You all remember Power Rangers, right? Five teenagers with attitude defending the world in their color-coded spandex suits and giant combining robots.
This is China's take on it, replacing the T-Rex with a Unicorn (or at least the Chinese equivalent), making the red ranger a girl and the yellow ranger the leader, and animating it in Unicron Trilogy CGI and REALLY bad flash. You still don't like those puppet effects, NC?
Now I know what you're thinking: "That's just in the same genre, Sentai, it's okay so long as it has original designs at least."
The first thing I'd say is "Did you even see those suits?" The second thing I'd say is "The name translation is 'GodBeast Megazord.'" The third thing I'd say is "The Mech transformation is EXACTLY THE SAME."
Though I will give the show credit. For what little effort they put into the animation, it's much smoother than a Unicron Trilogy episode, if only because flash smoothens out animation that would've been drawn frame-by-frame. The mech design, while being a blatant ripoff of the glorious Megazord, at least tries to be unique and puts in a few features that are unique to the GodBeast design, like the Chinese aesthetic. The action is fast-paced, but only because of the low-effort nature of flash and CGI (in comparison to frame-by-frame animation). The theme song is disgustingly cheesy and horrifyingly catchy. You won't be cool listening to this on your MP3 Player like the Power Rangers kids, I can tell you that right now.

But you know what? China isn't a complete dump of ripoffs.
Take a look, and prepare to be amazed.
Despite the fact that it uses CGI, you can feel that this show just oozes EFFORT. The beautiful worlds, the character costumes, the special effects, even Dragon-Yoda and the ugly puffballs looks incredible by comparison with GodBeast. And the mechs, oh the MECHS, man! Screw the Samurai Megazord, I want to spend 80$ on the Ultra Beast! The theme is less catchy than GodBeast but is 1000 times more epic, I imagine this playing at the end credits of a chinese dub of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The fights look fast paced, but the characters feel they have a weight to them, as opposed to GodBeast's "able to run as fast as a tiger even though I'm a tortoise."

From what I got from Gaijin Goompa it seems their strict code this lead ban of many official stuff this lead opportunity for the bootleggers. They are now little more moderate going but it is too late new. the bootleggers have the advantage. Typically, Parents will not put much thought to it. It also hit the video game consoles. Here video from gajin goomba with explanations.

I am guessing that you are meaning that cartoon is not good. Just to ask is it stupid as in funny stupid for it being so bad that it is good or no it just plain bad? Unfortunately, someone needs to be guinea pig. I can take your word but curiosity could kick in. A little information of how bad it is would help.

I am saying we need someone to inspect this series to give an accurate evaluating. What is the name of that series anyway, so I can check if someone already reviewed it? Are you asking about what guinea pig is? It is a animal that is in rodent order that is known to be used for science testing.

I understand what a "guinea pig" is; I just find it curious that you refer to the inspector in question as a guinea pig, which is kind of a mean thing to say.

To the show or the person who would watch it to report about it? I thought sugarcoating would be belittling so I went with blunt. Besides, I could be mistaken and that person could be the goat. Perspective may differ so I most likely exaggerating.

I am following suggestion. Ultra Beast Force critic along with the other option word criticism, but I only see a few seconds of footage. I am not very confident that this show is worth the time.

Hate to say this:
The economic war between the US and China is a concern that may effect our future.
China has that ambition to be better than the US in forms of trade, and yes, copying things.
But the relationships between US and China are being masked as a good economic advancement within their governments.
I don't see it, and I'll even give something based off of a BBC show that verifies the proof that China is making economic advancements better than the US.
In the show, a group of British automotive enthusiasts decided to test drive some Chinese branded vehicles. I can recall at best that they were "knockoffs" based on their observations. They also acknowledged that the economic backing of their technological advances are extreme. By the time the show aired, 5 years ago during that time, China were still making, and selling, what looked like vehicles from the 1920s. Their response was this: Imagine what they will do in the next 5 years...
I can see potential in China, but they are going overboard on it. We may not understand the economy in China, but I see it as foreshadowing to something we might not want to have.
