| Scooby-Doo meets Anime, a not so stellar combination.
|
I managed to catch a couple episodes of this show on NickToons, late at night. My first impression of it was that it was just another lame, clichéd filled anime. After watching several more episodes I saw it was more then that, but not much more.
Martin Mystery follows 3 main characters: Martin (the appointed Hero), Diana and their quiet but strong Caveman friend, Java. Most of the episodes are the same. They start of with an intro that contains a bizarre monster or creature. Then it moves to Martin or his sister at school having trouble dating. They’ll usually meet up somewhere and then get their new paranormal assignment. The show is very similar to Scooby-Doo, right down to the music. Most of the time Martin and his pals have trouble trying to capture the monster or creature but after coming up with a plan, succeed in the end (with a lot of luck at times).
I tried really hard to like it because I loved Scooby-Doo so much. Martin Mystery does have some really cool monsters to introduce but that’s about it. It can be rather funny at times. Unfortunately, there was virtually no character development in the episodes I saw. Most of the episodes follow the same linear path: Introduce creature, travel to [insert exotic place] and defeat or save the creature. Rinse and repeat. I’ll continue to watch the show, but only because there is nothing else to watch at 1 am.
