Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!
S01E03: Planetoid Q
Just as Chiro is beginning to understand the mysterious Power Primate, an enormous planetoid known as Q is detected headed straight toward the planet. Gibson's plan is to fly up in the Super Robot, and blast Q with Otto's newly completed gravaton disrupter. Simple, right? Not quite. Imagine the team's surprise when they discover that the giant planetoid is actually a living, speaking space creature! Their only hope is to be swallowed by Q, and disable the propulsion unit within it. Unfortunately for Chiro and the monkey team, this task won't be as easy to carry out as it sounds.
Overview
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! is an American/Japanese animated television series, and was created by Ciro Nieli, one of the directors of Teen Titans, with animation being done by a Japanese studio known as The Answer Studio. Set mainly on the fictional planet of Shuggazoom, the series follows the adventures of five cyborg monkeys and a human boy named Chiro as they struggle to protect their planet - and the rest of the universe - from the forces of evil.
As is obvious from the visual appearance of the show, there is a significant anime influence present, despite being produced for American television. It was also influenced by Star Trek, Super Sentai, Voltron, and Star Wars. The show also contains various references to pop culture, a notable example being the episode "Season of the Skull", which is a parody of the 1970s thriller The Wicker Man.
