[2] Unlike traditional puppet shows, Pili uses computer generated imagery (CGI) during action sequences.

In February 2006, the American company Animation Collective, known for Kappa Mikey and Speed Racer: The Next Generation created an edited version of Pili on Cartoon Network titled Wulin Warriors.

In 2016, Nitroplus, Good Smile Company, and Pili International Multimedia produced Thunderbolt Fantasy, created by Gen Urobuchi, which premiered that summer.

The show features slight differences from Pili's usual production approach, including half hour long episodes and anime-inspired character designs.

This makes War of Dragons the first installment of the main Pili series to air in English speaking countries in an uncut format.
