Episode 0: Lowbrow
That's the wave-motion gun from
Space Battleship Yamato
!
Right up front, this isn't actually the proper first episode of the show. It's actually the pilot that premiered at the
Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest
of 2002.
And honestly, as a pilot, it's actually really good! Within the span of 7 minutes it essentially gives you everything you need to know. From the show's' premise, to the basics of its character dynamics, to the animation style.
Add onto that the really cool action sequence that caps everything off and the fact that every joke in the pilots lands dead on, and it's easy to see why
Low Brow
was the winner that year(especially now that I've seen the other pilots from the event for comparison).
"But DS!" My non-existent audience member cries out. "I don't have a spare 7 minutes to figure out what the heck this show even is!" Well lucky for you that I don't wanna make this post super short! As such, lemme just give you the run down of the type of show that
Low Brow
, to later be known to the world as
Megas XLR
, is!
The basic idea is that two everydudes stumble across a giant robot from the future. Coop(the big guy and our lead) salvages it and modifies it to become an attachment to his sweet car(among other things). Both he and his best friend Jamie plan to use it for mundane everyday stuff, but unfortunately for them it turns out that the robot they found, Megas, is the key to defeating an alien force known as the Glorf and preventing the future destruction of Earth.
Kiva is one of the soldiers from the future, who came back to try and get Megas back, but unfortunately for her, Coop's' modifications means she can't even hope to pilot it. Thus, the three of them need to work together to defeat the Glorf. What follows is a show filled with great action and fantastic character humor that plays fast and loose with the typical super robot formula ontop of making a ton of references to... just about everything in pop culture at the time(whether it be from the US or Japan!).
Really, it's just an overall fun time, and the pilot is no different.
