Synopsis

Thirteen years after their sudden disappearance, an alien race known as the Heterodyne resurface without warning. To combat the Heterodyne, three office workers from the 21st Century Security Corporation operate Dai-Guard - a giant robot no longer regarded as an oversized paperweight. Unfortunately, Dai-Guard is somewhat obsolete and in disrepair. It's a tough job, but salarymen can also save the world.

On the surface this may seem bland and boring, but it actually is refreshing to see a show tackle the real world elements of having a giant robot fighting to save you. Other mech shows tend to gloss over the logistics of things such as insurance and property damage. But in Dai Guard there is a constant pressure on the pilots ...

Mixed Feelings
Dai-Guard is essentially a series that comically combines the super robot type of mecha anime and the real robot type of mecha anime by handling elements of the former in the setting of the latter. It’s simultaneously a comical take on the classic formula and a tribute to some of the most iconic old school titles in the genre.

Visually you can tell the series is outdated, even by its time it isn’t very good. The artwork is kinda weak, the character designs are simple, the coloring has several issues to the point that one character has two different hair colours throughout the series, one seemingly ...
