Roboterjunge

I suppose this was meant to be an homage to those mecha cartoons but it has none of the pizzazz that made this things popular. The bland, nice-to-everybody human protagonist and it's, let's-learn-a-life-lesson tone would have been better for a show with an even younger demographic.

The obese best friend seems to be an attempt to add some balance but he just an obnoxious stereotype of the portly that makes me uncomfortable and doesn't care about other people's feelings. The blonde kids that owns robot boy has this infatuation with a popular girl named "Bambi" who is just so blatantly a bit of a C-word, but he is into her anyway. I know it was probably meant as a kind of character arc but I felt short changed in that department. She's pretty cute and you see a sort of adult version of her in her Mom who wears a two piece alongside her daughter in one episode if I recall. It startled me a bit at the time how revealing it was but that's not a sin.

Robot boy has little personality beyond just being kind of cute. He's like Pikachu but without the spark.

I will say this though: it was pretty badass when Robot Boy goes super Sayan in one of those so-long-the-villain-would-so-get-them-in-real-life morphs into a huge, imposing form of himself.

Not even the humour felt professional. It relies too much on bodily functions and times itself awkwardly, showing what it should have cut.

And of course the antagonists command no real fear at all. They are clownish and I feel sorry for them if anything.

When I first watched Robotboy, I found it fresh and interesting, but then I noticed, that with each episode this show is trying to teach you how to behave yourself, what is good/bad. Episodes became predictable. And main characters are not interesting. Again we see a hyper-smart boy, beaten by his older brother, parents who don't understand their kid, and his friends: girl and fat boy. Also this show has no logic. A super-modern robot who works on two AA-size batteries, and can use a lot of weapons. But the biggest problem is the difference between activated and super-activated modes. We see two different robots, and it declines main idea of the show: "Robot must learn how to behave himself in human society"

Yes , it might not be as good as things like Regular Show , Teen Titans (2003) or Adventure Time , but it's decent.

Believe it or not, this show isn't horrible, but not as good as other shows like Ben 10 or Avatar. First of all, the idea of a robot who fights crime and learns the ways of life, doesn't that sound like it's been done several times already? Anyways, I'm really shocked that people rate this lower than a 3, does it really suck that bad!? I don't think so, but it's not going to blow you away or become your favorite show unless you really love shows about robots. Yeah the jokes are crude and there are some pretty inappropriate moments and the way they portray the villains and bullies is either surreal or for dark comic relief. Anyways I do like the visual style to the show, it reminds me of several other cartoons from the 90s (Dexter's Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, etc.) and it's got a lot of older references from the 60s. (Astroboy, Star Trek, etc.) A word of advice, please at least see this show once and if you don't like it then that's OK, this show is not for everyone but saying this show is horrible is basically saying that the Europeans have not talent when it comes to animation and this show is not racist either. So with that said, please check out Robotboy. Hey, at least it's better than Out of Jimmy's Head and Squirrel Boy which neither of those two shows have a fanbase unlike Robotboy.

I wish they can remade this show , now it will be a trully hit
