Anexcuse Posted August 7, 2014 Hi, from what I've heard from numerous sources, Ninjago's story is good and deep. How would any of you suggest getting into the story? Like, should I start with the books or the animations? Which would be better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Horizon- Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Wikipedea has the Plot line for the series, If you want to read the Pilot's plot or however much you want. You can also find the seasons at Toys R Us for about 15-20 dollars. Edited August 7, 2014 by lego3364 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like, should I start with the books or the animations? Which would be better? Stick with the show, starting with the pilot episodes/movie. Most of the books are just supplementary stories and do not have much of an effect on the TV show's storyline. Some of the books aren't even canon to the story at all. The books can be interesting at sometimes, but you'd have to make the verdict on your own. Edited August 7, 2014 by Penkid11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I've never read Greg Farshtey books, but I've heard they're good. Edited August 7, 2014 by lego3364 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted August 7, 2014 The TV show is the core story. Everything else is supplementary side stories. So if you're trying to get up to speed as fast as possible, the TV series is the way to go. The chapter books and graphic novels are both excellent. When buying the chapter books be sure to stick to the early ones by Greg Farshtey. The past few years have only featured dull adaptations of the TV series by Tracey West, but the Greg Farshtey ones tell independent stories that are really quite good. The graphic novels are all good, so no worries there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 7, 2014 The story might get deeper into the ninjas backstory or into a totally fresh direction as I found this just now......."it is possible that the Lego Ninjago spin-off could claim the 2018 date." I found it here...... http://www.nerdist.com/2014/08/wb-announces-release-dates-for-rumored-lego-movie-sequels/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anexcuse Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks for the help all, I'll start watching the pilot episodes soon enough. The assistance is greatly appreciated! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Overlord Posted August 28, 2014 The TV series is the only full blown way to really grasp the story, but it's quite spectacular when it's not having its filler episodes and kiddie moments. On the surface, it's a kid show, but it does have some deep underlying themes; the most prevalent is that of balance. Throughout the story balance is referenced(between good and evil, tradition and technology). It's good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
