Synopsis

Megas XLR is a series about an overweight couch potato named Coop who stumbles across a giant robot in a junkyard. He soon discovers that the robot was sent from the future when a woman named Kiva returns to the past to claim what is rightfully hers, though Coop made so many modification to the machine so he's the only one who can fully operate it. Things also heat up when Coop learns that an alien race called the Glorft are also after his MEGAS robot, so he teams up with Kiva and his best friend Jamie to fight them off, though mostly so he can keep his new toy.

c-kelly24 Every now & again a show comes along that's is just before its time like the Galaxy Rangers, Mighty Orbots & so forth but then there are those shows that come out at the right time & are just wicked awesome. Megas XLR was one of the greatest Cartoon Network shows to ever be created, it was right up there with Dexter, PPG & all the other great old school Cartoon Network shows. I mean come on the story was brilliant. 2 dudes find a giant robot repair & kick other robots, monsters & what ever else that got in their way butt. For 2 seasons this happened & for two seasons it was glorious to watch these two dudes Coop & Jamie fight along side their new friend Kiva to stop aliens from blowing up the earth on a daily bases. Of course they did their share of damage to the planet but it was fun to watch. If you wanted a show full of action & chicks digging giant robots this was it. Sadly it ended in 05' & nobody will put it on DVD yet but if they do buy it, watch it, love it. I still can't figure out why there was only 2 seasons.
Golden_Joe I think that Megas was one of the best shows of Cartoon Network, too bad that it was too short. Basically it takes the anime clichés of a teen that uses a giant robot against aliens invaders. However, Coop, the main character is complete opposite of the archetypical hero: he is fat, lazy, and stupid. And the most incredible thing is his good luck, that makes him practically invincible. The way this show combines action with comedy is quite original and interesting, I loved the way in what every episode ends (the most absurd and unpredictable that you could imagine) If you like anime, absurd humor and sci-fi, you should give a look at this. And if not, I still recommend it, because Megas have tons of fun to offer.
piccadilly-1 I initially thought of Megas what many others here did: "Oh, great. Just what we need, another giant robot show...." But I must say this is one of my favorite shows on television. To put it simply, Megas XLR does for giant robots, what Futurama does for science fiction: poking fun at but, at the same time, paying homage to a popular genre. So it's not the most intellectual program one could find. I still think you can get off your high horse one night a week for thirty minutes and enjoy a little satire towards the group of people known as 'gamers' who are into this stuff. And let's face it, if we're watching this show, there's a little gamer in all of us. And there's no harm in that. Everyone needs a hobby. I know I'm looking forward to new episodes.
rdatsun I'll admit am not a person whose into mecha cartoons. Sure watching giant robots pummel each other may appeal to some, but am partial on the genre itself. Mainly because the ones I watch are always too serious or have a deeper meaning to tell. Well finally comes mecha cartoon thats purely about saving the world...in the most unorthodox methods possible.Megas XLR (called Lowbrow when it premiered) is a about Coop, a lazy video game, food munching slacker that finds the robot Megas one day while hanging around at his local scrapyard. Unknowest to him that its a tool in saving the future that accidentally got blown to his timeline. After a bit of a paint job and some modifications (inculding ripping out the part that allows time travel) Coop fixes the bot and renames it XLR. No sooner then his first test drive with his long time bud Jamie. The real owner, a rough yet cute female warrior of the future named Kiva, comes to claim it with a evil alien force known as the Gloof right behind her. Since Coop remodified the robot's controls, he the only who knows how to pilot it . Thus he, along with Jamie and Kiva as support, becomes the Earth only hope in defeating the Gloof as well as other intergalactic baddies that come around. Heaven help us.The series is very unique, its a breath of fresh air that the hero is is a person who goes by his own methods, even if they tend to to backfire (and they often do). Jamie is a good comic relief, the usual woman chasing coward yet so quick to point out the flaws in Coop's plan. Kiva brings a good balance to the two slackers always complaining yet has to agree that whatever works works. Thankfully they didn't over blow her seriousness. Of course the real star is Megas, the souped up machine that will save the future with its truckload of firepower. It never ceases to surprise me what kind of weapons it'll pull out next. Which what make the show so fun. And lest not forget references to countless movies, video games, anime and general pop culture.The animation is colorful, fluid and of course anime inspired (though thankfully not all out anime i.e: The route Teen Titans took). Love the models for the villains Megas encounters too.Soundwise, a nice display of music cues. Usually cutting off when the characters comment on something weird or an attack fails giving the jokes extra flavor. The music itself okay, usual guitar licks and over the top dramatic pieces but it fits the action well. Overall, Cartoon Network has really got a winner on their hands with this original piece. So if any one wants a starting point in watching mecha cartoons or just don't want a serious mecha toon in general. Look no further, Megas XLR has your ignition.
