Juusou Kikou Dancougar Nova

This show sort of reminds me of the Power Rangers. Only the Power Rangers were lame, didn't really do anything at all and worst of all: it was live action.
The robots in Dancouga Nova are animated in a typical 80's style (like Macron One), but don't look old due to the wonders of CGI. Furthermore, this series looks fresh and has a lot of potential for the main characters to develop.
If you like mecha series and loved the 80's, this is definitely a show to pick up!

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The anime really shows how outdated the anime feels when you first look at it.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 fanservice that you can finish in one sitting pick this up.

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 series, I would give it a two or three at best.
