If you’ve looked through Shouji Kawamori’s massive backlog before, then you’d be aware of the occasional original concept that takes a departure from his iconic mecha anime. For myself, learning about these outliers was surprising, especially with Anyamal Tantei Kiruminzoo, a children’s anime about anthropomorphic magical girls with themes of ecological concern and friendship. Another one of these anime was Chikyuu Bouei Kazoku, which, unlike Kiruminzoo, Kawamori plays a much bigger part in besides just creating the original concept for. Having played a huge role in the script-writing for Chikyuu Bouei Kazoku, I was surprised to learn that this was Kawamori’s first time writing a comedy anime — because his ability to intertwine complete and utter absur…

"The Only Way To Save This Family Is For Them To Save The World"
The Daichis is one of those series that is so obscure and easy to overlook despite the fact it even got licensed and fully dubbed into English you would be forgiven for not having heard of it. It was this obscurity and ultimately curiosity that led me to watching the show and I'm so glad I did.
So airing in 2001 and animated by Group TAC The Daichis is a series about a family teetering on the edge of oblivion. We have the obese computer obsessed Father Mamoru, the equally work obsessed Mother Seiko, the teenage Daughter on the verge of a total mental breakdown Nozomi and finally the feisty young kid Dai who is trying to just make the best of it all.
The show starts at the breakfast table with Seiko demanding Mamoru for a d…

This proved to be a fun title. The Daichis serves as a parody of sorts of the sentai genre with the dysfunctional chemistry of the titular family as they get forced into becoming battle suit-powered "superhumans" to combat alien threats. The family issues of the family are explored both humorously and seriously where father Mamoru is a weak-minded otaku too spineless to stand up for himself, wife Seiko is too self-centered and greedy to care for her family's well-being, daughter Nozomi is stressed from doing all the housework for her family and son Dai is quite the problem child. Their unique circumstances as Earth's guardians slowly bring their family unity back together as they learn that despite how much they can't stand the personality quirks and bad habits of one another, they still c…

A great (albeit unorthodox) series. Though some of the plots may seem skewed because of the poor translations, the story is clear and I think it is a great series.

This is a fantastic anime, very fun to watch! My friend was like "Do you want to watch Daichis?" and I said "What is it about?" and he said "It's like The Incredibles, but it's better, funnier, and it's anime!" It's not really like The Incredibles, I mean it does have a superheroic family, but that is about the extent of the similarity.
Story: is pretty pretty good. a little bit of everything: drama, comedy, action...
Art: pretty kickass.
Sound: this anime has the BEST opening song EVER.
Character: some characters appear to be flat at first, but there are surprising depths of character.
Enjoyment: i enjoyed it very much.
Overall: It's worth watching if you ever get the opportunity.
