Daitetsujin Wan-Sebun

This is an underrated giant robot show with entertaining characters and great giant robot battles.

This series follows a little boy named Saburo which he joins the red mufflers for revenge of the death his family who was killed by one of the giant robots made by the evil artificial intelligence Brain.

And along side Saburo he has a giant mech named Daitetsujin 17 fight off the many mechs and schemes the Brain party has in store for them.

The first 16 episodes are surprisingly dark and fast paced. Many scenes focus on violent battles with the Brain party soldiers and the red mufflers.

But the 17th episode introduces Gontetsu, which is the comedy relief. After that the show gets way more lighthearted. That's why I think the first half of the show is better than the second half.

Also Gontetsu is a decent comedy relief character.

His early episodes can be a little sloppy but he gets better as the show goes on.

Saburo has a lot of character development here.

When 17 says that he is Saburo's friend, Saburo is cheering and celebrating that he finally has a friend.

Now. The giant robot battles.

The giant robot battles are the best thing about the show. Each robot has a unique look and abilities. Each robot has a fair share of miniature destruction in each of their episodes.

I also think this show has some really good characters, the side characters are okay but the main characters are entertaining to watch.

Overall pretty good show!

9/10.
