ExoSquad

Synopsis: "It was a golden age for all mankind. Using the incredible exo-skeletons called e-frames, we had successfully terra-formed Venus and Mars, and were poised to move on to the outer planets. Suddenly, it all ended; we were pressed into a nightmarish war on a scale previously unimagined. We were attacked by our own creations, the Neo sapiens, a race of artificially created humans. Led by Phaeton, they have seized control of Venus, Earth, and Mars. This is Lt. JT Marsh; member of the Exofleet, leader of a small band of e-frame pilots dedicated to freeing humanity from Neo sapien rule. We are . . . the ExoSquad."

My Take: The reason I primarily like this cartoon series is simply the fact that there are these machines that you "jack" yourself into and can fly around in with all these weapons and blow things up. But once you get past that, you'll see that the story is magnificent as well. Set in the future, it's the classic struggle of a race facing total annihilation and fighting back from the brink. Season 1 is simply fantastic however, towards the end of the series it starts to drop off, story wise, but on the whole a great series. The plot is very complex and story dynamics change realistically.
