Overman King Gainer is the lesser-known TV anime Yoshiyuki Tomino created and directed between the acclaimed Turn A Gundam and the infamous Reconguista in G. While it's definitely more in line with G-Reco than Turn A and shares a lot of the idiosyncrasies Tomino would be derided for in the former, it's significantly more restrained. You could view this as it being less ambitious, which is true to a certain extent, but the average viewer is likely to find greater enjoyment in King Gainer. If you are a fan of either of the two works I mentioned, Tomino in general, or just a lover of the mecha genre then this is definitely worth checking out.
The plot is quite simple, and supposedly based on a series of French novels (of which there are 97!) called "La Compagnie des glaces," or "The Ice Comp…

Overman King Gainer can be called a "Happy Tomino" show, meaning that it falls in the same line as L-Gaim, ZZ Gundam and Xabungle rather than his more depressing works like Victory Gundam, The Ideon and Zeta Gundam.

The characters are an esoteric and genuinely funny bunch, ranging from the geeky and inept main character to a Russian ninja, an adorable teacher and a camp train condu…

Before I begin this review, it needs to be noted that I got into this show because of the opening which is in my opinion the best opening in an anime ever.
Story: While the plot of the show is a good one, the biggest flaw in this show is jumping around in the plot, it leaves you to guess what is going on most of the time, for example missing a key part of a fight, or a new power introduced.
Art: Being the background is just white with snow most of the time the foreground and characters look very good, while a little lazy it works.
Sounds: The sound effects for this are well done and the ones repeted are not super annoying. While the music(the shows highpoint outside of the op) is very well done with good battle music, and you will find this show in battles alot so it works.
Characters:…
