I'm here for this son of a gun.
>>24041037Ah Danguard Ace, that’s a 70s super robot series I have yet to get to, and Leiji Matsumoto’s only contribution to the Super robot genre. I heard he made the battleship base formidable in its own right which is no surprise given what he’s known for
>>24041037This is one of the Force-Fives that I remember almost nothing about.
>>24041073I remember this and others like it quite well. Epic show.
too bad not even italians give a shit about it
>>24041516If Italians don't give a shit about it, that means it's probably good
>>24041516I can't speak for Italy. I still think it's okay to acknowledge more then just one or two genres around here.
I've been watching it and it's kind of slow going. Not that I mind a slow burn but they're spending an awful lot of time on training. And maybe I'm not just old or Japanese enough but the kind of training they do is R-E TARDED. Like early on you get an episode were the MC goes back into a storm to find his friend. He's admonished because this was actually pretty dangerous and okay yeah that makes sense, you need to be careful while flying or you'll crash, but the training instructor, knowing full well his student is still lost, just sort of fucked off back inside and did nothing.
Oh btw Danguard's getting actual legit subs now, currently 16 episodes in.Or at least more legit than ARR, not that that's a high bar of course.
All I know about it is Shudo’s blogpost talking about how it scared him how brazenly this show took it’s sweet time in introducing the actual robot.

>>24043321Absolutely bizarre >The manga was serialized in the monthly magazine *Bōken-ō* concurrently with the TV anime's broadcast. Depictions of the lead robot, Danguard Ace, were limited to a few sketches of its "Satellizer" mode, and its design differed significantly from the version seen in the anime. Furthermore, the destination—Promete—was not an uninhabited planet; instead, the story established that it was inhabited by invisible life forms possessing free will (or that Promete itself was a single living entity). The robot appeared in its full form only once—in a single standing pose across a double-page spread in the final chapter—where it was left behind as a monument symbolizing a desire for peace and friendship with Promete's life forms, marking the end of humanity's involvement with the planet. The narrative focused primarily on Oedo and Doppler, relegating Takuma—the protagonist of the anime—to a minor role; Tony Harken, a rival character introduced midway through the anime, did not appear in the manga at all.
