    Megas XLR is my Favorite show, a show with great animations all hand drawn and great satire and Action mech battles to the finest degree. So it's a real shame cartoon network cut it after only 2 seasons, It also has a fantastic soundtrack with some amazing original rock and metal soundtracks. It deserved a more season for sure but the creators have had trouble getting the rights back to it even though whoever has them I don't believe they will it's been so long and the fans myself one of them wish the originals would be able to be broadcasted on a new TV station again and new seasons and content to com back, maybe on Netflix or on youtube funded by someone that could and gives the original creators full control. So if you love this show tell cartoon network and others that could bring this how back that we want this show to return. Give it a buy on xbox live or Itunes that is where you can buy it and I promise you will love the show as much as me if you think it sounds good. The shows plot is about a robot sent back to the early 21 century and a guy that loves to eat named Coop finds it in the junkyard and fixes it up and then after that his friend Jamie and a girl worries that sent Megas back in time and they fight foes from around the galaxy with great comedy and action with one of the best soundtracks for a cartoon ever. It is an example of a show that is you will enjoy over and over again please give it a buy and then watch it and have a great time.

    "Megas XLR " is one of the funniest cartoons that I've watched in the recent years. The story is a parody of the typical Japanese shows involving giant robots: Coop ,the main character is all the opposite of a hero, being fat, lazy and not very brilliant. One day, he and his friend Jamie found a giant robot that they repair and make their personal toy, using it for things as get a better place in a concert or impress the girls. Soon, Kiva, a girl for the future, and the creator of Megas arrives from the future ,saying that the robot is the only weapon that could destroy the alien invaders from the future. Of course, Coop refuses to give it to her,but after she see how Coop destroys the soldiers from the aliens, she accepts stay with them to help them with the enemy ( they don't listen her anyway )Since the first chapter, I loved this show.I think that is great the way how it use the anime stereotypes to create a great comedy, using references not only to Japanese animation, but also to many movies and TV-shows. I can't believe that Cartoon Network canceled it. Bring it back!

    Megas XLR: A great show with humour, pop-culture, and kick-ass art.When I first saw Megas XLR, I ignored it. I thought, oh great. Another anime wannabe. And I have regretted saying that ever since. Its an amazing show! And I absolutely treasure it, it's rating being in my top ten shows I need to watch after a long hard day at work. Why do I love this show? Because of the plot. There pretty much isn't one. And thats the excellence of it, no complicated stories, no accidentally missing key things in the plot. You can actually get the show straight away. Its simple. A guy called Coop and his friends get a robot an smashes buildings and planets while saving the world. The dialogue is brilliant too, right up there with the Simpsons. Enjoyable comedic humour that slides just under the table for adults and under the table for kids. Its a perfect show for universal entertainment. Although it gets a lot of bashing from 'otakus' (anime fans) because of the similarities with anime for art work, I have to ask... So what?! It's an excellent show combining western and eastern techniques for a perfect blend. Its flawless. Its fast paced, direct, funny show. And everyone should dig giant robots. The show is just that brilliant.

    This is a pretty good show. I like it a lot. In the year 2300+ the Earth is taking over by an alien race named the Glorbs. The Earth resistance fighters stole an prototype robot from the Glorbs and planned to use against them, but the Glorbs caught on to this and came after the robot. The new plan was to send the robot back in time at the beginning of the war to change the outcome of the future. But something went wrong and the robot. The robot was sent to the 1930s and ended up in a junkyard. Now in the present a dude name Coop found the robot all bang up. He bought the robot for $2 and fixed it up not knowing its real purpose. Soon after the resistance fight who stole the robot, Kiva came back to the present to demand the robot back and so did the Glorbs. Kiva wanted the robot back, but Coop had fixed the robot in a way that Kiva could no longer pilot it. Now Coop must pilot the robot and defeat the Glorbs to save the future.This show is blend of American and Anime animation. Which, to me works pretty well. I'll put it like this. Its Anime with American attitude.
