And now for some fun voice acting facts: 1. This show marks the first time John DiMaggio voiced a talking dog (Fu Dog). He would later voice a talking dog two more times in 2010, Jake from Adventure Time and Niblet from Pound Puppies. 2. We have Jake and Rose voiced by Dante Basco and Mae Whitman. This show came out a month before Avatar The Last Airbender, where they voiced Zuko and Katara. 3. We have Rotwood voiced by Freakazoid himself, Paul Rugg.

Oh right the whole situation between Jake and Rose and their rivalry without knowing that the other was the enemy always loved that. Really loved both seasons equally, and i never saw that Lilo and Stitch crossover but looks interesting. Loved the characters and the whole world, the ways they integrated mythical elements etc. I normally don't comment but been enjoying your channel since the end of Fringemas (when i finally decided to check your stuff and got hooked) keep up the good work

I feel like, to me, American Dragon Jake Long was a mix of Spider-man with Jake having these powers and only a few close allies knowing his secret. Fairly odd parents with the teacher obsessed with magic creatures but always being proven wrong in the end. TMNT with the Huntsmen being sort of a Foot like organization. And obviously Karate Kid with the elderly mentor teaching with seemingly obscure chores that end up teaching skills that can be used in combat. I think it blend all of the aspects pretty well.

I really liked the oracle twins, they had an interesting dynamic with how their powers shaped their personalities. One would see only good things in the future and end up being moody and depressed from all the nice surprises of life being spoiled for her and the other seeing only bad things to the point when any little good thing that happens is so much better by comparison. It's weird that season 2 they both just stopped being twins. Like I could get that people sometimes dye their hair but with the whole changing face shape/nose shape/eye color/skin color it just seems like there isn't much else to make these two to actually look like twins or even just related in any way.

I have to say, I’m actually glad you didn’t continue into describing the second season. I have some remembering of this and know how it turns out, but I haven’t had a chance to watch the rest of it or even watch it canonically. Thank you for reminding me of this one.

I will never stop being mad this show got cancelled especially when it did. I know the show is old as heck but still MAJOR SPOILER WARNING. It got cancelled right at the PERFECT time for more stories to be told. Jake's dad found out about the magical side of the family (and his immidiate reaction was wanting to fight to protect his family and being concerned for Jake before ANYTHING else) and Rose (somehow) got her memories back even though those memories shouldn't exist period. SO many stories could be told with these new additions but nope! Cancelled

I remember that as a kid I understood that a show suddenly changing its design like this was the pointmark of it starting going downhill. Dexter's laboratory, Johnny bravo, power puff girls, the replacements and many others lost a lot in overall quality of visuals and storytelling after switching to this pointy "adobe flash" style of design. I guess it usually was an economic choice

​​​@@wisconsinking323 How come? They were one of the networks most popular's shows

Always find it funny how Jake's VA also did the voice of Zuko in ATLA and the VA for Rose also was the VA of Katara in ATLA. Quite interesting.

I love your videos so much Jordan Fringe keep up the good work man

I always thought it was funny John DiMaggio played 2 different magical dogs in 2 different series, and they were practically the same lol

I know everyone's talking about the art but there were also some serious dialogue changes between first and second season Like not sure if anyone's watched it recently but they use so much slang and blaccent in the first season that you almost can't understand them (specifically the main trio). So, at least the second season improved in that regard?

Um they're literally in New York and they are teens so it makes sense that they would speak in that way? Idk why you had to bring race into it, but even then, AAE wouldn't be that out of place in a very urban area with many minorities.

Oh, I thought this was another one of you videos of last year. Turns out this has just been uploaded, an hour ago!! Lol Love your content :)

Rewatching the series with my little brother on Disney plus and I just can’t help but love it so much and wish there was way more of it. Bring it back and let me groove your the theme song

I think I prefer the 2nd season slightly more style wise except for Jake's dragon form. I just really enjoyed the 1st season more there

I personally love both each one has their own chrome that works with me 🙂

This was a really great series that I miss. Completely forgot about this. Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for always refreshing my childhood ! You’re on a roll my guy keep it up !

Thanks for the support!

I couldn’t stand the animation change. I always loved the OG animation style and never watched the 2nd season. But a live action would be awesome! Love to see it!

I liked the style of the first season way more.

was looking for this when i first found your channel, knew it was coming sooner than later haha

I would love if you did a deep dive into this series. This show inspired me to make my own fan fiction series I still have in a series of ring notebooks gathering dust in my closet. This show was my childhood and I hope you explore it further. I'm 34 now and still have a fond feeling for this series. Thanks for your content making me feel like a kid again. Can't wait to see what you do next. ❤️✌️😎

I had always felt like I was the only one who LOVED the new art style because of how unique it was. A lot of people seem to not like it, but I wonder if it would have been the other way around if there started with the 2nd style first.

The second art style looks way better to me outside of the dragon designs. Unfortunately that is kind of an important element.

Same! Years after the show, I realized a lot of people didn’t like the newer style and I loved it. The characters didn’t look so pudgy and Jake’s dragon form actually has a thinner design, more like a Chinese dragon. I never cared for the huge dragon chest when he’s already a spindly human 🤷‍♀️

Marshall Lee I mean, the dragon side of him is Chinese. He just happens to be half-American and live/protect NYC.

I remember this one fondly. I can't say I was as interested in following American Dragon: Jake Long's overarching storyline as I was Avatar: the Last Airbender's, but there was a period where I had moderate, adequate interest in trying to catch every episode (although I'm sure there are a few from the first season I probably ultimately missed). Jake was hot-headed and cocky at first, which can be unlikable traits in a main character, although he was well-played by Zuko VA Dante Basco. But, I still found myself liking him, Rose, and the supporting cast a lot. Except for Spud and one or two others, they all seemed to have a slight degree of complexity for a kid/tween's show, maybe a half notch above the characters in Danny Phantom. But I found my overall love of the show hampered by the art redesign in the 2nd season. I found it vastly inferior. Biggest way I can express this is through one example: Jordan says the show crew found Jake's dragon remake form to be better skinny than the original broad and muscular one. I disagree. I thought the broad design more appealed to what a kid's idea of an ideal fantasy monster design to be than the remake's. That basically carries over to all the other design changes too. In almost every case, the original was better, and the redesign was a boneheaded move. That said, season 2 had better writing than season 1. I like that things got more serious as the show went on. American Dragon: Jake Long is still good, but its mere above average Saturday morning cartoon writing quality and a disparate art style difference between both seasons keep it from being one of the classics. I'd rank it above shows like El Tigre and Kappa Mikey and alongside shows like Danny Phantom and Xiaolin Showdown. Avatar, seasons 1-3 SpongeBob, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Star Vs., and the average anime of the past 20 years best it as a piece of media.

NICE! I remember I asked you about this a short while ago, I guess now is the time! Would love to see the full retrospective.

Great video Jordan. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality. Hope you do a video over That's So Raven soon.

Yo which art style did you like more, season one or season two?

Season one

Too many unnecessary changes went on in the 2nd season. 1st season was way better

Im so glad you covered this. I just thought this show (along with Brandi and Mr. Whiskers) was just a fever dream i had as a 6 year old pulling an all-nighter on disney channel and oreos

i think this was one of the shows that introduced kid me to the concept of thinking that something is good while not caring about it at all

Am I the only one who really dislikes the season 2 redesign for Jake? Like, his arms are sticks, and he's supposed to be strong, ya know, as a dragon. Ye I get it looks more like a Chinese dragon but come on, he's an American Dragon, it's ok for him to look distinct, and the season 1 design is much better at that.

Why did he become from a hot cool dragon to a skinny ugly one... :(((

It was so cool when Jake Long was added to Disney Heroes Battle Mode a mobile game featuring 200+ Disney characters!

I wish there was season 3 of this legendary childhood. Sadly it ended in 2007😢😢😢

to this day, the phrase "it's called a COMB" lives in my head rent free

I loved that show as a kid. I was so confused with the new art style. To be honest I liked the dragons design in season 1 more. Those kinds of dragons looked so strong and cool and the wormy dragon form in season 2 felt a bit weird, even if I love long dragons now. The ending killed me, it was so sad.

Indeed I do remember. That series premiered on my birthday (the best birthday gift) and it was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.😊

American Dragon Jake Long was ahead of its time. The first and only Asian cartoon show on Disney.

LOVED the first season of this show. No idea why, but the 2nd Season is a much harder watch for me. The fact there was potentially a live action movie I'll never get to see has me crying haha 🥲

I loved the show soo much that even years later I looked up the series just to rewatch it.

This is one of the best anime I've seen so far! It reminds me of my childhood... when I would get out of school and come home quickly to watch TV. ❤❤❤ I will never forget that time.
