Madô kingu Granzort

If you're looking for a cartoon with mecha fights, cool flashy transformation scenes, and a good story, Mado King Granzort is the cartoon for you. Shore, the story is not exactly Evangelion, but it's appropriate for kids, and adults can also watch it, cuz it's not cheesy at all. The plot is simple - a group of kids is traveling to fight the evil wizard empire that wants to take over the world. Not very original, but it gets the job done. The thing is that these kids have the power to summon giant robot heads that can transform into robots to fight evil monsters sent to destroy them. The scenes when kids are summoning robots are little long (they are about two minutes long), but they are beautiful to watch and listen since the music is also very cool (special credits goes for Henji Suzuki who made awesome soundtrack). And finally when it all comes to an end, we get a beautiful story about friendship and family love.

Good humor, sharp battles and great music...if you haven't watch Granzort yet, and you have the opportunity for it, do it! You won't be sorry!

Madoo Guranzotto, or how the title is translated in my country - Granzort, is one of the best anime series I ever saw.

I was a small kid while watching this and it was something very unique for me and other kids of my generation. It was very refreshing and exciting to watch these action-packed mecha anime. The story is about three chosen kids, Daichi, Larbie and Gus, which holds magic powers that flows through special set of weapons: A gun, whip and bow (by their names). With those weapons they summon a magical warrior robots, the leader is Granzort (Daichi) and his sidekicks Aquabeat (Larbie) and Winzort (Gus). They use these robots to fight evil Jado clan, with the help of good witch V-Mei and little funny girl Guri Guri.

Every episode is very special. It gives a strong sensation through the astonishing fighting scenes, music scenes, especially the summoning scenes and series intro that gives you a strong bliss. It is a little bit childish humor, but who cares, it is very enjoyable even for adults (especially for those who saw the series in childhood).

Whenever you got a chance to buy it, or download it, DO IT! This is something you'll never forget...
