It's up to four humanoid amnesiacs to save the world when the mysterious Dr. Tarsan wipes their memories and taps into a strange but powerful force inside of them. Hoping this "cyonic power" will stop Captain Garimouth, the world's resident megalomaniac, the rag-tag team sets off in individual space crafts that can link up and transform into a massive robot called Dangioh if need be. Rol Kran, a 29-year-old rebel from the planet Latesia is the sole male; the others include 19-year-old Mia Alice, 14-year-old escaped princess Lamba Nom, and 23-year-old Amazon Pai Thunder. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Not much effort was put into this English version of Dangaioh. To my disappointment, this DVD is strictly an English dub. The voice acting is mediocre. Laurence Guinness is mentioned as the producer of the English version who also produced the English version of Ghost in the Shell. If someone wrote the English script of this OAV they didn't take credit for it and rightfully so. No attempt was made to follow the Japanese script. Instead the producer opted for a ad lib parody like those seen on Mystery Science Theater 2000.
I rented this OAV after watching The Great Dangaioh series hoping to gain a different perspective of the anime. There's a 10 minute introduction on the OAV that appears to be a recap of the original TV series--it's poorly done. I'm wondering if it was thrown in the English version to help explain the story. By the way, this anime claims to been recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound. If it was, I was not impressed. |
