The ill Jedi
ILLest of 'em all!!
Watching it now, I'm only 15 minutes in and I am in love. Makes me feel like a kid again watching an awesome 80s cartoon. Genndy Tartakovsky is my hero and I have a new favorite show!!
Wow man, saw the show tonight...rad. Nice to see his direction hasn't missed a step. Exciting action scenes, good comedic chemistry between the main characters, and the art design...whoa momma! Battle of the Planets, Voltron, Rick Hunter, Big O, tons of anime I don't even recognize and POW you get SBT. Looks great in HD, love the design of the mech and totally want toys. This guy is the master at 2D animation, and oh yeah the Clone Wars was on too. Blown away fellas, where is my action figures of the Titan?
Watched this, this morning and absolutely loved it. It gave me a huge 80s vibe mixed in with the classic CW animation. I set my DVR for all new episodes and hope this series goes far.
Spoiler:Looks like suiting up in the middle of the mall is going to bite them in the ass big time as well!
Loved everything about it!Anyone catch the second episode? I absolutely loved it, great character moments, awesome dialogue...Particurarly liked the way they dealt with the aftermath of the first monster, and how they dealt with this one. Very creative.

Easily the best animated show (next to the Venture Brothers)! The thing I like is that it has a good time slot, right at the end of the kid cartoons and right before Adult Swim starts. I hope it attracts the kids as well as the grown ups so it can have a nice long run.I watched it last night. Effing awesome! Best show on TV right now.
You might wanna start with Voltron and G-Force.I want to find out what anime is influencing this show so I can fill out my DVD collection.

Tartakovksy drew inspiration from many sources. He grew up with mecha anime series from the 70's and 80's like Speed Racer, Robotech and Voltron and states: "For whatever reason, I have always loved the idea of kids driving giant robots." His biggest influence were John Hughes movies like Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, but the relationship between the two teenage leads was also inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky.
GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY: Well, what hasn't inspired Titan? Mainly, I think the two biggest influences have been John Hughes movies (Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, etc) and G-Force/Battle of the Planets. The character visual style is a mixed bag of goodies. Speed Racer, Astro Boy, the Fleischer Bros., and other Osamu Tezuka manga. The robots were designed by Paul Rudish and I think there’s always a Shogun Warrior aspect but for this project we were inspired by Micronauts (the toy line and not so much the comic book). I'm sure Paul has extra hidden influences that he keeps all to himself!!
