Titan Maximum: Season One



Titan Maximum: It's all about the monkey
One hundred years in the future, our solar system is protected by Titan Force Five, a squadron of crack pilots whose spaceships combine to form the giant robot Titan Maximum. After years of peace, the inactive team must hastily reassemble to square off against the biggest threat humanity has ever faced - but before they save the day, this new version of Titan Force Five must overcome their astounding incompetence.

Welcome to the world of Titan Maximum, 50% Power Rangers, 23% Voltron, and 64% Thunderbirds Are Go! This stop-motion series combines the worst of all those shows with the best of Robot Chicken and rolls it up into a 9-episode giant robot parody, the likes of which you've never seen before.

And there's a monkey, because, dang it, a monkey makes every TV show better. Just ask Greg Evigan.

The series was created by Tom Root and Matthew Senreich and includes the creative input and voices of Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, Rachael Leigh Cook and Dan...

Pure Stoopid Monkey Goodness
Titan Maximum is from the same creative team that does Robot Chicken. It's DEFINITELY not for kids, and is filled with references and jokes to various geek staples (sic-fi, anime, giant robots, action, etc.). It's appeal isn't for everyone, but I personally loved it. I have all 9 episodes from iTunes and for me the show definitely had a high rewatch value. I've read that the DVD set will (like iTunes) be the "censored" version (beeps for profanity). Best described as "Voltron for adults", with the Robot Chicken humor and stop-motion animation style.

very entertaining for a select audience
Firstly, i would like to point out that Titan Maximum, is not a show for everyone. If you are turned off by crude humor than this is not for you. But for the small audience that this show appeals to, it is top notch. I have grown up with adult swim for years now, and while i find some shows to be losing there appeal (becoming Stale), and new shows that are not as high in comedy quality that i expect, it was a breath of fresh air to see this show. Unlike shows like Robot chicken, i enjoy this show because it contains story to back up the jokes, making it much more interesting than say the 2:00 minute skits of Robot Chicken. Titan Maximum almost has an anime feel to it in my opinion, as the characters while maybe on their own wouldnt make it, the combination of their personalities make the show undoubtedly hilarious. I wont give anything else away, youll just have to find out for yourself if its your kind of humor.

Onto the actual release, it contains one dvd in standard...
