Slugterra (2012–2016) User Reviews

Like Pokemon, but much more mature and better.

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...

How is this as good as it is?

Contains Spoilers

This show I'm sure was from someone thinking about bullets being called "slugs" and figured "why not make them living slugs with different powers?" So we end up with Slugterra i thought this show was going to be awful the premise is so bad a 100 miles under the earths crust is a world with humans trolls mole people and others living not knowing of the "burning land" other than legends.

Eli's father is the peace keeper of this place until he disappears and Eli replaces him some years later. The action is good the humor is not too bad the animation is very good for a TV show. This was made to sell toys it is so easy to see but instead of it being cheap and lazy writing they did a great job with what they had.

The slugs when reaching 100 MPH transform into powerful versions of themselves able to freeze, burn, cut and many other things Out of all the things in the show that are so unbelievable i find it funny that the part that bothers me the most is if these slugs fall the transform. When i see this i think about how the terminal volatility of a slug shouldn't be 100 MPH. Yes out of all the crazy things in this show that is what bothers me.

This show should be awful but with good writes, animators and actors this show is pretty good. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone but i would for many who are bored.

Simple but acceptable

Cartoon made, like many others, on purpose for the purpose of selling toys and I am ready to forgive him for this since in the end it is not bad. Very simple and obvious but makes an acceptable performance.

Amazing!

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

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.

Slugterra is a wonderful show to watch, with a story that talks about a world beneath our feet. Amazing artwork detail and the story itself is adventures, that makes me remember Alice and wonderland. Each character in Slugterra has unique traits even the slugs, Slugterra combines and captures both science and magic. What I enjoy most is the gun shooting action,along with each different slug having a different ability. Never judge a book by it's cover, in this case never judge a slug by it's appearance. Slugterra is something both me and my sister enjoy very much, and hope to see more of in the future. I thank both the creators and actors/actress for making Slugterra Amazing, well that's all for now and remember to Slug It Out.

Back The Slugterra!!!!!!

[tsisarenko · 10/10 · 26 March 2021]

Return the Slugterra please!!!!!

Answer please!!!! This is not the end!!!!

I believe!!!

wow............just......wow

[sakerwaleed97 · 10/10 · 18 January 2014]

you know, I'm actually really surprised by this fantastic piece of awesomeness, when i first watched the pictures and trailers, i said: oh crap another stupid merchandising piece of crap, i never watched it until 2014 , i watched the first 5 episodes and wow, I'm really really fascinated by this, every thing is so well done, the characters, the plot, the action, the slugs are so nice and cute that will leave you cursing Pokemon for the rest of your life, the dump idea of shooting tiny creatures out of a pistol ( it was dump) is now one of the coolest aspects of this show, the protagonist of this show is a wonderful, adventurer and a noble teen that quickly became one of the nicest heroes of an animated show iv ever seen( and believe me: i watches a lot of cartoons),he is not like those dump, ---k heads of the year(I'm talking to you Ben 10). The setting of this show is really nice and theme is great: keeping your thoughts and beliefs and stay good in a foreign world is a great deal,( with the help of trustworthy friends off course) all in all, this is one of the best 3 adventure/hero TV shows to watch in 2014 besides MAX STEEL and TMNT 2012!!.

I'd like a Slugterra Slug of my own

My husband and I watch this show with our 10yo son. We didn't intend to, but the story line is very compelling. I was a bit disappointed with a couple details in the show, but it won't stop me from watching. This is one show that my husband and I don't mind our son watching. My husband and I often laugh out loud while watching. I'm glad that the dialogue is not over simplified for children. Children are really quite intelligent. Again I hope that the number of seasons for Slugterra begin to rival The Simpsons. I also hope that the plots stay exciting, interesting, and entertaining without being repetitive.

Slugterra is a very interesting, exciting, and interesting concept of layers of worlds within planet Earth. The battle between good and evil is ever apparent. All of the characters are enjoyable. Because of the level of fictional fighting, children younger than 10 MAY not be able to fully realize that this is imaginative and not real. We still have to deal with a level of that in our 10yo son. Otherwise, this show makes you want a Slugterra slug of your own. Thank you, Asaph Fipke, very much. Thank you also to the voice-over actors. Wonderful jobs.

this show is awesome!!!!! I wanna live there XD

[survivethsht · 10/10 · 18 September 2021]

Don't listen to the lame adults whining on this show. This show is awesome! If you love the idea of slinging powerful slugs at the bad guys and getting them once and for all, then this is for you. Not like rl where adults manipulate to protect their jobs and the economy.

Great starter show ! For preteens and teens !

[jakobcaseyfield · 10/10 · 17 November 2021]

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 .

These is an amazing cartoon show I'm waiting for new episodes.

[shindevarad · 10/10 · 15 February 2022]

I love slugs.

These is cartoon show I'm watching from last 2 years.

Each episode of each season I'm watched minimum 2-3 times.

Please guy's make voice for more videos.

Just similar like Pokemon, benten.

Watch just one time. ❤❤

Slug terra was the best thing I ever watched as a kids unfortunately season 7 or more werent released it would have been amazing

[pjqkzcfn · 10/10 · 13 September 2023]

I'm 18 now and I got my younger sibling and nephews to watch it they all loved it and I still do I re watched it after 8 years and I still love it more than anything I use to imagine my self being in slugterra miss them days to be honest it made me feel like a kid once again all my worries and stress left me while I watched these series even if they released a new series now it would be the best trust me everyone would want to watch it as me and my friends in primary use to pretend we were our own characters in slugterra oh to be a kid once again now I have a 7 moth of baby and ima make sure he is a bigger fan of slug terra than me so he can experience a real child hood.

This is pokemon but with slugs.

[uqailmahari · 9/10 · 27 November 2018]

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

Amazing

[aljbrono · 10/10 · 18 December 2023]

This show is great for children and adults it has likable characters and great action and the jokes aren't just haha funny fart joke L A U G H. Plus they give so much emotion to the characters and even the slugs. And it also has some badass Slowmo shots. But one thing I don't like is that the villains are 50/50 they are either a minor annoyance or someone who is absolutely terrifying and that's not really a nitpick it's barely a problem. All and all it's a great show I highly recommend that you watch and I do wish there are more seasons for the future or it gets on d+ 10/10

Also if you like ninjago the new voice of Lloyd is the same as Eli.
