The show was highly underrated especially when compared to successful TV series like pokemon, yugioh, digimon and basically every other kids show that falls into that fantasy monster category. The intro is one of the best of any animated show and Id recommend listening to it yourself. Keep in mind the shows like pokemon and yugioh were Japanese anime and are not in the same category of animation. And although shows like rugrats and every single animated batman can attract high acclaim for some reason people like to bash this show instead of taking it for what it is. I can agree disliking animation for something such as the batman animated series especially for being such a large well known franchise character and giving high expectations. Having poor animation can be seen as lazy, but Chaotic was a new show idea based on a trading card game and the animation to me at least is not what I consider bad. I can still enjoy watching an episode of the original scooby doo and that animation is arguably worse and more "poorly" done than chaotic. I believe that the show just came out to late for the 90s generation to critic it, the memories or their favourite animated shows being better possibly. However I remember this being in my top 3 animated American shows and I think it holds up.
