This show was the reason why I wanted to become an archaeologist. The dinosaurs were super cool at times with the amazing CGI (at the time). The little animated chiba dinosaurs were absolutely adorable! The friendship between Max and Chomp is like a man and a puppy, downright adorable. Sure the anime plays on tropes. So what? The tropes are amazing and carried out great. I love the villains. They remind me of Jesse and James. This whole show reminds me of Pokemon, actually! It just has real dinosaurs in it. Cool facts are taught about dinosaurs, and I enjoy the end as well, sending a message telling that you can't hold on to friends forever, and you'll have to let them go eventually. The heartbreak is hard, but you know they're in a better place. It's like grieving for a pet you lost. I enjoy that it seems sincere. All of the dinosaurs that appear (even in filler episodes) have something driving them. It isn't an empt plot. I love the supporting cast. Sure, Mr.NotMcCree over here is imcompitent but parents in a kids anime is always shown off as kind of weaker. He's silly, and the characters are adorable and well animated. The dinosaurs are so cute that I'm currently going to order them off of amazon. Thank you Dinosaur King, for giving me an amazing childhood and making me love dinosaurs.

I haven't watched much of this series but it is not a bad anime and I remember tuning in to some episode however I lost track. Honestly, I just don't get this trend with Pokemon, whenever people see something like a monster collecting (i.e Digimon, Yo Kai Watch, Bakugan) they just bring Pokemon into it.

Here are reasons to watch it:

Good plot

Likeable characters

Good animation

Get to learn about different dinosaurs Great voice acting

The only bad thing about it is the villians being too cliche for my taste. But other then that its pretty good. As I have said on my Bakugan review it doesn't matter which one came out first all that matters is if you enjoy it.

Comparing this show to Pokemon is like comparing a Banana and a Garlic.

I wanted to joke about this show being a masterpiece, but I do want to do a simple, direct review (I'd like to do something in depth, but it's cool).

Dinosaur King is a kids anime dubbed by 4kids, it's dumb, and it's fun. If you expect more than that, you'll be dissapointed, but if you enjoy shows like this or walk into it knowing what it is, you'll be fine. I have a ton of memories with it. It's dumb at parts, but it's fun.

There is a constant plot and character development, and while it doesn't hold too good a candle to seasons of say Digimon or even Pokemon, once you get attached to the characters, it gets pretty fun.

The animation and art style is... interesting. The show was animated by Sunrise, and in some episodes, it really shows. The character designs are very unique and cute, especially the baby Dinos. Speaking of the Dinos, when they get big and become CG monsters... well... it works for emphasizing the Dinosaurs and some scenes work, but it'd be a complete lie to say it isn't messy.

Overall, it's a cute kids anime, and yeah, I'd at least say the 4kids dubbing is some form of a plus. You'll definetly recognize some actors if you've watched other 4kids dubs. It's stupid funny in the unique way 4kids dubs are.

It's easily available, so I'd suggest at least try out an episode.

Just for small children, if your an adult leaving negative reviews on this, you need something better to do.

I hate it when pathetic people compare shows to pokemon and then dismiss them because they're similar, thats like saying every horror movie is bad because they're similar to each other thats just being ignorant honestly this show is really good for what it is and shouldn't be discarded because of slight similarities to other media it does what it does and does it extremely well very entertaining and a joy to watch, it teaches you life lessons and can help you appreciate the little things in life unlike shows like pokemon and Digimon where them 2 shows are just too obnoxious and bland and void of anything good and has no progression or character development whatsoever so don't listen to them morons who don't know what they're talking about just watch dinosaur king for yourself and you'll its not as bad as they say it is not one bit its one of the best
