choice for the evil menion leader, he's both evil and a real threat but at the same time he's a complete coward at times. He always tries his hardest but it almost always backfires on him, though its often also due to his menions' stupidity, though Dragon always blaims him.

Skunk is an intresting character. Though he's impaitant and fun loving, he almost always manages to learn a lession at the end of the episode, normally through the very mistakes he makes throughout. Its easy to see that he's got a big destiny ahead of him (and not just because of how Panda got him) but he's not aware of it. As for his species natural ability only occuring if he's emberessed or startled, kinda makes sense considering he's the only one of his kind he's ever known, he porbably never learned how.

I also like Fox and Rabbit but don't really have anything to say about them. Overall, a nice, mostly clean show. I'm glad Cartoonnetwork picked it up.

I remember that show.

I didn't know what to think of it from the commercials; it looked cute but I wasn't expecting it to be anything too entertaining.
For the heck of it, I watched a few episodes and I found them very humorous and enjoyable. :3
i wish i had watched more episodes, so im hoping they're on youtube or something
