フェイス・オープンしたらもっと凶悪顔にならないとね。。。。

[ravMixrav99]

shp shp

[lovelight125]

nhảm nhí



[jayh3r]

that is definitely luffys voice

[arizou36]

屈指の良回になるはずだったのに…

作画が…

それでも好きだけどね

[KALANGODEPAREDE3D]

Gay, Gay, Gay Mario Kart!.

[Dave102693]

I must watch this anime soon. lol

[jawsTeh]

Dragon Ball Z if it the main characters piloted Giant Robots. Doesnt the kid's hair even change from Black to Orange when he pilots the Gaiken?

[RavensNestStudios]

The irony about the comparisons to Gurren Lagann? The guy who later went on to do TTGL was the animation director for this episode of Gaiking LoDM.

[icewalterina]

wtf!! this was awesome! i like anime with fight scenes like this. dragon ball style :D

[RedJoker95]

Seriously i know this is older but come on. This is like DBZ meets Gurren Laggan. All the badass fights of gurren laggan and DBZ with all the power ups of Gurren and DBZ as well.

[azir64]

the Gforce of their actiontions would have like ... killed them xD

[FireBomberBassist]

That guy had a really shitty day.

[pheznik]

wow...dbz mechs...complete with spirit bomb

[qawamity]

@pheznik Yeah, that was my thought, too.

[Drewsel]

@pheznik Been Around far longer than DBZ, child.

[pheznik]

@Drewsel I don't give a shit how long its been around, this version clearly hasn't and all anyone will think is DBZ DBZ DBZ DBZ GURREN LAGEN OMG ONEONEONEONEONEONEONE

[Operion2000]

IN Tents!!!!

[SoundclickBeats]

Is this the only well animated part of the show?

[Gundamknight100]

KA-ME-HA-ME-HA-ME-HAA!!! BIIIIITTTCCCHHH!!!

[Dancougar82]

So cool, thanks for posting it. It's great seeing Gaiking in action. Dancougar82

[UnholyJesus181]

My pants are filled with my load.

[MrWeaponx200]

This is like Dragon ball z + Naruto but Mecha style... but fucking Epic!!!

[djtorbas]

daiya's voice actor is the same as LUFFY!

[fablan6]

The redhaired dude in the black horned robot has Luffy's voice :O

[TheTraveler12]

people seem to forget gurren lagaan came AFTER many other great robos.. mazinkaiser comes to mind.. as does voltron

[abdulharvey]

it used to be MASK OPEN

[Ccs1989]

Actually I'm pretty sure the people who are strong win.

[ARSENALGeared]

@Ccs1989 Strength means nothing if the guy you keep hitting keeps getting back up!

[poreso9878]

goku vs vegeta

[keroronaruto]

wat episode was this again???

[thefatman69dude]

most badass mech fight ive seen, just everything the music and all i love this series the animation is so smooth

[GahaldMills]

I prever the old one better...but I can't find the vid anywhere...I only found the SRW version..=3=

[campbellc]

This clip never gets old. Truly epic!

[hulkhatepunybanner]

I guess it's not just Americans avoiding innovation. This style of anime has been used for the past 25 years. Time to come up with something new and different. I'm talking about every final battle that ends with a clash of super weapons neutralizing the other, then a swift through-punch from the good guy. You've seen one, you've seen them all.

[brandonman2k]

GOMU GOMU NO

HYDRO BLAZZERRRRRR!!!!

[shinkiro59]

this ep 13 right

[TarisRedwing]

love this part

[PDXCHawk]

I didn't realize Gaiking had such a revival going while I wasn't looking. Live action teaser looks so much better than Transformers.

[Raikomaru]

The scene is awesome, sure...but Daiya's voice sounds oddly familiar to me...

[xGasTon87x]

@Raikomaru Lufy

[VulpisFoxfire]

Interesting--this almost duplicates some of the Dragonball Z battle sequences.

[pyroclast11]

FAIZE.. O-PAN!!!!

[Pepsi10]

Waiting for the live action movie now!! =D

[WingChroniam]

gundam dbx ?

[MexiCHOLE]

dragonball Z........

[bdpickett]

@MexiCHOLE ...Got nothing on this!

[Ex1a001]

Nice...gaiking movement just like burning gundam...

[psychosiris]

Damnit, now I'm even more pissed that I can't find eps for it! I liked Nouza from the moment I saw him, and he GETS THIS AWESOME FIGHT!!

[RaymondoPerson]

just google 'tv nihon gaiking' for megauploads of every episode

[darkroxas25]

i know the links....o.o

[yakinsaje88]

cam kool jer cte nie~

[UnGatoExtraviado]

nouza is the coolest villian in this series, good fight damn

[UnGatoExtraviado]

this series wasnt great as i expected, but they clearly have an interest in giving you a few great animated sequences, this episode is awesome in that way, this battle is epic.

[GahaldMills]

i like the old face open...

[Pepsi10]

Me too.

[faizalsotilleo]

I'm a little dissapointed. This show's FACE OPEN doesn't give little kids nightmares like the original.

[SirDeadpool]

where i can see the original?

[supersaninpikachu]

@faizalsotilleo Ditto, but this is AWESOME!

[mrperson]

daiya's voice is the EXACT SAME as monkey d luffy

i had fun putting the One Piece move names on what they were doing LOL

my personal favorite,  Face Open = Gear 2nd :P

[striderzer0]

yea and when he launched the hydro blazer i can hear the same intensity as jet gatling or bazooka

[DemonSuke]

Thats because they are the same voice actor..

[mrperson]

yeh but dont voice actors usually change their voice around at least a bit for their char? >.>

[TrejoDuneSea]

Voice actress actually.

[jcdgcrh]

Is it JAM Project that sang this song?

[Vilnth]

Afraid not. I believe the artist is "Psychic Lover."

[Mostlyjoe]

@Vilnth Yep. Psychic Lover does some really good themes. Them, Rider Chips (For the Kamen Rider themes), and Jam Project are my trinity of awesome.

[Gundamknight100]

@Vilnth it is because I have looked it up on Wiki.

[supersaninpikachu]

@jcdgcrh Seems more like 'psychic lover' then JAM project.

[SMDeathwind]

Oh, God.

More people religiously sucking the dick that is Gurren Lagann

I mean, sure it was cool, but for fucks sake do we have to compare EVERYTHING to it?

(Reposted for mis-spelling of "religiously".)

[Vilnth]

No need to be so angry. o.O

[SMDeathwind]

Sorry, I just get so fed up of people hailing Gurren Lagann/My First Mecha as the best thing ever. =\

[Iguanaray]

Just because you`ve wasted more of your life watching children`s cartoons compared to other people doesn`t mean your views on the medium are more valid (in fact it`s probably the other way around).

I love Getter Robo, GaoGaiGar and most of the other shows that Gurren Lagann drew inspiration from, and I still think GL was fucking amazingly done. The only thing that could possibly top it would be a faithful adaptation of the Getter Robo manga, with equally amazing production values.

[SMDeathwind]

It's not the comparison as a whole, it's the concept that Gurren Lagann is the best thing ever and everything else pales in comparison that makes me want to throttle people. =\

You know, things like "I liked it better when it was called gurren lagann". >_>

[Iguanaray]

To be honest the guy earlier was just misinformed, most people who aren't 13 year old Naruto fans know that GL is a tribute to a whole lot of different shows.

[Mostlyjoe]

@SMDeathwind I hear you brother. GAOGAIGAR and Getter Robo kicked Gurren Lagann ass years earlier.

[veblice]

@SMDeathwind

u mad bro?

[darksword101]

@SMDeathwind I agree with you man.

[ChronoZeroX]

@SMDeathwind

While I like TTGL, nothing beats the motherfucking Gaiking

[TetraVaalBioSecurity]

@SMDeathwind Gurren Lagann isn't even that good.

[ZeranEmpire]

@SMDeathwind

it brought a lot of people into mecha

myself included

it was also mind blowing.

I know where it sits on the mecha timeline, but people need to remember that religious fanbase or not it DID do some impressive shit.

Gaiking is still fantastic too though. And my personal fav is GGG anyway.

[ArrowX]

@SMDeathwind This episode was actually directed by Gianax staff. That's why it had a shit ton of animation similarities. mostly with FLCL

[strawberrybankai12]

@SMDeathwind well naruto/bleach/one piece fans compare all other shonen jump anime to bleach/naruto/onepiece etc. but I get your point it was a pretty awesome anime but like people say there are plenty more fish in the sea

[cole9998]

@SMDeathwind this came out before gurren lagan so gurran is the one that actually copied it this is just a remake of the old gaiking

[Iguanaray]

Why does Toei only allow a handful of fights per series to be animated this well

It's not like they have budget issues, they're probably the most popular anime studio

[pokegnome2]

Actually if watch the entire series, theres loads of fights animated like this - heck one pops up only THREE episodes later.

[DemonSuke]

Luffy off one piece.

[pokegnome2]

Combination for greatness: Giant robots, no speedlines, awesome anime effects, and of course... epic finisher move screams!

[Phelpssan]

Wrong, this was made almost two years before TTGL.

[Phelpssan]

You do know this Gaiking is a remake, right? And that designs are taken from the original, which is around *30 YEARS OLD*.

[KrakerUK]

If you are talking about Horoyuki Imaishi, he was one of people who animated this scene right here, so whoever told you they "broke apart" must be wrong.

[KogetsuZan]

Wasn't this scene done by Yutaka Nakamura? I've seen this scene before in a Nakamura compilation

[Iguanaray]

If he had anything to do with it, it definitely wasn`t key animation, storyboarding or anything major or noteworthy. Imaishi doesn`t animate this way.

[RaymondoPerson]

@KrakerUK uh no Hiroyuki Imaishi had nothing to do with this particular scene

he animated the bit right before it, like a few seconds BEFORE he went all Face Open

[Zeyhk]

Belcross called: Gurren Lagann is a loser.

[theanimejoker]

never seen a robot fight like that it was fucing great

[bawad]

probably the best fight in the whole show.

[VendavalEste]

Fuckin' awesome screams.

[GetterRay]

weaboo subs

[SimAlias]

Qhen Gaiking Does the Face Open it reminded me of Mazin kaizer

[TheKnightWolf]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lorwosk]

On this episode....they used decend graphic for make sweet movement and great action fight .

[Vilnth]

I liked it!

[WannaBSamurai]

Its not bad... But... No Gaiking Missile? No Breath Fire? Not even a hint toward the original Face Open...

[mrshorin]

actually as a tribute to the old series, the beast dborak at the end of the series has the original face open face, missile and all i believe....

[jackmcslay]

considered this anime has a whole other story compared to the original, I don't see why they should stick with the original face open either

[belsammael]

episode 13 indeed; hehe yeah love the video, saw it yesterday, and another reason to like Nouza; DBZ with giant robots, baby ;)

[cristerson]

what episode is this?

[Vilnth]

It's episode 13, I believe.

[mrshorin]

right, the ep hiroyuki imaishi of gurren lagann fame did.

[Babylove333]

HELL TO THE YEAH!!! Gaiking 2006 is off the chain! Thanks!

[Vilnth]

NP. :D
