Reasons you might like Turning Mecard...

Inu230 Inu230 says...

Looking for aliens who can take the shape of what humans call vehicles, not just cars but planes, 18-wheelers, convertibles, bugs and other animals? Look no further. Turning Mecard and Transformers: Cybertron to the rescue.

Both animes are about creatures from another planet who through various reasons find themselves on Earth where they meet and befriend humans and work with them to accomplish their goals.

--

It's not just that both animes focus on met-morphing aliens who resemble motorized vehicles: to prevent further destruction to the universe beings from different worlds and different walks of life choose to work as one for the greater good. Though initial meetings are not always civil, by definition on either [pretty much any] planet, differences are overcome and bonds are formed.

Brothers on opposite sides of the fight, unrequited love, unjust actions, condescending characters, girl-power, secrets, fear, oblivious adults, intergalactic bonds and more are just a few of the things these animes have to offer.

Together they shine brighter than the sun and are more than meets the eye.

Size may matter to some --> Mecardimals are toy-size and easy for the elementary school kids to carry around and easily excusable to on-lookers while Transformers are the size of the vehicle they conceal themselves as.

As one might expect from the above size descriptions Turning Mecard  is aimed at a pretty young viewing audience while Transformers: Cybertron can appeal to elementary through middle/junior high-school and even young adults. However, just because Transformers can’t be pocketed like Mecardimals doesn’t mean young kids can’t enjoy the anime. Though the representation may differ the overall messages of friendship between anyone and/or anything, trust, morality, and a “we are one” vibe is pretty evident in just about every episode of Turning Mecard & Transformers: Cybertron.

Also as an added bonus both animes are airing on Kidsclick =}

Mighty Orbots

Mighty Orbots

The evil organization known as SHADOW seeks to destroy the Galactic Patrol, a peace-keeping force of the United Planets. SHADOW's efforts are repeatedly thwarted, however, by the Mighty Orbots - a group of five robots with unique powers and abilities such as massive strength and the power of transformation. Led by their secretive inventor Rob Simmons, the Mighty Orbots – separately or joined as a single unit – can fight off any threat. Time after time, the Mighty Orbots are called away from their lighthearted adventures to combat the forces of SHADOW, and time after time, they succeed!

Broots

Broots

The original six-minute "pilot" featured a slightly different version of Might Orbots called Broots (pronounced "Brutes"). Rob and Ono looked similar to their 'finished' selves, though definitively more late 70s-like. The Orbots, while having the same names as in the finished product, are subtly different, and obviously unfinished. Even their combined form aka "Super-Broots" would go through some more developmental evolution before becoming Mighty Orbots.

Sanjougattai Transformers Go!

Sanjougattai Transformers Go!

The story follows a boy who is tasked with protecting "legend discs" with the help of the Transformers in the Warring States period and in the modern day. The Swordbot Samurai Team is made up of Kenzan, the police car Transformer who practices the "Emergency Two-Sword Style" of swordsmanship, Jinbu, the jet Transformer who will never lose a battle of speed, and a practitioner of the "Super Aerial Sword Style," and Ganoh, the fire truck Transformers with unparalleled power and the "Fire-Fighting Charging Style." While each can transform into a robot on their own, they can combine in multiple ways to form three unique giant robots — Go-Kenzan, Go-Jinbu and Go-Ganoh, depending on who is the head. In addition there is the Swordbot Shinobi Team: the Gekisoumaru Lion Ninja of Land, Hishoumaru Hawk Ninja of Wind, and Sensuimaru Shark Ninja of Water.

Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE 2nd Season

Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE 2nd Season

Two years have passed since the legendary force Build Divers battled the second Coalition of Volunteers to save the EL-Diver. Gunpla Battle Nexus Online (GBN), where these events took place, has been upgraded to provide sensory feedback for more realistic play. But as GBN becomes even more exciting, there are Divers who play with their own motivations in mind. Hiroto is a Diver who wanders alone through the Dimension, playing as a mercenary. Kazami is a frivolous, independent Diver who joins one party after another, pursuing the one he admires. May is a solo Diver surrounded by an aura of mystery, who plays Gunpla Battle night and day. And Parviz is a lonely novice Diver who is interested in team play, but out of shyness, he has never managed to seize the opportunity. Each of them is alone, but the course of events will end up uniting them into a new team of Build Divers. What awaits Hiroto and the others is a boundless super-experience that far transcends GBN.
