‘Mech Cadets’ Launches On Netflix
by Tito W. James
Mech Cadets is a new animated series based on the BOOM! Studios comic book series Mech Cadet Yu by writer Greg Pak and artist Takeshi Miyazawa.
“Set fifty years in the future after a terrifying alien species attacked our planet, teenager Stanford Yu works as a janitor at the Sky Corps Military Academy. But he’s only dreamed of one thing his entire life — to pilot a Robo Mech, giant robots from outer-space who came to our aid. When he finally gets his shot, Stanford and his classmates must put aside all personal differences and work together as a team in order to defend humanity against a new invasion of aliens.”
Mech Cadets appears to be a faithful adaptation to the original comic. The visuals are a major upgrade from most TV CG animation. For younger fans of Pacific Rim looking for a Saturday morning cartoon Mecha show this fits the bill. The series is available now on Netflix.
