Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! is an American/Japanese animated television series, and was created by Ciro Nieli, one of the directors of Teen Titans, with animation being done by a Japanese studio known as The Answer Studio. Set mainly on the fictional planet of Shuggazoom, the series follows the adventures of five cyborg monkeys and a human boy named Chiro as they struggle to protect their planet - and the rest of the universe - from the forces of evil. As is obvious from the visual appearance of the show, there is a significant anime influence present, despite being produced for American television. It was also influenced by Star Trek, Super Sentai, Voltron, and Star Wars. The show also contains various references to pop culture, a notable example being the episode "Season of the Skull", which is a parody of the 1970s thriller The Wicker Man.

Episodes
1. Chiro's Girl
Chiro falls for a new girl, Jinmay, not knowing that she's a robot under the Skeleton King's control, but even Jinmay doesn't know it. Jinmay's monkey companion, Sakko, who was secretly a spy for the Skeleton King, took her to the Skeleton King's lair and then constructed her to be evil. Then it's a showdown between the monkey team and an evil robot Jinmay, under the control of Sakko. Jinmay must remember the good memories with Chiro to get back control of herself, and then stop the evil Skeleton King.
2. Depths of Fear
It's hot in Shuggazoom City. Very hot. So the monkeys decide to cool off with a swim, and everyone seems excited; except Sprx-77 and Chiro. But the water begins to rise, and soon floods the city. On a rescue mission, Chiro's fear holds him back once more, and no doubt would he have drowned if the team had not saved him at the last minute. Deciding to get to the source of the problem, they plunge down to the deep depths of Shuggazoom's water base, to find that the pillars holding everything up are terribly corroded. And the massive dents look oddly like teeth marks...
3. Planetoid Q
Just as Chiro is beginning to understand the mysterious Power Primate, an enormous planetoid known as Q is detected headed straight toward the planet. Gibson's plan is to fly up in the Super Robot, and blast Q with Otto's newly completed gravaton disrupter. Simple, right? Not quite. Imagine the team's surprise when they discover that the giant planetoid is actually a living, speaking space creature! Their only hope is to be swallowed by Q, and disable the propulsion unit within it. Unfortunately for Chiro and the monkey team, this task won't be as easy to carry out as it sounds.
