Yo, lets get to the point Borgman madnight gigs is a recap / conclusion ova of the tv anime series sonic soldier borgman.

Normally in my review i do topics with ratings for art, story, characters, sound and etc. but for this ova i think is not possible. This is a 29 minutes compilation of the openings, endings and song theme of the main characters with the reused footage of some episodes of the series.

Personally i like of the songs they choose and on the last song of the ova they use a new 9 minute animation to show the future of the three borgman and ... the four kids students, it has a lot of nostagia on this ova and i enjoyed see what the characters ending to become (shinji became a astronaut, molly enter on a university, rando goes play football and officer burger is married).

Its not essencial to watch this ova but for those who want to know how things end go to watch.

Yo, its me again writing a review for the show “Sonic Soldier Borgman”. I hope that my review can give an idea of what kind of show borgman is and if you want to give a try on this series.

Story: 6
The story it takes place in a high tech future where technology is top notch, the youma empire is planning to conquer the earth but there are three people to stop them. Ryo the hot headed leader, Chuck the smart and handsome guy and Anise the cute and brave girl, those three are teachers on a public school but when youma start their invade they ... transform into to borgman to fight the monsters.

The plot is a clear mix between a super sentai / metal hero / 80’s anime, the alien empire the transformation on a colored armors and the personalities of the protagonists is a clear references of sentai metal hero, don’t expect nothin’ complex on the plot and be ready for a slow pace development but there is a plot twist and some revelations here and there (note: there are some plot holes too but nothing too serious).

Art: 7
Its the typical 80's artstyle and from one of my favorites artists, Kia Asamiya under de alias of Michitaka Kikuchi. But inconsistency is the name of this show, going from some episodes of excellent quality (episodes 21, 25, 26, 33, 34 and 35) to some poor animation.

Sound: 7
The sound is one of the great points, the opening is amazing and the endings is really good, plays a lot of jazz, j pop and chill hop during the episodes and i liked very much.

Characters: 6
Overall the VA/Seiyuus the cast is really good, in special chuck and dust jead seiyuus. Most of the characters have their own personality an individual development and is explain the motivation of them, on each episode one of the main characters is the focus. I can say that Chuck, Memory Jean and Dust Jead are my favorites and the phantom swat leader Miki is a great character, Ryo and Anise are fine but there are the some annoying kids on the show (specially Shinji), I can see why the kids were there and makes sense but sometimes its annoying.

Enjoyment: 7
Well, i enjoyed this anime mostly because i like 80's/90's obscure animes. And i can pointed that this is a decent show and if you want to watch a light, simple and fun anime this a excellent choice, don’t expect a complex plot and innovation on the characters.

Overall: 7
If you are interested in watch Borgman I can say that you’re looking for some simple yet fun anime. You have to be patient because some episodes don't advance much on the story. It may get a bit repetitive, but the anime style and the number of episodes can be very friendly to you, so if you have some freetime and want to watch a short but very fun show, go fot it.

I hope you like the review and find it usefull.

Yo wassup, I am here again on MAL to write a review for the OVA “Shippuu! Iron Leaguer – Under the banner of silver” this is also my second review. I hope you like.

Story: 7
The story it takes place a few years from the TV show “Iron Leaguer”, só just this ova if you have watched the TV series.

The story goes throw a change when silver castle as a new owner and new players and this ignite multiple events and some of the original members tryed to transforme the new silver castle back to his roots, i can say that is a good sequel, the ... OVA format is a excellent choice because its just 5 episodes and it feels just right. It has some of the plot holes of the prequel explained here (like about the history and intentions of the iron soldier company) and some new plots of the antagonists, the end it gave a so-so taste but it was fun.

Art: 8
The art remains the same in therms os design, but it really improve the quality of he animation because of the OVA format.

Sound: 5
The sound is average with some of improvement here and there.

Characters: 7
VA/Seiyuus are the same and with some minor additions, famous names and voices that are remarkable. This tima the spotlight goes for mach windy and the stray leaguers but we still have little development.

Enjoyment: 7
I can say that i have fun watching this OVA, its was nice to see that the characters that i learn to like again and its just 5 episodes, its gave me a breath of fresh air and the feeling of seeing the leaguers again.

Overall: 7
As i say before, this OVA is a sequel of the TV series, then just watch if you watch the TV series. If you watched the TV series and liked i definitly recommend this OVA, you will like a lot.

Hello, I am only the 1st person on MAL to write a review for the show “Shippuu! Iron Leaguer” and this is also my first review. I hope that my review can give people an idea of what kind of show iron leaguer is and if they want to give this series a chance.

Story: 6
The story it takes place in a future where all the sports are played by a team of robots. in this context there is the Silver Castle the worst team in the soccer league, but the fate of the team changes drastically when Magnum Ace, a misterious leaguer, join the team ... and recruites other strong leaguers to battle Dark Prince, the strongest team in the series.

The story sounds simple and cliché, the pace of the series is very unstable and one of the critics that i have is that 52 episodes is a lot for a simple plot. Aside this the plot have some of misteries that is revealed at bits, the story is divided in 3 arcs the inicial arc that introduces the world the teams and the characters, the second is the stray league arc that goes on another story that it gives the show a nice breath of fresh air and the third arc the world cup tournament.

Art: 7
Its the typical 90's artstyle and for me its was good but it isn't anything groundbreaking. Some episodes is really good and others is fine at is best, in general there's consistency.

Sound: 5
The sound is mediocre at is best, there just 2 or 3 song that i can say that i like aside from the opening, the rest is very forgetful.

Characters: 7
First the VA/Seiyuus the cast is really good, famous names and voices that are remarkable. saying that most of the characters have their own personality specially the main characters but there are a little to none development, this the classic what you see is what you get. All that aside every characters have their moments and their time to shine with all of then being likeable.

Enjoyment: 7
I can say that i enjoy this anime, mostly because i feel attracted to this 80's/90's obscure animes. But i can pointed that this is a decent and well built show and if you want to watch a light, simple and fun anime this a excellent choice.

Overall: 7
Iron Leaguer is definitely not going to be a show for everyone. You have to be very open-minded to old-school animes. You have to be patient because some episodes don't advance much to the plot. The theme can represent what the 90's was for the anime industry (a decade very experimental for anime plots). It may get a bit repetitive and be far from perfect, but the solid characters and a fun and easygoing feeling can turn this show a very fun and pleasant gem.

This is my first review in the MAL so i expected to make a decent job.
