Mellowlink is a kickass spin-off series of the Armored Trooper VOTOMS franchise. The original series is notable for its modest and grounded mecha combat(as crazy as that sounds), but Mellow is something else entirely. It's a balls-to-the-wall, high octane 80's action movie revenge plot featuring a young soldier double crossed by his commanding officers. Our hero, Mellow, takes it upon himself to run each of these big wigs down with only his motorcycle and an anti-tank rifle. All of the fights in this series are an absolute blast. It features everything from a train heist, 1 on 1 arena battle, and finally a showdown atop a Rocket launch platform just to name a few.
Mellowlink's soundtrack is also incredibly fitting with shredding rock tracks, suspenseful tunes, and campy OP + ED. It's by no means as well written or as intriguing as its parent series, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy every second of this show.
(Not so)Fun Fact: The film masters for this show were lost in a fire, so don't expect a Blu-Ray release anytime soon. There is a LaserDisc release though lol |
