Retro Mecha Club - MyAnimeList.net

Information

This is a group that pays little tribute to old mecha series of the 70's and sometimes 90's. They are not written really well nor animated to a degree in which we mock them for being so lame. But this is where it started. from Gigantour to GoLion to Gurren Lagann. This is where we pay tribute to the robots that are just too funnny to be taken seriously. So if you are fan of 70's, 80's, 90's mecha anime and Super Robots. I think this is where you belong.

Layzner's OVAs are ready by /m/subs and BlueFixer! :)

I read that the Giganos Empire is based on the Moon and not set up as colonies like in Gundam 0079. The circumstances of the story change significantly from Gundam as the story progresses, and from watching the series, it felt like Kaine and his friends spent most of their time fighting against the Gon Jem squad rather than the "Char" clone Meio Plato.

I don't think Dragonar could've progressed any further as a franchise like Gundam, all it could ever be is a one-shot series and nothing more. Yep, that first opening of Dragonar is quite catchy, like many 80's mecha songs. Ideon's OP is also another catchy song.

I've heard that somewhere too so I guess they tried to have to similar franchises running along but they failed. Well if they were succesfull we'll have to probably bear with the existence of too many similar stuff! Maybe they would have a Dragonar Z, a Dragonar Wing, a Dragonar Seed etc. Lol...

I read that Dragonar was intended to "reboot" the Gundam franchise or be the start of something new after ZZ once so that's probably why they're so similar in concept. What reminded me of Dragonar in L-Gaim is the general goofiness of everything, especially the cast.

Love that OP too, one of my favorites.

Interesting! I'll have to watch Layzner as soon as m/subs finish subbing it then! I kind of liked how bad they where in Dragonar! Lol...
