This show made me addictive as hell for weeks on end, but sadly it was the sliced up american dub on t.v but nevertheless, NO REVIVAL DAMMIT!! one of the first anime serie´s i was damn hooked on.The original story is from the 1975 tekkaman serie´s wich in the 90´s version is extended and more feroucious, with a far darker storyline. the mecha design and tekset system is one of the damn reassn i was hooked on, especially when other tekkaman enemies appeared later in the serie´s.
Very good animation, but not too mature and yep, handdrawn in detail
were the potential is very high during fightscene´s, as for blade, he´s BADASS, but its more than just fighting , personal truggle´s and a very dark revealing of blade´s fammily made this an interesting show. the last 3 ep. are my all time fav, my eyes burnt out of its sockets at the flashy blade v.s evil fight with a damn good soundtrack! and good chara development for the rest of the cast with their own internal probs in everyday life!
