Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
scamp4553 Thank God this show doesn't air on TV anymore, because this show does not deserve any positive recognition whatsoever. My Life As A Teenage Robot is everything bad about modern cartoons. First off, the animation sucks. Yeah, some of the crew who worked on this show also worked on relatively good shows such as The Powerpuff Girls, but the animation here is still very awful. The character designs look very stupid, and in some shots they appear to look like random doodles. And secondly, and most importantly, I hate the main character of this show, XJ9. If I'm watching a movie or a TV show, there's supposed to be a main character that I can root for and is an overall good person who learns whenever he/she does something wrong. Unfortunately, XJ9 (who is also called Jenny) is the most selfish, rude, and disgusting piece of rotting flesh I have ever seen. The one episode that really infuriates me is the Preschool Dropout one, where she knocks out a class of kindergartners for teasing her, but even worse, they all think it's awesome because she was "showing off her powers". I would have beaten the unholy Hell out of her if I were one of those kids. This character needs to be dragged into the street and beaten endlessly with a crowbar. For a good Nicktoon, watch early SpongeBob, Rocko's Modern Life, Jimmy Neutron, The Wild Thornberries, and The Angry Beavers. If you're a Nick Jr fan, watch Little Bear or Franklin (the traditionally animated one). Avoid this horrendous pile of garbage at all costs.
shadowguy12 Why would you make a teenage robot? Teenagers aren't gonna feel like saving the world at all. I know I wouldn't. And metal and electricity doesn't make you have "The strength of a million and seventy men".I think this show takes place in the future, though not too distant, because most of the people in the direct serving line of work are robots, and the robots have personalities. But I still don't understand how there are good robots. If I was a robot and treated as a slave and had a personality, then I'd plan a robot uprising, which does happen by a robot race, but Jenny, the main robot, stops them.Something else that is weird is a human likes her. His name is Sheldon, and he is attracted to her. There must be a word for that, like heterobosexuality, but it would make sense if there wasn't a word for it, because it would NEVER HAPPEN.The biggest thing that doesn't make any possible sense is all the robots have genders! How does Jenny have a gender?! Was she made with an Animatronic woman part or something?! She would also be a slut if she was human, because she gets some slutty paint job in one episode.All right, that's my review. And it's true because these are the reasons it lasted for about 2 seasons. 3/10.
Cloud Strife Well, I'm impressed. At first I thought it was just another crappy Nickelodeon show again, but I gave it a show, and I don't regret it even the slightest. I was expecting nothing, since Rocket power was a HUGE disappointment. Man, was I surprised or what? The voice acting is great! The only voice I don't really like is Brad's. He actually sound better in the Swedish dub! Janice Kawaye was a great pick for XJ-9 "Jenny" Wakeman. She is a first class dubber, indeed.The story isn't that original (not to mention any spoilers). It is well drawn and I really love the animations for all Jenny's transformations. They are vary original. Very smooth animated. Overall, this is absolutely the best show on Nickelodeon at the current. I can't believe they actually canceled it! If you haven't seen it yet; do it! Thank you, Rob Renzsetti for a great classic cartoon! 10/10
Glen B.Wang So far, Nick's current line-up is pure horror (The Fairy Oddparents, As Told By Ginger, All Grown Up) but only one of them makes an exception: enters the Blue Girl, XJ-9 from the future! (or should I say retro-future in this case!) My Life As A Teenage Robot is a surprisingly good Nick Toon that tells the story of a girl robot who saves the day by fighting evil alien invaders and other menacing villains from all sides of the world and the universe (hey, that probably sounds like a Powerpuff Girl rip-off but Rob Renzetti, who creates this show, has also worked on several PPG episodes before, so I abide by that fact) while facing challenges as an ordinary teenager in real-life situations! And if you think the word 'teenager' will often lead to concussion that the show will feature head-banging rock songs and typical teenage punks, think again! TR's artwork and background designs are heavily inspired by classic cartoons of the 20s (think of it as an Oswald cartoon in its newer form), out-of-date anime and even classic buildings of the Golden Years while maintaining the very essence that makes every hit show (Samurai Jack, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, PPG) an instant classic.But that's not all, folks! Every episode is as sweet as the rest, thanks to its inventive ideas, fluid animation (the best examples include Jenny's transformations and even in one scene where Jenny outfashions her rivals by revealing her fancy costumes, in which I personally think is the best I've seen in recent years), wonderful voice acting and colorful character personalities! The music is, unlike the usual pop songs that are often heard in teenage-themed shows like As Told By Ginger, surprisingly pleasant and is predominantly reminiscent to the ones heard in Tartakovsky/McCracken shows, in addition to the cool techno music. To sum it up, MLAATR is cute, funny, unexpected and a real blast to watch from start to finish. It is hard to underestimate a Nick Toon like this one, especially when you have no idea what the Blue Girl has up her sleeves!
