Rokumon Tengai Mon Colle Knights

I watched the subbed version, I don’t think it’s the same as the dub. But it’s very much a Pokémon/Digimon/Yugioh style mash-up. There’s a boy and girl who seem to be deeply in love,lol. And the girls father is a scientist looking for these relics in another world. So they visit the other world every episode to go searching for these relics, while also bumping into a Team Rocket group that also hunt the relics. The bad guys literally go blasting off in every episode, just like team rocket. It’s really cute kids show, but my goodness if you know anything about occult symbolism, demons, ... ancient gods. They’re everywhere, they’re used as monsters to fight, I don’t know if I ever learned the reason they even battle to be honest. Then the main plot has angels vs demons. I was really impressed by how good it was towards the last 15 episodes. The episodes building up to those were stills fun “adventure of the day” where they bump into giants, and monsters.

I you grew up watching Pokémon and digimon. It’s a fun show to watch.

This is one of the worst anime I've ever seen.

Sound 1/10

What makes this anime so intolerable is that the characters NEVER stop talking and it's like a machine gun of bad jokes! Seriously, it's like the animators who created the English dub were under the impression that in every single scene the characters had to be saying something.

For example, in almost every episode they recycle this animation of the Mon Colle Kinght's jet, The Millennium Eagle, taking off and the animation never changes, but for, some reason, the dialogue changes in each episode and it's always just a new bad joke.

"Hay guys. Have you ... ever noticed if you say the word blast-off enough times it sounds like a Russian persons name? Blast-off. Blast-off. Blast-off. Blast-off. Blast-off" SHUT UP!!!!

Story 2/10

The story for this anime makes no sense.

The Mon Colle Knight's goal is they want to collect all six monster items so they can use their magic to combine Earth with the monster world, but my question is: why is that a good thing? Seriously, I fail to understand how combining Earth with the monster world is in anyway a good thing. Shouldn't that be more something that the "heroes" should be trying to prevent from happening. Are you sure the Mon Colle Knights are the good guys?

Also, what exactly are "monster items"? They never go into any detail about it.

For example, a bag of magic seeds that give you super strength if you eat them is not a monster item, but a pair of magic boots that let you fly is a monster item. Why?

Plus, Rokuna and Mondo have this power that lets them fuse with monsters to battle with them, but it's never explained where this power comes from. Were they born with it? Did the Professor give it to them?

However, the thing I hate most about this anime's story is how it feels like it's on fast forward. The characters all talk fast, everything happens fast, and, like I said, it feels like a machine gun of bad jokes. Mondo and Rokuna may just be sitting in class when a giant vacuum cleaner appears, sucks them up, and the Professor says "We have a new monster item!".

Art 4/10

The animation and monster designs are both decent, but there are some monster designs that just seem lazy. For example, there's a monster called Bisonator that's just a giant Bison and a monster called Lambda that's just a purple sheep.

In other anime like Pokemon and Digimon, they base their monster designs off of real animals as well, but at least in those anime they make their monsters look unique and not like regular animals that are giant or a different color.

Characters 2/10

All these characters are annoying! They never go through any kind of development and we never learn anything about them. Why does Mondo have a bandage on his forehead? What happened to Rokuna's mom? Why do Bacch and Gluko work for Prince Eccentro in the first place if he's so bad at being evil? None of these questions are answered.

The only characters I liked were Gluko and Ms. Loon.

Gluko is one of Prince Eccentro's sidekicks and there's this running joke that bad thing always happen to Bacch and Eccentro, but never to Gluko. It was one of the few funny jokes in the show.

Ms. Loon is Rokuna and Mondo's school teacher and what I like about her there this running joke that she's desperate for love, but can't seem to find a boyfriend.

Overall 2/10

It's obvious that Mon Colle Knights is just another Pokemon rip-off. I hated everything about this anime and do not watch it.
