Dai-Guard -
Hostile Takeover (Vol. 1)
Anime DVD Review
It's retro-silliness when a "retired" robot is again called into duty to save the world! Dai-Guard takes place in a future where "Shogun Warrior" types have become tourist attractions from the heyday, but are now considered obsolete. But when a old threat re-awakens, it's up to the hastily slapped together crew to pilot the robot (much to the chagrin of the robot's owners!) and save humanity.
Dai-Guard is a fresh, entertaining, thought-provoking, wonderful combination of humor and action and drama that brings with it an important message — just because it's old doesn't mean it's not useful! The animation is slick, and it's good to see those old-style robots doing what they do best, which is slamming 100 foot-tall monsters into the sides of mountains!
