I remember watching this cartoon back in the day, I clearly remember Loving it a lot, the Animation is truly something to admire, I'm pretty sure it was also in Book of life, just in Computer Generated, out of all the Great shows Nick Needs to bring back, El Tigre is my number one choice, next to Teenage robot & Danny Phantom. I'm Mexican myself so of course I would find El Tigre Awesome

After hearing a fact that the creator of 'The Book Of Life' also produced this particular show, i decided to go on it's web-page on Nicktoons.com to see what lies in there for me. When i saw some episodes, never i thought that it would've blown me away.To start off on my review, ill start with the most important element of any cartoon; The Story. It tells the life of a 13-year old boy named Manny Rivera, A young super-hero who is the son of a hero known as White Pantera, but unfortunately the son of a villain known as Puma Loco. Due to this, Manny Rivera's superhero alter-ego has to choose a side: Good or Evil. What makes the writing good is just how complex the Manny himself is (which I'll get into later) and how creative the writing can be with the premise of each episode. The only catch is that sometimes the story structure can get messed up and can be left with a few plot holes here and there, but that doesn't hold it back from being so well-written.Now the Animation. They weren't kidding when they said this came from the creator of 'The Book Of Life'! This is possibly some of the most creative animation to come out of Nicklodeon! The backgrounds and setting are set in a Dia de Los Muertos theme and they look amazing and it can get really colorful at times. Same applies to the character design and animation. Not to mention that it can get pretty fast at times and it's not so sudden like in other Nick cartoons.The Characters are just right down likable. El Tigre/Manny, like i said before, is such a complex character with him having a hard choice to be Good or Evil. This can make him one of the most Likable Nick protagonists of all time. Manny's Best Friend/ Possible Love Interest, Firda is one of the funniest female kid characters nickelodeon has written. Plus i like that they don't make her so focused on her comedic/tomboy side to the point she becomes annoying, they keep her funny yet likable at the same time. Even White Pandara and Puma Loco are funny and likable. Same with the main villains (Santana, Black Cuervo, El Oso)Why don't people talk about this as often as Spongebob and TMNT? Pepole, go to the web-page of this show on Nicktoons' website and go see the episodes of them and have a good time in Maricle City!

Oh dear.This was such a terrible cartoon, and it was one of the first instances of Nickelodeon's Network Decay. At first, I thought that "El Tigre" was going to be a bland rip-off of "Mucha Lucha" (Another bad and poorly made animated series) Unfortunately, it turned out to be much worse than that, because while "Mucha Lucha" was incredibly boring and unfunny, at least, it wasn't so irritating as this awful cartoon."El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera" not only had a terrible animation (With hideous, incredibly unappealing character designs and a eye-searingly ugly use of colors) but also had some of the most characters that I've ever seen in any other cartoon before.I guess that the writers were trying to make to protagonist a "complex" character making him unable to chose between being a hero or a villain...Sadly, instead of that, he just appear to be an amoral jerk who is not even funny and in Manny ways wasn't much better than his enemies. I also disliked a lot Manny's Best Friend, Frida, who was also another amoral, unlikeable character.The only good thing about this awful series was Carlos Alazraqui voice acting in the role of Grandpapi Rivera (Who was also another annoying and unfunny character, but the voice acting was good) "El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera" was an awful series which is best forgotten. It was so bad that it almost made "Mucha Lucha" look good in comparison, being dumber and having much more idiotic stripes. I think that is shame that even today, Nickelodeon keeps producing terrible animations like this.

El Tigre must have been pulled because it would have overtaken spongebob in popularity as it is witty and has a lot of funny (well timed) jokes and fun stuff going on.I found myself having the same feelings about stuff they creators of the show have (yes i do have a fetish to pop every bubble in bubblewrapping).This is one of those shows that got pulled because it was way to good and modern, American's do not like funny humor.. come to think of it... same with Germans.Short: Watch it, i'm 23 i enjoy the shows a lot way more than my younger brother (8 years) because i've got more life experience which you need to understand most of the jokes.
