Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 28 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Upon discovering ancient stones with dinosaur images imprinted on them, a 12-year-old boy named Max Taylor (Ryuta Kodai) and his friends Rex Owen and Zoe Drake (Malm Tatsuno), discover they are able to call forth dinosaur companions. These companions will aid the owners in stopping the nasty Alpha Gang from coming into possession of the mysterious stones and crush their chances at world domination.
