Gekiganger 3

The opening to Gekiganger 3! The part that comes before or after this in the OVA (I forget) is already on YouTube, but this part isn't!

Hints to the uninitiated. Gekiganger 3 is a fictional anime that never existed, meant to represent cheesy 70's sentai anime. It exists only as an anime characters of the more recent 90's anime "Martian Successor Nadesico" watch. :)

It's odd how I always thought that this fake Anime had better intro music than the show it was invented for. The squealing guitars and the chorus just make me think enjoyable nonsense. That was something I liked about Nadesico, it had it's war thesis but still left plenty of room for a surrealist laugh or two.

Surreal indeed. Akito is introduced to G3 by way of Gai, but has to hook up some antiquated video device to play an old media format.

I recently showed Nadesico to a friend of mine but I had to hook up a VHS to play my old fansub tapes. :P

This makes me wish Gekiganger was a real anime!

This was the best part of Nadesico.

Love the music.  Really nails the energy and feel of the 70's super-robots era.

BEST POWA UPPA! Gekigangar wins ever!

@toleodor It was meant to mimic classic Super Robot series as opposed to modern ones such as the Yuusha series, Gurren Lagann or Aquarion.

It looks like Getter Robo

The opening theme reminded me of Voltes V's opening theme.

[megamanzero2000]

the greatest anime of all time!

...This needs to have another OVA. Perferably paroding New Getter Robo and Getter Robo Armageddon.

Then they should be in Super Robot Wars together, given the theroies running around that Nadesico is the in-universe show and Gekiganger is whats happening. Or vice-versa. Or both.
