Pretty whacky mecha series. It does honor the 70s super robo genre. It's entertaining enough to be pretty good.

The English Dub is the weirdest, most delightful mix of terrible and amazing. Saotome's Shakespearean lines, Ryoma's disappearing accent, GETTER ASS, it's all beautiful.

Hoo, a bit of mysterious events to uncover as the series progresses? Great !
And Saotome in the role of the mad scientist coming from beyond the grave? Perfect fit, since he never seemed really sane.

Design and animation wise? Perfect.

Imagawa does an incredible job here at making every second engaging, even it is a bit confusing and the characters haven't really gotten any time to develop. I did read the manga beforehand so I wouldn't be completely lost though.

The bad-ass 90s sakuga, the faithfull translation of that 70s giant robot vibe, the epic rock soundtrack, which fits the series perfectly. thus series looks goddam incredible.

I chose this ova series to watch first so about the first episode I was really surprised with how good animation and art style is, second which I love is directing by imagawa but I am confused af about the plot and how they chose to introduce character so it feels like i am missing something but I think they will revealed later on since it's standalone ova series.

For those curious, the piano piece that plays when Musashi hugs Genki is Lizt's Liebesträumme, No.3 specifically. Quite the beautiful one, if I do say so myself



As for the episode, I liked it a lot, everytime I thought the episode had already set up what the main conflict of the series was gonna be about, a new development happened that threw my expectations off. This episode was a really long-winded introduction, seems like the type of story that they wanted to make is one that generally needs a fair bit in chartacter and plot development in order for it to happen, so they rushed all the prerequisites off from the get go.
