Hey folks, this will be a review for Kenzen Robo Daimidaler. This show isn't labeled a parody show, but it feels a lot like one. To be perfectly frank, the show is hard to swallow. I spent most of my time rolling my eyes and sighing. However I feel like simply marking this as a shitty attempt to pander to "immature" anime fans is kinda false in this case.
The story is pretty straightforward. Bad guys from the penguin empire are attacking humans and trying to steal all of their Eros particles. Eros particles are exactly what they sound like(erotic particles). The show mainly is a robot fighting show. On one side we have the Penguin empire sending robots to steal Eros and try and defeat the human robot Daimidaler. The humans respond to attacks from the Penguins.
The show is mostly episodic with a overarching theme of battle between these two groups. Some strange technology bits get thrown in from time to time and interesting curve balls like a human turning into a penguin and vice versa. However the story as a whole is rather weak.
The art is fitting. The show was released in 2014, but it has that air of older anime. Thick lines, grimy and huge robot fights...etc. I noticed the shading or coloring was strange when the robots fought sometimes, but there is probably a reason for that. The soundtrack was strange but again fitting.
The characters were again pretty weak. There is little to no real development. Each episode comes down to fighting spirit, boob groping and various other easily recognizable tropes.
Now, many of the elements that people will use to grade an anime will totally sink this shows ratings. I also am in agreement it deserves it. I hate parody shows because they turn out one of two ways, pointless, or they become too much of what they are making fun of. However there are some things this show should be given credit for.
First the jokes are kinda funny and felt honest to a degree. For example one time the penguins break into our MC's house and find his porn mags. He returns home and when he sees them he runs away. Before they chase him they say its proper manners to put away the porn mags and put them back where they belong before chasing him. Another thing is the spoof doesn't turn the show into what its making fun of. The show has a flow to it and even as boring or slightly cringe as I found it, I still could enjoy some of the elements. A final thing I will credit is the ending dialogue between the Leader of the human robot side and the Japanese defense force commander.
Rant:
One things that boggles my mind still is how people can be told a show is ecchi or have naughty themes and still go into it thinking its ok to trash that aspect of the show. There are many types of ecchi shows and this one though heavy on it, also is using it as a driving force. I myself don't find this to be an excuse but seriously why bother if you cant handle sexual content?
TLDR: Wouldn't recommend. Spoofy, ecchi, hard to enjoy as a whole. Has a few good moments.
