Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!

I first heard of this cartoon when it first came out and I had to check it out. I was amazed at it's originality and classic composure. Chiro and the gang are way cool. It's action packed, comedic (thanks to Sprx-77 or Sprx), and stunning. A great show for kids and adults alike. Robot monkeys are what every teenager wants to have right? Kung Fu action, a giant robot, and an evil Skeleton King? Everyone's fantasy! S.R.M.T.H.F.G. has everyone's favorite team of robotic primates ready for action and adventure whenever ya need them! This is one of the best shows to hit television. A well made series with an awesome cast of characters you can treasure and love.

RWBY stans, feast your eyes on a Japanese inspired cartoon that will make you want to binge the entire series in one day. THIS! It's fun and full of energy and action. The art style reminds me of Gainax and My Life As A Teenage Robot. The voice acting is magnificent. I wish this show lasted a little longer, though. It was so much hyperactive fun.

So I'm a cartoon freak. Officially. So sitting down for an early Sunday morning in front of Jetix was nothing new - Sonic X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... this is every other kids channel with severe kick-ass abilities added. So when S.R.M.T.H.G came on, I had to watch. After watching, I came to the conclusion that... robotic monkey things rule, Corey Feldman kicks as a monkey and the show kicks ass. No question.

Where else but Shuggazoom City would you find a huge robot abandoned in the middle of nowhere? And inside that robot is five way cool monkeys? Not in my local area at least (please report anything of that nature to your local neighbourhood watch). It's such an unbelievable show that it's almost believable and there's lots of funky kungfu fighting to keep me feeling violent. Yeah... it kicks.

This show was made in America, wtf? I first saw this on the Japanese version of the Disney channel a couple of weeks ago here in Japan. I had no idea it wasn't made here.

Japanese writing on the title. Campy theme song that sounds like it was recorded in one of those "you can be a superstar!" instant demo tape karaoke booths. Cheap 2-D animation. Title of random English words that makes absolutely no sense in either language and would be considered an entire sentence if it had any recognizable parts of speech. Mouths that flick mechanically between four positions - open, closed, gaping hole, and nonexistent.

The whole thing screams your typical daytime-TV Japanese animated show that come a dime a dozen over here. And not the kind they have out now that takes advantage of more creative plot lines and modern animation techniques. I'm all for international exchange of art forms, but instead of emulating the Japanese shows that actually have plot and style, this show emulates all of the horrible and campy things that the Japanese are finally beginning to get rid of in their own animated shows. It's like Engrish, except that Engrish is only funny if it's seriously created by someone who doesn't speak the language. When the Japanese do it, it's cute. When Americans do it, it's silly. It makes my head hurt.

That said, I can't hate it. The animation is clean and flows well. And the English version employs my two favorite voice actors to voice the main character and the main villain. Who can go wrong with Mark Hamill playing the bad guy? And while it doesn't bring anything new to television that the Japanese haven't been doing for the last forty years, it's still the kind of show that I would probably have watched and loved as a kid. Today's kids will like it.

This is going to be another great cartoon. This series is like a combination of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Powerpuff Girls and Transformers. This is another one of my favorite cartoon action shows along with "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Spider-Man", "X-Men", "Spider-Man Unlimited", "Sonic Underground", "X-Men: Evolution", "Teen Titans", "Sonic X", "Kirby: Right Back At Ya!", "Shaman King", "Medabots", "Swat Kats", "Silver Surfer", "Batman", "Batman Beyond", both versions of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Totally Spies", "Action Man", "Digimon", "Beyblade", "Escaflowne", "Gargoyles", "Mighty Ducks" and "Mon Colle Knights" and some others. The show is about a teenage boy named Chiro who was exploring the outskirts of Shuggazoom City and discovers a giant and abandoned Super Robot. Chiro's life changes when he discovers the Power Primate and becomes a leader of five bionic monkeys to save the city from the Skeleton King! I like the 5 monkeys on the team because think they can be cute on times. The 5 monkeys are Gibson (The blue monkey. Gibson has drills. Gibson is smart, he's the team science guy.), Nova (The yellow monkey. Nova likes to fight, she has big hands, she can smash, pound, and slam with them. She can practically break anything. She's very feisty. Nova is the team's bravest warrior.), Antauri (The black monkey. Antauri is smart and gives good words of wisdom, he uses his claws for attacking.), Otto (The green monkey. Otto can cut things with his blades for hands. His attack is psycho chopping doom spin. He's the team's mechanic and also kinda dumb.) and Sprx-77 or called Sparx (The red monkey. Sprx has magnets that can give enemies quite a shock. He is the team comedian. There might be a possible love interest between Sprx and Nova.) together they are Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce GO!
