AniWorthBullet Train Transforming Robot Shinkalion The Animation
Introduction
Hayato Hayasugi (his last name is a pun on the words for "too fast") and other children will serve as conductors to pilot the Shinkalion. The Shinkalion robots are various models of real-life Japanese bullet trains (shinkansen) that transform into robots to fight an unknown evil to protect the safety and peace of Japan.
The children must work together with the adults of the Shinkansen Ultra Evolution Institute (SUEI) to defeat a monster that looks like a jet black bullet train.

Simply great kids anime and as a teen I really enjoyed this too as a Shinkansen fan to combine them with mecha is super cool the plot is surprisingly fun and good paced. Wish they could include other shinkansen such as the e4 max 0-300 series too but it’s fine. Kids love this in Japan and maybe adults too and I enjoyed the story more than bleach filler lol. The battle scenes were cg but didn’t mind cause it fit in. I love the sound design too with the transformation scenes and it was pretty good. Simple story but the gimics and plot makes shinkalion really good

I remember when the mecha genre used to be one of the most popular genres in the anime medium.
Around the early 80s to the late 2000s anime studio’s used to produce and release a tone of mecha anime ranging from Gundam, Brave series, Gurren Lagann, Ideon, Macross, Patlabor, Evangelion, etc. A lot of anime fans that grew up around that period loved the mecha genre and the genre helped the industry from crashing down in the early 90s.
Unfortunately, as time went on the mecha genre granted faded out to obscurity thanks to the rise of the isekai and ecchi genres in the 2010 era. It didn’t help that many of the popular mecha anime from the last decade weren’t that good or at the very least pale compare to the mecha animes from the 90s, 00s. Darling in the Franxx, Aldonah Zero fall into the bad…

Okay, this needs to be addreased first. Kento Shinoyama can be a GOOD writer when it's not Toei's stupidity making him feel misrable.
Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion The Animation is the example of how to make a good kid show once in a life time by having the writer be giving free will.If you're looking for anything deep, this would be it.But take notes I will make you understand why Kento can also screw up sometime when it comes to anime, but not all the time.
Case and Point: Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and Kamen Rider Zi-O
With the Toei staff being beyound terrible from newcomers trying to gain mentor wisdom is hard in a post deviant era that doesn't allow that. Toei over the last 10 years has been screwed up alot of good that are either Kamen Rider Or Super Sentai…

If you like mecha with good visuals and fun, also for people that want to start mecha, get to have a chance to learn more about Japan and the trains/RAILWAY,there too, you in for some badass knowledge XD, people MUST WATCH this one Shinkansen.
This is like the Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V of mecha. not your standard thing and more people need to watch both. Both are very FLASHY and has that SPIRIT AND ENERGY !!!!! The ANIMATION of Shinkansen is GODLY during transformation sequence of the Shinkansen trains (bullet trains/super high speed trains) to robots, BEST I'VE SEEN, dude I've seen a lot of robot anime. THIS IS GOOD. THEY ARE DIFFERENT SERIES/MODELS OF SHINKANSEN E5 E6 E7, etc. transform to BADASS ROBOTS. The robots can also combine, GATTAI , so this anime does not miss out on that traditional Cla…
