Chicks Dig Giant Robots!

[gridlore]

Megas XLR is by far one of the best cartoons on TV today. Consistently funny, poking fun at both the conventions of the genre (anime-0style giant robot battles) and our own culture.

Short form: Jersey City gearhead and slacker friend find a giant robot from the future in a junkyard. Coop, the gearhead, modifies the robot. Then the owners come looking for it, then the aliens it was meant to fight show up...

Tonight, Coop accidently loads a Galactic Prison cartridge into his X-box, thinking it's a video game. This releases dozens of world-beating monsters. Hilarity ensues.

What moved me to post about it was the main monster looked suspiciously like The Tarrasque of D&D fame.

Gamers. We're everywhere!

I love that show! The animation reminds me strongly of the Clerks show, but I haven't found a connection yet. David DeLuise, one of Dom's sons, does the voice of Coop.

Yeah. I fangirl just about everything. *Grin*

The Sailor Moon and Battle of the Planets/Voltron episode had me howling.

I can't seem to find it anymore, I didn't see it listed last night, what time what is on?

Saturdays at 2100, according to Cartoon Network. That's for the Eastern and Pacific time zones. Check you local listings.

It's one of my Saturday night shows! It's on right before Yu Yu Hakusho, so I never miss it. XLR, YYH, Fullmetal Alchemist and InuYasha all before I crash. :) I'm such an anime girl.
