Marathon Prince is a obscure short-lived Chinese television series released in 2011. Not much is known about this series.

Plot
The story follows Meng Fei, who wants to win every marathon race.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The art style is awful. It also rips off Ben 10 Classic and Ben 10: Alien Force, sometimes combining the two styles together. Heck, even the characters on the poster are just poor traces of the official artwork for Ben, Gwen, Kevin and Charmcaster.
 * 2) Extremely generic story that is paper-thin and loose.
 * 3) Tons of padding in each episode.
 * 4) The voice acting is extremely bad. Sometimes, the voices can go out of sync with the animation.
 * 5) In one episode, there are several knockoffs of famous anime characters such as Luffy, Naruto and Ichigo.
 * 6) Poor character designs. All the characters either look like poor Ben 10 character rip-offs or generic anime people
 * 7) * The Charmcaster knockoff even uses magic like in the Ben 10 series.
 * 8) * There is also a character that resembles Ultimate Aggregor.
 * 9) Some of the characters aren't utilized at all in the story.
 * 10) The CG animation is also awful and resembles a PS2 game.
 * 11) This series can get really violent for a kids show.
 * 12) Awful animation. One particular scene is when a character was running. Only that character was in CGI and the rest were 2d. It looked extremely bad.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The original character designs are much better.
 * 2) The theme song is really good.

Reception
The show received low ratings on various websites due to the story, the poor animation and the Ben 10 knockoff characters. The show was a massive flop in China.
