Dangaizer 3

If you're at all familiar with the name Masami Obari, then you probably know what to expect from just about any anime his name is attached to. Dangaizer 3 pretty much ticks all the Obari boxes. Sexy girls? Check. Giant robots? Check. Copious amounts of shameless fan service? Check and mate! If you've seen Voltage Fighter Gowkaizer and thought that was bad, then hold on to your beer because when it comes to schlock Dangaizer takes the cake. Literally, if you know what I mean. The plot is practically wafer thin and nonsensical, the characters are dull and uninteresting, and any action scenes are just plain boring.Much of the anime's focus is on the fan service which is in plentiful supply from your typical panty shots to full blown T&A and some ludicrously skimpy outfits. The animation is decent enough though that is to be expected from an OVA from the late 90s and the design of the titular Dangaizer is certainly impressive showing that Obari certainly knows how to design a good mecha. In conclusion, Dangaizer 3 is a shallow and just outright soulless little series that I can only recommend to the lowest denominator. The kind who couldn't give less of a shit about plot and characters and are only interested in the fan service. For anyone else I can only recommend spending your time elsewhere.

First things first. This anime is ecchi. There is tits and ass galore. Everyone jiggles. That out of the way, let's talk about the rest of it. I bought the first part of this series on DVD at a Half Priced Books. I had never heard it before but it looked like a weird mecha, which I'm very into. And am I glad I stumbled upon it. This series is absolutely gorgeous. The visual design is great. The mecha design can be a little ho hum at times, but it's never bad. The animation is crisp and smooth. The character designs are all top notch.And the style itself is unique and eye catching. Backgrounds are detailed and gorgeous. Everything works together visually and makes for an anime that is actual eye candy. The story has it's ups and downs. Sadly, the OVA is unfinished. There was probably meant to be at least 2 more episodes, so it ends on a cliffhanger. What is there is pretty serviceable. The overarching story is pretty by the books, but it's the details that are interesting. The Villains are all sympathetic and well characterized. The hero's mecha appears to be evil, and not even under their control. The human race originated in Okinawa (not really sure on this one)? Our main characters are kinda stock archetypes. The Quiet One, The Hot One, The Spunky One. This anime does so much right, and even the stuff it does wrong is just falling back on genre stock tropes. This really deserved a proper ending. And lastly, but maybe most importantly, none of the girls getting naked on screen are underage! And there's even some equal opportunity skimpy outfits (unfortunately there looks like there was gonna be a lot more if we got a proper resolution). So if you can handle some tits and ass, you should watch this.

Schlocky action OVA with some raunchiness. This made by the same creator/director as Orgun and Gravion. It's also the best looking of the three. There's not much to say besides the fact that it looks nice. Ohh and there's no resolution. I assume there were planning to do more with it, but cancelled the project due to it not selling well. That or some other reason, I don't care enough to look into it. Despite the eye candy, I wouldn't recommend it. There's better looking shows and movies out there that look just as good, and even better, that actually have proper stories.
