Reception
Megas XLR has been met with positive reception. Kevin Pezzano of Revolution SF said: "The best thing about this whole show is the way it takes none of it seriously. It doesn't even take itself seriously. The characters are likeable, but are often the objects of this series' humor as much as the pop-culture references are," calling it "must-see" and saying "it's clever, it's funny, it's action-packed" and "just plain messed-up at times." Matthew Anderson of DVD Vision Japan praised the show's humor and voice acting, and called the animation "fluid, and very detailed." Megas XLR was ranked at No. 4 on ToonZone's "Toons of the 2000s: Top 5 Cartoon Network Originals".[1]
