Oh crap, here's a new one.

There's this dumb show called Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core. This is about some 10 year old kid named Ish (...yeah) who never gets picked for football games, and apparently we learn on this planet, the football stadiums possess "cores" that are essential to the world survival, and that some robots called "Blitz Botz" are after these cores and are led by some lame robot overlord called "Sudden Death" wants to use them to roboticize every living thing on earth and take over THE WORLD.

We also find out Ish is apparently 'the chosen one' and is tasked of protecting the cores, and because we all know that 10 year old boys are about as dangerous as a sleeping kitten, Ish wounds with the abilities of your typical football jock and then the usual stock superpowers.

. . .Yeah, It's every bit as retarded as it sounds.

First off, Nick heavily hyped this "program", which made you think that it would be somewhat decent right? WRONG.

The show is a freaking mess, the episodes all span no more than 5 mins (which is the ONLY good thing about this 'cartoon'), meaning it's nearly impossible to understand the plot in such short notice. Then this show was done in Flash (as usual), which mean the quality is shitty and full of that annoying jerking-bobbling movement.

The story also makes no sense whatsoever, why did the aliens blow up their own freaking planet and hide the cores on Earth? Why couldn't they just utilize the cores' power to fight the bad guys? Why the hell is Ish even listening to this random guy he doesn't even know? You think he'd be a little more cautious about strangers, never mind the fact that he's also alien (IIRC). Hell, why is Ish even chosen to begin with? Wouldn't any of the thousand of football athletes be better candidates for being the guardian? It's like some bad Avatar knock-off...

And. It. Is. Beyond. Cheesy.

"Ish... will save us ALL!"

Really, the only reason this show is even getting ratings is because it often airs conveniently before Dragon Ball Z Kai (I wonder why...?) or some other popular cartoon. The 'positive' reviews that are seen on the trailers of this cartoon were clearly forged (or were gained thru shameless bribing with load of cash) just to build more hype for this shitty five minute timewaster. The story sucks, the characters suck, and the animation sucks soo bad that it's the only way they'd even get people to watch this shit. The show looks like they threw it together in 30 mins and with 100 bucks and they somehow expect to make notes on it, doesn't work like that Nick.

If you really wanna throw 5 mins of your life away, here is some of the episodes, there's about 7 of them right now, but I can't be assed to find them.
