   >have vague memories of this show as a kid
   >can remember nothing about it other than the kickass theme tune
   >it was made in South Korea and only ran for 2 seasons
   i have nothing to add to this post except that Cubix looks like he was designed purely for merchandising opportunities

     a youtube comment about this show mentioned a bunch of other shows of its type that have been lost to history like Monster Rancher or Jackie Chan Adventures, shows that only exist in the dim recesses of millennial's half forgotten memories

     @lain Reboot is like Citizen Kane compared to Cubix

     @Salastil @lain one of the Reboot characters is called Phong, presumably after the shading model they used to actual render him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_shading

     Reboot characters were stiffly animated in the initial seasons but towards the end it was animated quite decently. They chose a smart art style and character design to hide the technological shortcomings of the time period.

     @augustus Yeah and they didn't even capitalize on it. I'd still buy a decent Cubix.

     @augustus >Jackie Chan Adventures
     I think seeing the sumo guy going from invincible antagonist to useless side character when he flipped sides was one of the first instances I clearly noticed how stories are often driven by narratives rather than by the characters, and being pretty disappointed about it
