Megas Xlr

[EVA Unit 100]

Does anyone around here like the show? Ultimately I think it's one of the few good shows (sans Adult Swim) on CN currently. The show does a good job with some satire on New Jersey and a bit of character development, but ultimately what makes it great is the parodies. It's almost like an American equivalent of the Excel Saga, only slightly better due to actually having a plot and being a bit more accessable given that it has a more equal mix of both American and Japanese refferences. A small list of notable things parodied from the show:

MTV
Escaflowne
Gundam
The Big O
Downtown
Dragonball Z
Street Fighter
Transformers
McDonalds
Dance Dance Revolution
Bruce Campbell
Return of the Jedi
Regis Philbin
The Matrix Reloaded
The Iron Giant
Gatchaman/G-Force/Battle of the Planets
Power Rangers
Voltron
FLCL
Halo
Godzilla
Every gaming system
The Smurfs
Pokemon
The DMV
The "pop-rocks-soda" legend
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
Philly cheese steaks
Sailor Moon
Blockbuster Video
Mr. T
Macross
Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead
Area 51
Captain Harlock
Princess Mononoke
Batman: TAS
Tim Burton's Batman
Sonic the Hedgehog
Mario Bros.
The Terminator

My personal favorite episode is either the first "S-Force" episode or the Thanksgiving special.

Man, I love that show. My favorite epsiode are a tie between any of the S-force ones. I love those ones because, I used to watch the Battle of the planets. It's just funny to see how they make fun of them.
