With the success of Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam and to some extent, ZZ Gundam, Sunrise decided to create a new mecha series since they felt that Gundam was getting too old and thus created Dragonar, a potential sucessor to Gundam and a reintroduction of mecha anime to potential new fans. Even though it was a fairly popular when it aired in 1987, it is a fairly obscure mecha anime that only few fans will hear about and is main reason why no proper subs exist for it.

This part was especially disheartening, as they had already introduced interesting foils in the dutybound Char Aznable-clone Meio Plato and his group of loyal subordinates. These characters, as well as ongoings of the evil Giganos Empire, too is sidelined to make way ...
