Baby!
Isn't this an Anime?
Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.
^ Nope, American. Looks much better animation-wise than most shows that mimic the style, but from that video it looks to be a Cliché Storm.

I'm bringing sexy back!
Wow! A show about kids with attitude? Amazing! A faux-Anime style? So original! Their friends with/train/fight monsters? Now that hasn't been beaten to death!
Sigh...
Looks generic, but I'll need more facts before I judge it. Never Trust a Trailer.

Unfortunately, this wave of American Anime knock offs is probably going to get stronger as the generation that idolizes anime becomes old enough to move into the creative bracket.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.
I don't care what it looks like as long as the writing isn't awful. I'll guess we'll wait and see, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I just saw the first two episodes, while the story is fairly generic(father goes missing and it's up to the son to find him)it seems okay. Plus the main character's monster is a giant freaking polar bear!
How many monster shows ever had that as the protagonist's companion?
Mystical Monkey Master
Polar bear-gorillia-tiger actually.

That show's not out yet, nor is it even a "Mon" show.
Baby!
Huh, it's not an Anime. It's animated link an Anime, limited movement and all.

You act like this is the first show to do so.
I like how it looks like an anime (it may even BE one, if it's produced there, I really have no idea), but it's not my alley.

Made by japan technically an anime.

This Won't End Well...
The Next Episode WAS up. The main leads enter an underground fight club.
Yep, I'm still here.
If half-Japaneese Half American (it's got Man Of Action doing...something' with it) so whether it's Anime or a "knock off" (whatever the hell THAT's supposed to mean) is up to personal definition.
Man of Action?
Creators of Ben10 and Generator Rex.
Country of origin is the only definition that really makes any sense, since there's plenty of anime that don't follow the stereotypical "anime style". Either that, or you could define all animation as anime, like Japan does.
I meant what do they have to do with this show?
But it's made by both Nations, so it's quite literally a Grey Area.
I have no farking clue, they were credited in a CBR article about the Marvel Universe and DC Nation blocks and they're also a third of the show runners behind Ultimate Spider Man so I assumed they were tomcatting with Disney behind CN's back 9It would explain why Generator Rex is so goddamn late all the time)
