AniWorthJuusou Kikou Dancougar Nova
Introduction
In the 22nd century, there are no longer any world wide wars. Instead, small scale wars break out all over the Earth. Meanwhile, a large robot appears who protects the weak. It is called "Dancougar Nova". Some even call it God.
However, no one knows the reason for its existence - not even its pilots.
Then, another robot, beyond anyone's expectations, reveals itself as the true enemy and begins its attack on the Earth.
Dancougar Nova retaliates against this enemy with a power that was kept secret until now. Will Dancougar Nova be able to save the Earth? The prelude to this explosive confrontation rings out.

As a fan of the original Choujuu Kishin Dancougar series, Nova is a complete dumpster fire. It pretty much ignores the original story of Dancouga. They just used the premise of the Dancouga mecha and some of its abilities. For some of the mecha, they chose to use Mazinger and its brethren as a basis for ability ideas. as in a flying fist attack or a tornado type attack. The final episode was the worst, defiling the original show by claiming they were fighting the original Dancouga which looked nothing like the original, nor had the same abilities. It was just bad.
If they were to remove the Dancouga name from this series and sever ties to the original so that it was a stand-alone show it would be mediocre at best and maybe warrant a five overall rating. As part of the Dancouga line of seri…

This was actually pretty all right. I'm a big fan of the original Dancouga series and at some point swore to never watch Dancouga Nova out of principle. I made a snap judgment assuming it'd be some moe fanservice sell-out, but the reality is that it's a standard mecha series that doesn't go so far as to insult the original series.

I decided to shovel down this one cour series since Dancouga Nova seems to have replaced the original in the Super Robot Wars games, and how many mecha series are there that aren't a billion episodes long?
Given its…

The storyline also has quite a wierd plot. But it ends up being an anime a little bit sloppy side.
The anime really shows how outdated the anime feels when you first look at it. I'm sure that was partly to keep the feel of the original series but have a new generation look to it.
The characters were kind of off the wall choices for saving the world. But little by little they tell you why each one was chosen.
Now the sound not horrible but its not great either, its bearable. But what saves this show some points in the sound department is the musical score.
For what its worth as a 12-episode series and a retelling of an old 80's animation, the show isnt that bad.
If you cant keep an open mind, i highly reccomend something else. But for those looking for a cheesy action anime with a lil…
