Now, I’m all for magical swords and superpowers, but this is an element that should remain strictly in the realm of shows like He-Man and Thundercats. One of the major differences is that rather than having the Lee brothers fight with their fists and using realistic martial arts moves, the show depicts them fighting with magical swords that gave them special powers. The cartoon itself is only loosely based on the video games of the same name. Because towards the end, you fight against Jimmy before you rescue Marian. This story seems to be loosely based on the story from the NES version of the first game. In the beginning, Jimmy was one of the bad guys, and was an enemy to Billy.

But even though they’re said to be 18 years old, they look more like they’re in their 30s to me. And as such, the Lee brothers would fight each other 18 years later once they came of age and meet for the first time. Billy Lee was raised by an elderly martial artist simply known as the “Oldest Dragon” (gee, how original), and his brother Jimmy Lee was raised by the evil Shadow Master as his second-in-command. The premise of the show centered around the Lee brothers as they are separated at birth. Granted, a lot like the Megaman cartoon which came a year later, the Double Dragon cartoon is a bit of a mixed bag for me. But for as cheesy as it was, it did have some redeeming qualities that kept me interested for as long as the show lasted. So how does this show hold up? Well, to be perfectly honest, it doesn’t hold up that well. But as a kid in the 90s, I had high expectations from cartoons and movies based on video games despite that most of them sucked. And on top of that, the show was basically a marketing ploy to sell toys… Go figure. Now, as you can imagine, the cartoon was basically just yet another dumb cheesy 90s show with some terrible animation, corny jokes, lame humor, and a theme song that was downright cheesy as hell, but strangely addictive. And the less that is said about that crappy excuse for a game the better. And of course, it was this cartoon that led to the creation of the absolutely abysmal game “Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls”. And I already reviewed that miserable trainwreck so there’s no reason for me to go over that again.

But before it bit the dust the live action Double Dragon movie was made. The show first aired on television on September 12th, 1993, and ended on December 4th, 1994, lasting for 2 seasons and 26 episodes. And we all know what titles DIC is most famous for. And well, that’s pretty much what we got back in the day, courtesy of DIC Entertainment.

And as such, a TV show had to be produced for it. The game became popular among gamers as one of the first beat em ups of the late 80s and early 90s. The animated TV series, simply known as “Double Dragon” was an American cartoon show based on the video game franchise by “Technos Japan Corporation”, who were also known for their Kunio Kun series. In fact, I’m just going to get straight to the point. But I’ve already went over that in earlier entries so I’m not going to flood this review elaborating on the franchise’s history again. I’ve went over the source material many times before, and I talked about it at great length. So what was the show about, might you ask? Well, if you’ve been a Double Dragon fan for as long as I have, then you should already be familiar with the franchise’s lore and history. You know, much like how the Ruby Spears Megaman cartoon was just called “Megaman” and not “Megaman: The Animated Series”. Or just “Double Dragon” as it was simply called. Well, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into the subject for today Double Dragon the animated series. But before I do that, I want to personally thank FailSeeker for suggesting this subject to me.

And this particular subject was suggested to me by none other than, so I figured, what better time than now to review yet another cartoon series based on a video game? Well, that’s what I’m about to do right now as I once again delve into the world of Double Dragon. I know I keep saying stuff like this in every one of my introductions, but I know that I’ve covered quite a number of titles before in the past. Hey, this is MDTartist83, and welcome to another retro TV review by yours truly.
