Anime in Focus: Dai Guard Episode 2

<- Previous Episode

Alright, after a slow paced episode, I happened to be in an area where escaping the second episode of Dai-Guard was impossible. Hence putting me in a position whereI should probably discuss it.

After pushing away the Heterodyne that attacked the city our mains were in, it becomes apparent that the fight actually caused quite a bit of damage. The military wants to transport the injured through their means, but the guys at Dai Guard corp just want to skip the paperwork and do it themselves, since they have the means. After a bit of negotiating, they manage to convince mister government official that this is a logical course of action, and they manage to get it done. Also, it should be noted that the guy with a pink bandanna is now wearing a suit, and his pink bandanna has gone missing. This is because he has to appear at press conferences in order to discuss the heterodyne attack.

Anyway, while they are flying away on a rather large military plane thingy, mister government official fails to inform everybody that the big scary heterodyne has been following them, and will probably appear where they land. Fortunately, the corporation has fitted their giant robot with a drill arm, so that everybody in the room is forced to make Gurren Lagan references. The team can’t actually control the arm very well, and winds up screwing up with it a few times. They manage to kill the heterodyne, although slowly.

Overall, this show still has the pacing issues still apparent in episode 1. It might be more interesting if events didn’t flow at the rate a snail crawls. Might or might not be watching more, but it should be noted that this won’t be ranking very high on my list of priorities.

Anime in focus: Dai Guard Episode 1

I was introduced to this series back in the days when I was running ye local anime shoppe, and one of my regulars bought it. A couple years later and we’re having a party at his house, and he suggests we watch it.

The first episode starts out with an Angel… no wait, sorry, Heterodyne is attacking something. Anyways, we then flash forward to some defense expo, where we focus on Dai Guard corporation. These guys have built a giant robot just to make themselves look cool apparently, since no giant monsters have appeared since that time. Makes a cool mascot, but nobody wants to pay for it. However, the companies mascot employee, a guy who advertises for the company while sporting a faaabulous pink bandanna, fully believes in their giant hunk of metal.

After a lengthy discussion about funding the giant robot, a giant sea monster attacks. This thing looks like a giant cobra with tentacles. The government official guy tells the guys at Dai Guard to run off, but the guy in the fabulous bandanna manages to rally the three people together to pilot their giant robot. This leads to a relatively boring fight where they wrestle the giant sea monster and throw it into the ocean, forcing it’s retreat Then everybody breathes a sigh of relief because they were starting to run out of fuel for their giant robot that was just a mascot a few minutes ago.

While the first episode manages to set the scene, I find that it moved unhealthily slowly, considering everything that happened. Maybe it’ll get more interesting, but I really wish more would happen in the timeframe.
