The story about this giant robot flung into the past to be discovered by unlikely heroes who then would be trained to slay the big baddie from the future could've been interesting, but is sadly abandoned to focus more on poking fun of anime tropes.
But it does that pretty well even if it becomes juvenile at times. But seeing this duo of teenage slackers handle this dangerous weapon while ruining more than they save is genius. The one hero, Coop, isn't exactly the brightest mind around, he's an overweight gamer eating constantly. He's in charge. His friend, Jamie, is always trying and failing at getting a date and spends much time hitting on the attractive owner of the robot from the future, Kiva. They're not exactly your typical heroes and that's what makes this work.
I would've wished they focused more on the story, but the nice animation and the good voice acting from David Deluise, Steve Blum and especially the most over-the-top performance ever by Clancy Brown at least made it entertaining.
