Trivia:
During the first episode, Coop attacks the alien mechas with an energy weapon in its chest. This is, in fact, the tip of the Yamato from "Uchû senkan Yamato" (1974), firing its primary cannon. more

"Megas XLR " is one of the funniest cartoons that I've watched in the recent years . The story is a parody of the typical Japanese shows about giant robots : Coop ,the main character is all the opposite of a hero :he is fat ,lazy and not very brilliant . One day ,he and his friend Jamie find a giant robot that they repair and make their personal toy , using it for things as get a better place in a concert or impress the girls . Soon ,Kiva , a girl for the future ,and creator of Megas arrives from the future ,saying that the robot is the only weapon that could destroy the alien invaders from the future.Of course ,Coop refuses to give it to her,but after she see how Coop destroys the soldiers from the aliens ,she accepts stay with them to help them with the enemy ( they don't listen her anyway )Since the first chapter ,I loved this show.I think that is great the way how it use the anime stereotypes to create a great comedy ,using references not only to Japanese animation ,but also to many movies and TV-shows . I can't believe that Cartoon Network canceled it . Bring it back !
