Sundown Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Anyone else think the alien enemy reminds a little of the Invid/Inbit? They've got the same slughead look as one of the Invid's forms, and they've even got a "Regis". -Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKWIND Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 True that and how the original MEGAS head looked like Optimus Prime. Cool homage. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Last Wednesday, I got the opportunity to meet Wendee Lee at USC during an anime/voice acting seminar. She said that a second season of Megas XLR is in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I watched one episode--the one where Megas is impounded by the DMV. I though it was okay but not inspired; basically I agree with JsArclight's comments. I felt like the creators thought that if they injected the right cultural references, they could get away with mediocre scripting. If I were to compare it with something, I'd say it's kind of like the cartoon version of The Tick. But I loved The Tick. The genre references were appealing yet many episodes went far beyond the comicbook parody to achieve a unique zaniness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKlown Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Oops, I forgot to mention there was yet another Macross parody in last week's episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowyunskinny Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Does anyone have the Pilot episode from a few years back that was animated by Madhouse (Ninja Scroll, Trigun)? It was part of Cartoon Networks, viewer's choice contest of which pilot would be picked up as a series. It was called Lowbrow back then.

treatment Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I spot-watch this series and while it's got lots of parodies, it's mostly ain't as good or addicting as ATHF, Sealab-2021, and Venture Bros. However, I really did like that Ultra Cadets episode. That parody of sailor-moon anime was even way better than the actual sailor-moon anime.

Dangaioh Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 They even made the drawing for one of the Glorf ships look like a cross between the front part of the Macross (ship mode) and the back end of a Meltran ship. Watch tonite's rerun for oct.31 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was called Lowbrow back then. I remember seeing it (and voting for it), but I long since recorded over the tape.... Frankly, I love the show. Like it better than most of the Adult Swim fare..... Anyone see the return of Magnanimous? The robot Elvis with boomstick and chainsaw was just too damn cool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
