It wasn't an anime. It was made by the same guys who made the old Teen Titans cartoon and Transformers Animated.

I remember it, but I wish I had gotten to see more of it. It aired on Jetix during a bad time for me that made it difficult for me to catch the shows airing on that block back then.

Finished watching black lagoon awhile back. Two words watch it

This is what Wikipedia has to say about it

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! (commonly known by its initialism, SRMTHFG) 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 (who would later work on the Cartoon Network original series Transformers: Animated)

As is obvious from the visual appearance of the show, there is a significant anime influence present, despite being produced for American television

Well if you ask me anime has more to do with style rather than the location in which it was made

Neither of which claim it to be an anime. All it says is that the show was influenced by the anime style and animated by a Japanese studio.

"Being influenced" by something isn't the same as "being" that something.

Being animated in Japan isn't enough to make a cartoon be considered an anime, otherwise shows like The Transformers (G1), Animaniacs, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Transformers Animated, Transformers: Prime, ThunderCats (2011-2012), and many other American cartoons would have to be considered anime.
