Bizzare and disturbing but my son loves it
bottandpete27 January 2024
It feels like an anime written by toddlers, and I would rate this series higher if it didn't have so much inappropriate expression of emotion. The premise is so strange it's almost watchable as an absurd comedy. The main characters are child-like animals similar to sentient stuffed animals, they are a four member defense team with a commanding officer who contacts them in times of need. In their regular day to day they live with a pre-teen human girl who is their caretaker. She has a home which they live in, but doesn't have parents, also is bullied sometimes by other human kids. There is an overlapping metropolis of humans and animals who go about their lives in a strange parallel symmetry. When a villain inevitably shows up the animal team members transform into human power rangers to fight and also have corresponding mech vehicles. They often combine, transform, and do other power ranger things, but the perspective shifts from power ranger battles to anime soap opera drama in domestic settings. Dialog is so terrible and cliche that it is hilarious. The only real irredeemable quality is the emotional immaturity and outbursts of characters could teach your kid to be a brat, a bully, or otherwise disrespectful and annoying. But overall I'll put it on from time to time to entertain my kid, just in moderation. Side note, if you're looking for something to get drunk with friends and watch this will have you laughing in no time.

It funny but there are some problems when it comes to having a crush
daniaamir-157573 April 2023
Me and My sister like this show, it is really funny, but the I one thing I hate about this show is the reason for having crushes many characters have crushes on other characters due to their looks, not their personality if you watching this show with a kid, please tell them they shouldn't like people cuz of their looks. Looks don't define a person. These crushes stuff doesn't make sense if the characters fell in love with someone in first sight when they don't even know them, another problem is that the characters like people with good looks not people with good hearts. Later seasons the crushes end.

What the @$*#

The show is terrible! I made an account just to make this review. Makes no sense and it's a huge rip off of Power Rangers. I lose brain cells every time my son watches it. I know it's a kids show but my God it's horrible for a kid show.

Awful English dub
ultra-amy13 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
What happens if you mix Happy Tree Friends and Power Rangers together? Well, you get Miniforce! I've seen a lot of parents calling this show out on the web for its weird, terrible and nonsensical concept, even trying to get their kids not watching it along with other shows they hate that their children love. I'm not saying that parents should like Miniforce since everyone has different opinions, but if they don't like it then they don't need to watch it with their children if they don't want to. This also goes with other shows and not only Miniforce.

So, Miniforce is an animated series from South Korea animated by SAMG Animation, also known for their work on Ladybug in the west, with co-production by Choirock, another company also from South Korea. It is about four anthropomorphic animals named Volt (a blue squirrel), Sammy (a red owl), Lucy (a pink fox) and Max (a yellow beaver), and they are part of a secret organisation called "Miniforce" which protects small and weak animals from danger by larger and stronger animals. Somehow, they ended up in the house belonging to a good-natured but hideously psychopathic girl named Suzy (best girl anyway), who beats the hell out of the Miniforce with an orange-coloured toy hammer whenever they piss her off. From the looks of it, Miniforce was heavily influenced by tokusatsu shows, especially Power Rangers, and many elements from anime like most Korean and other Asian cartoons outside of Japan.

Personally, I like the Korean version better because the voices have more emotion and life to the characters the actors give them. But, what about the English dub? Well, apparently it turns out to be very, VERY horrendous. The voices are unprofessional, lifeless and painful to listen to, and the lip-syncing almost barely matches with the dialogue which makes this ten times worse. Also, Volt's voice is ear-jarring and annoying to listen to compared to the original Korean dub. The theme song's singer isn't that great either, as it sounds like he was being recorded inside the studio's bathroom trying to take a huge pile of cacca while scream-singing the translated lyrics on a Thursday night, and after that the editors had to edit out the sounds of the excrements coming out of his bootyhole.

However, despite all of this, the English version has slight improvement in the spiritual successor, Miniforce X. Same characters and same concept, but this time they face a new threat coming from outer space, and now the humans are the ones in danger. For whatever reason, everyone knows about the Miniforce (Now Miniforce X), even Suzy (who is around 14-16 now, she was between 11-12 or 13 in the original Miniforce). But still, the English version is crap and so was the quick decision to hire new voice actors.

I give the English dub of Miniforce a 3/10 as a result.

Makes Garbage look great
sduncan-5343219 January 2023
Think of the worst thing you have ever seen. Then imagine that was unanimously voted by the world as the greatest show ever created. The reason that would have happened is because this show is so bad, it makes everything else look THAT much better.

There is no reason for this show to exist. There's no imagination. It's a bad English dub over, the voices don't match the characters, the stories are just awful. 90% of the villain attacks are poop and toilet related.

Just don't watch it...ever...it's not worth it...it will corrupt and destroy your mind...it's the worst thing on Netflix...which is saying A LOT cause there's some real garbage on there.

Great show
everlyntyl15 April 2024
This show is interesting and funny, even tho im a bit to old to watch this kind of cartoons, I still enjoyed watching it. I don't get why people are hating on this show, it actually teaches you some moral and if you think little kids shouldn't watch this then switch another show then. Like some of the characters has crush on another, its just showing that when normal person see someone with good looking, they will actually like them. Just like that, and this show doesn't contains any thing about love that is more than friends, just cute transformers defending themselves to protect the earth. Idk abt your opinion, I just loved this show.
