Mixed Feelings

Cubix, excuse me, Saiko Robot Kombock is one of the series I obsessed over as a child. I'd flip to Kid's WB at whatever time it was on and make sure I caught every episode. I had every one of the toys (not very many, if I remember) and it was, oddly enough, the show that got me sort of obsessed with mecha. I'm hesitant to say that because I'd already had my fill of Gundam Wing and bootleg copies of G Gundam (how I obtained those as an 8/9 year old is a story for another time) but it made me feel as if ... I could have a robot of my own.

Knowing a bit about rose-colored glass and all that, I decided to take a crack at this one as an adult. I couldn't remember much about the actual story or the characters as I was really just focused on the robots (read: toys) so this was for all intents and purposes a fresh watching.

I watched a few episodes of the sub before I quit caring and went back to the sub.

Let's start with the animation and models. Even for the time it was just bad. The models quality was inconsistent and it was easy to tell who was not going to be a repeat character. The animations themselves were clunky and it didn't feel as if much effort was put forth. The robots mostly got away with this but the human characters did not feel fluid and felt like robots themselves. I will say that while several look quite generic, many are original and refreshing designs.

The voice acting in both the dub and the sub were horrendous. The mouths didn't even try to match with the audio in either. The acting was over the top and the voices didn't match the characters meaning the antagonist had an overly squeaky voice despite not looking at all that he should.

The story and characters were generic. A generic 'Gary sue' for a lead, his female friend who explains things to drive the story, a smart kid to be used as a McGuffin when the group is stuck in binds, and the lovable dumb oaf. It really could not be more cut-and-paste. Plot development is predictable, even for a children's show. No attempt is made to be original here. It felt like a twisted knockoff of the Mega Man plot but much, much worse. I can't think of what else to say on this, really. Just plain bad.

Overall, the series did not live up to my memory. Everything was bland and just plain awful. This one seems to have been forgotten by most and it deserves to stay that way. I should have left it dead in the past but my curiosity got the better of me. I can't think of any reason for anyone to watch this one in the modern day. Even if you're thinking about it for nostalgia's sake, just don't.

I haven't done a nostalgia review in a while, and I happened upon Cubix not too long ago- so here we go.

Preface:

If you were a kid in the late 90s- early 2000s, chances were that you were watching the recently popularized anime Pokemon or Yugioh. A lot of people don't know this, but before Funimation really took off (DBZ was their biggest license prior to acquiring One Piece from 4Kids, and they rescued DBZ from Saban), before Viz Media, before Aniplex America showed up on ...
