The people behind this show tried to create a family-friendly animated television program by adapting a comic-book series, and made it so deeply sanitized for mass consumption that it's hard to imagine it appealing to anyone. Go to Full Review

Mech Cadets hits the mark at bringing an original story to life, but misses the mark for sincerity. It features diverse characters with ease, but forcefully pushes in life lessons. Go to Full Review
Peter Martin EverythingButHorror.com 08/18/2023
What I love about the series, first of all, is that it's marvelously structured, allowing for the wonderfully-diverse characters to develop and grow as their past histories and experiences are revealed, bit by bit. Go to Full Review

6.5/10
While Mech Cadets‘ core narrative struggles to deliver a compelling story, its cast manages to make up for this shortcoming with memorable personal journeys that are well worth experiencing. Go to Full Review

Noah H @Noah85 Nov 28 Pretty, good, actually. If you like sci-fi and robots this one's totally for you. It's got some pretty funny moments too despite being dark with the alien apocalypse storyline. See more Carlos T 11/16/2024 Anime: Os Cadetes Mech Assistido: 15-11-24 Modelo: #ficção #aventura #alien Duração: 10 episódios Ano: 2023 Minha opinião: Um anime que comecei a assistir sem pretensão, apenas por se parecer com o anime Circulo de Fogo. Mas pela grata surpresa gostei muito. Não achei muito infantil o anime pois tem conteúdo bem adulto, com seus traumas, desafios, pré-conceito. O anime é uma mistura de Circulo de Fogo, Alien e Independence Day. Uma estória muito bem construída e seu desenvolvimento vai nos envolvendo de episódio a episódio. Onde temos um grupo de cadetes jovens e um filho de faxineira com o sonho de se tornar um piloto do Robô Mech, para proteger a Terra das criaturas alienígenas que quer exterminar a raça humana. E a Terra tem um campo que protege a toda Terra. Desta forma os robôs Mech vem a Terra para se ligar com cadete e assim se tornar um só e ajudar a proteger a terra. Como os Eaguer de Circulo de Fogo. Um anime que coloca desde a descoberta do trabalho em equipe, relacionamento de pai e filha de mãe e filho. E a resiliência, e ir a batalha como ao estilo de Independence Day, indo ao sacrifício mas aqui a equipe se reúne e por uma causa maior vão ao sacrifício. E vencem..... Espero que haja uma 2ª temporada. Roteiro e enredo muito bem elaborado, que além da batalha contra alien, tem drama pessoais, pré-conceito, e quebra de orgulho. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 8,5 See more Bill G @1234554321 07/05/2024 The entire show is a joke. The guy can’t sit inside the mech without a leg. O.o The military base closes at night; everyone goes home (except for the cleaning lady and some kids). Turning off the lockdown…opens the gates and every door. What a stupid show!! A complete WASTE of time. See more Rhiannon S 01/12/2024 Short, heartwarming, killer twist ending. See more Jason W 09/16/2023 Sheesh, this is such a poorly written plot. Lots of good voice but garbage plot, garbage directing and just overall really poor decisions. So much that it could have been, but the writers, directors and powers that be are so intent and following the same old plot that this is pushed into boring and repetitive. See more Aaron E 09/10/2023 My only real criticisms are that the show can come across a little bit generic since the worldbuilding is only hinted at and not really developed. And the character animations sometimes reminded me of the old Thunderbirds puppets. But those things aside, it's a pretty solid family-friendly, inclusive action show. It has a very bright, vibrant color palette, which makes it pleasant to look at. See more Read all reviews
