We love non-robotic animated robots. Instead of a monotonous voice, he has a human-like personality and emotions. These robots are rarer than people realize, so I was happy to see a new series featuring two robots with distinctly different personalities.
Colossal Robot Brothers: Stream or Skip.
Opening Shot: A typical city on Earth with people doing their own thing. Suddenly, a hole opens above the earth.
Summary: Dr. Rhodes and Dr. Rhodes, a couple of eminent scientists, are sucked into a space anomaly called Optical Rheometric Tactilis (or ORT for short). 200 days have passed since Extreme Defense His Force Captain Creed (Delbert Hunt) does exactly what Roses predicted, especially as aliens called Kaiju attack through his ORT to save the planet, Roses' genius daughter Alex (Eva Ariel Binder). ).
By the way, Alex is 3 years old. However, she has designed a robot called Shiny (Eric Lopez) to fight Kaiju. He's round and a bit goofy, but he's keen on fighting, eager to follow Alex's orders, and quickly defeats Kaiju monsters despite destroying half of downtown where the fight takes place. He then goes "off-book", heads to ORT, and gets sucked into the void.
He emerges from the other side, in what appears to be the same city, but is greeted by Thunder (Chris Diamantopoulos). Thunder (Chris Diamantopoulos) is a very serious robot with a cannon arm. Shiny doesn't think it's possible as he's the only robot of his kind, but then when teenage Alex (Marisa Dawila) shows up, Shiny realizes he's his ten I know you traveled years ago. Alex tells Shiny that she was missing all along with her parents.
Alex also designed Thunder, so technically he thinks Thunder is his Shiny's little brother, and Shiny's tech is inferior. Thunder refers to him as a "prototype". However, when a more powerful kaiju monster attacks the city, the two are sent to the scene.Shiny is now only ordered to observe by Colonel Creed, but of course he disobeys orders. He fights lightning until a cobra-like monster attacks his "big brother". The two then unite.
What reminds you? Super Giant Robot Brothers goes along the same goofy lines as My Life As A Teenage Robot.
Our take: Produced by Victor Maldonado and Alfredo Torres and directed by Marc Andrews, Super Giant Teenage Robot That's one of the reasons we found it so appealing.The show is chaotic, especially in the EDF command center, which is run efficiently like the Tower of Babel, with people talking to each other. can be Shiny looks like a robot designed by a toddler, but it's twirling and missing teeth. But very serious Thunder seems to work better with Shiny than without Shiny.
This is classical odd-pair dynamics. Shiny is stupid but confident in his abilities, and Thunder doesn't approve of his brother's stupidity. But what they have in common is that they are not sensitive. Whether they're fighting kaiju or each other, they're flattening buildings and cratering roads. I wonder where these people are and which robot hero they're afraid of kaiju fighting.
Anyway, it would be fun to see the two of them get to know each other and Alex trying to figure out what he did to make Shiny work when he was three. You did it when you were 3 years old. she asks Creed.
I was also drawn into the animation, which appears to have been done, at least in part, via his motion capture. The style is somewhat similar to the crude and ancient CGI used in Dire Straits' Money For Nothing video from 37 years ago, but the motion flow is smoother. and dynamic. It's a visually appealing mix of highly detailed animations depicting the likes of ORT and somewhat crude and cartoony characters, and it certainly gives viewers a lot to see. 59}
Recommended Age: This show is rated TV-Y7 with a recommended minimum age of 7. There are some cartoonish deaths. For example, a reporter says the Kaiju turns into a skeleton by spitting acid, but still "it stings." —and a pace that might scare younger kids.
Farewell shot: The brothers walk off into the sunset. Shiny says he can train Thunder to fight Kaiju. “You are an incompetent prototype,” says Sander. "Oh, thank goodness," Shiny tells him.
Sleeper Star: Anime Eric Lopez, a veteran of his series — he's the latest voice actor for Bumblebee Man in The Simpsons— does a great job as Shiny doing. He has a lot of personality that most cartoon robots don't have, as well as teenage arrogance. There is a long and silly exchange between the brothers when they say, "I'm there to save Dr." roses and roses. Are they both doctors or just one, Sunder asks, and identifies how many roses are doctors in the country. It'll heal itself when you start revealing... Oh, and here's another reference for adults. One command center representative asks another, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Our call: Stream it. The Colossal Robot Brothers are indeed chaotic and move fairly quickly. It's definitely faster-paced than any cartoon I've seen as a kid...but it does have a good odd couple dynamic, voice acting who are actually actors, and some goofy jokes in the action of fighting aliens.
