Ah, the music soundtrack is coming back to me..I remember this was similar to Iczer-One music. I do remember it was a pretty good show with great opening and closing songs.
Wow. I remember seeing this like it was only yesterday. Of course I didn't see it until 1997 when I used to rent anime videos from a local Blockbuster video store. But I loved this. It was definitely worth a good while. And I gotta say the character and mecha designs are awesome for an anime that dates back to 1987.
Fuck yeah Hajataisei Dangaio: Combining the best aspects of American Superhero comics with bonecrushing Super Robot action. And you can't forget that GREAT ending in part 3.
Until the late 90's Getter Robo, this was the best Super Robot Anime for a LONG time.
Damn, this is something I haven't seen in a LONG time. This was one of the first anime tapes I ever owned- I had the original US Renditions version, even before Manga Video got the rights to it. Have not seen this in over a decade.
Although its not well known or not as popular as other anime mechs. Dangaioh was one robot with a very cool design. Not generic-Gundam or Battroid-type(MACROSS) in design.
you something i remember this and i think i didn't like it, but i'll finish looking at it cuz it's uncut, think i got the American Cut version, are there more ep. to this? cuz i think there was like one video that came out
Now this Anime is off the chain! It takes traditional themes and gave them a complete revamp. This and the other two parts of the original Dangiao is perhaps one of the greatest animes of the early 90's.
So true! The original DANGAIOH OVAs by Hirano, Kawamori and Obari were decades ahead of their time!
LOOK at the detailed character designs and BLOODY BRILLIANT MECHA DESIGNS! Damn if you really think the current stuff is better or equal you ARE BLIND!
Speaking of detailed. Do you remember the scene from the 3rd and final episode where Dangaio got up after falling from outer space. Now that was cool.
i've been dying to find this copy on DVD but there's only the english dubbed version now. and even worse, is the new "great dangiaoh" series. they're awful. any chance you have the entire original set on DVD for sale?
Sorry i don't i had to convert my VHS tapes. If you email me your home mail address i can send you a copy, I HATE the new Great Dangaio it just ruins the name, heh
if I didn't know of Dangaio back then,I claim it was recent just from the great quality of the animation...very original as well and of course the intro and ending music is super.... :)
Oh, definitely. Hand-drawn cels were absolutely beautiful. It's a shame the industry standard is CG faux cels now, because they lack the life of the originals.
I remember watching Macross for the first time in a long time and crying out, "THOSE HAND-PAINTED BACKGROUNDS ARE BEAUTIFUL!"
ok, it's been 2 years since i wrote. and STILL no dvd japanese version with english subtitles. WTF?!!

Manga Entertainment should burn in hell for butchering this classic anime.

Agreed. That vhs release with the first episode missing and wretched dub is one of the worst hack jobs ever done to an anime.
Somebody, not Manga, needs to put this on DVD now.
wartarot 2 years ago
I'm hoping for Bandai Entertainment (with the same team that did the Gunbuster DVD) does the job.

Ah back in the days of anime the good when hand drawn artwork was employed and the artist actually had a work ethic.

Despite being completely hand draw Japanese animated serials like Dangaio are visually more stylish and vibrant than must CGI movies out there.
