Between My Little Pony, Transformers Prime and G.I. Joe, these past few years has seen a lot in the way of toy pushing reboots, and with them joins Mattel owned Max Steel.
Max Steel was a line of action figures produced in 1999, and accompanied by a CGI series that lasted for 3 seasons. This was not a series I followed closely, only catching glimpses of reruns while trying to watch reruns of Roughnecks: StarShip Trooper Chronicle, so there will be no comparisons to that series in this overview. Max Steel was then succeeded by a series direct to DVD movies and mini clips on Cartoon Network, scattered all the way up until 2011.
This new series is a full on reboot of the Max Steel line, changing origins, names and other elements of the series. And well. I like it.

New Category: First Impressions
It's been far too long since I've posted here, so while I work on my animation project for this, I'm going to start something I had intended to start ages ago, First Impressions.
First Impressions is just that, first impressions of new cartoons based on the first 5 episodes of the series. I find that in a new series, going by the very first episode will often not provide enough information on the direction of the show, and I tend to find that on average after the first 5 episodes you can get a feel for the show and I can determine whether or not I want to watch it. Now that isn't to say all cartoons can be judged solely on their first 5 episodes, some series such as Venture Brothers, need a full season to properly mature and find their place, but for the purpose of the articles I will just write what I got out of the first 5 episodes of the series.
I want to try to do this with as many upcoming new series as I can, in the time I am provided with. This will cover also, both 2D animated and CGI series. Hopefully that should be enough to keep this place active until I can finally get my animated reviews rolling.
