Sym-Bionic Titan

With likable characters, creative story, and great Tartakovsky visuals (enhanced with some 3D CG animation)!

I was quite curious about this animated series after looking at the screencaps online. After seeing the series on Amazon Video, I immediately enjoyed it and wished it were available on DVD or Blu-ray.

This is a "mecha" animated series, most likely influenced by Japanese "mecha" anime. Of course, the story is about three alien beings: the planet's princess, her soldier protector, and their robot companion. They went to Earth to flee their adversary, who had taken over their planet, Galaluna. The enemy, however, had sent giant monsters to find and destroy the three. But our heroes form a giant robot known as "Titan."

I was disappointed that they didn't have a second season. Anyway, as I said, I love this series with its story and stunning animation. And again, I really wish the series was on DVD or Blu-ray.

-Interesting animation and style. -Characters with flaws that you can still love and see them grow. -Right when they present a cliche, they BREAK IT. -More into the drama than the robot aspect, but the robot is still awesome. -Isn't afraid to get serious at many points.

-Cancelled WAY too soon. I can't give it a 10 because you never get to see what else they were planning.

I love this series, but I couldn't help but draw parallels from Neon Genesis Evangelion to this. I wouldn't be surprised if the creator was influenced by it.

This show is just so amazing! It has brilliant action! It has brilliant, deep, episodes that will really make you think, forcing you into deep thought! The characters are likable! The show has great humor! It has TERRIFIC voice acting! Its' very concept is ingeniously original! You just end up wanting more and more of this show!

Sadly, it was canceled after the 1st season due to Cartoon Network not being able to make a deal to make a toy line...to attract viewers...a toy line...something the show didn't need...

The sheer brilliance of this show is enough to light up a room! Kids will like it! Pre-teens will like it! Even teens and people in their 20's will like it! It'd take someone like Genndy Tartakovsky or Rebecca Sugar to make a show like this!

I'd still definitely suggest watching the 1st season and just soaking up the sheer originality and brilliance that this show is made out of! Watch it! You won't regret it!
