Shutsugeki! Machine Robo Rescue

I think it's good to watch a kodomo, shounen anime even in adulthood, because of two reasons: 1. A good shounen anime would remind the adult fan their teenager motivations, and even is they are disappointed in life, they might rethink, what can they do in their life to make the most of it. 2. Watching children's animations might bring us back to our childhood. Every time, when I watch an animation for children, I always imagine, if I could watch it as child, or not? Would I offer it to my child, (if I would have) or not? Well, Shutsugeki! Machine Robo Rescue is not the verybest children's anime, but worth to give a try to it. 12 children are chosen to the Machine Robo Rescue program. In this program robots and the 12 children work together to save the people from the dangers and disaster. Oozora Taiyou (what an expressive name...) is late from the first training, when he goes for a rescue work with his JETROBO. Every 12 children are approved, and they are separated in 3 groups: Red Wings, Blue Sirens and Yellow Gears, and rescue the people from danger. The story isn't big, there are smaller stories in every episodes. Some episodes were made interesting with the children's background story, but those are only for curiosity, they don't give anything to the main story. The big mistake of the anime is the antagonist itself. I don't know, why is he revealed in about the 40th episode, otherwise, he's really ridiculous. I think, even children can't take him seriously. He just disappeares before the end of the anime. But why if he there? He hasn't any function in the anime. What I really liked in the anime, is the music. I'm a big JAM Project fan, so, I don't need to explain, why I like it. The opening is cute, Kitadani Hiroshi took his lovable childish self into the song, and it makes the opening good to listen. But the ending... is like masterpiece! That's an Endoh Masaaki solo, and as always, he takes seriously this song as well. The title is expressive, it's really like a march. I can imagine Endoh Masaaki as fire colonel, who leads the group with this great song. Anyway I think, Endoh Masaaki is the greatest japanese male singer, and this song confirmed this feeling inside me. So yes... I started to watch this anime because of the JAM Project opening and ending song (I know them for years), but I offer to give a try to this anime. Simple, yet lovely and if you let your child self go, you might enjoy this anime.
